In this episode of Tech Anatomy, we bring machine learning out of theory and into practice with three real-world use cases that are already improving healthcare today.

Topics Covered:

• Classifying tumors as benign or malignant using logistic regression

• Predicting hospital readmissions to improve patient outcomes

• Estimating length of hospital stay with linear regression

• How hospitals are using ML models to support faster, smarter decisions

• Breaking down complex AI concepts into simple, step-by-step processes

More about the podcast:
Tech Anatomy is where health meets technology — and complexity becomes clarity.

Hosted by Anca Petre, pharmacist, entrepreneur, and health tech expert, this bilingual (English & French) podcast explores the innovations shaping the future of healthcare: AI, digital twins, data, virtual care, and more.

Each episode is a guided exploration: we dissect technology like in a lab, highlight what truly matters, and debunk common myths — health industry leaders the clarity they need to understand, anticipate, and act on technological change.

With a clear, professional, and approachable tone, Tech Anatomy makes health tech massively simplified — without ever compromising on depth or rigor.

What Is Machine Learning, Really?

In this episode, we break down one of the most hyped—and often misunderstood—technologies of our time: machine learning. Forget the buzzwords and sci-fi fantasies—this is your no-nonsense guide to what machine learning actually is, how it works, and why it matters.

Whether you’ve nodded through countless meetings or podcasts without really getting it, or you just want a clearer understanding of the basics, this episode is for you.

Topics Covered:

• What machine learning actually is (and what it isn’t)

• The difference between learning by instruction vs. learning by example

• Step-by-step breakdown: how a model is built, trained, and tested

• Real-world example: predicting diabetes using patient data

• Common challenges like messy data and overfitting

• Why understanding machine learning is empowering—not intimidating

In this episode, Anca tells the fascinating story of AlphaFold, the AI system that cracked one of biology’s greatest mysteries: how proteins fold. What started as an ambitious challenge at DeepMind has become a transformative breakthrough with far-reaching implications for medicine, drug discovery, and beyond.

Topics Covered:

• Why protein folding matters and why it was such a hard problem

• How DeepMind shifted from game-playing AIs like AlphaGo to solving core problems in biology

• The evolution from AlphaFold 1 to AlphaFold 2 and what made the second version revolutionary

• How AlphaFold uses deep learning and transformer models to predict 3D protein structures

• The impact of AlphaFold across global research, healthcare, and biotech

• What’s next in AI-powered biology—from protein complexes to drug discovery
