LookDeep’s mission is to leverage A.I. to revolutionize telemedicine by improving patient monitoring in inpatient care settings using cameras and computer vision. Our journey illustrates that strategy choices and technology choices are one and the same.  

Narinder Singh, the co-founder and CEO of LookDeep Health, discusses the company’s disciplined approach to strategy and recognizes the complexities inherent in adapting algorithms, leading to prioritization based on algorithmic challenges rather than competitive hurdles. 

“What differentiates LookDeep’s product is the hours spent building a data set and ensuring its robustness (e.g., testing it with multiple people in a room at different times of day). This arduous approach to data generation not only increases the accuracy of the algorithm dramatically but also serves as a strategic and competitive advantage. Anyone who wants to compete with LookDeep’s product will have to make the same investment in data.”  

In essence, A.I. success hinges on bridging the gap between technology and strategy. As industries explore AI’s potential to enhance operations and reduce costs, business leaders who understand the algorithm-building process are indispensable.
