In the first session of The Innovator’s Rx: Stories from Clinician Innovators series, we welcome Dr. Alex Bilbily, a radiologist at Sunnybrook and co-founder of 16Bit, to share his journey–not just in bridging medicine and entrepreneurship, but in pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with AI. From developing cutting-edge AI tools to seamlessly integrating them into clinical practice, Dr. Bilbily is redefining the future of radiology.

Dr. Bilbily will discuss:

  • From Clinician to Entrepreneur – What led him to launch 16Bit, the challenges of balancing a startup with clinical practice, and key lessons from his entrepreneurial journey.
