Altris AI Announces the Appointment of Grant Schmid as the VP Business Development

Altris AI, a leading AI software provider for OCT scan analysis, announces the appointment of Grant Schmid as the Vice President Business Development. Mr. Schmid is a proven leader in the eye care industry and has solid experience that will help him establish new partnerships for the company and lead corporate sales.

The recent surge in AI (artificial intelligence) applications across industries has transformed the technology landscape, especially in healthcare. While AI companies have existed for years, the explosion of tools like ChatGPT has popularized the integration of AI in everyday processes.

Grant was drawn to Altris AI for its focus on harnessing AI capabilities to assist doctors in making faster and more informed decisions.

According to Mr. Schmid, 

“Healthcare professionals are inundated with more data than most other professions, particularly in the eye care segment. Eye care specialists are subjected to multiple tests and instruments, generating a vast amount of data that must be reviewed comprehensively. A single Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) test can contain over five hundred thousand data points. This necessitates that doctors carefully analyze results from various tests, often overlapping with different devices, which can be time-consuming and detract from the time they have with their patients.”

 

At Altris AI, the mission is not to replace the vital human connection in medicine but to enhance it.

Grant also remarked that, 

“Some AI companies are positioning their products as replacements for human doctors, which undermines the essential aspects of patient care. Patients need to feel heard, and doctors choose this profession to help individuals. Altris AI enables doctors to spend more time with their patients, allowing them to focus on the human aspects of care rather than getting lost in data analysis.”
