X-Health.show - meet the future of healthcare
The X-Health.show brings to you brilliant minds behind programming living cells, tech that detects pre-term delivery in seconds, brain-computer interface or apps that employ AI to match you, your disease with the best treatment.
For the eXtra Health of the future.
You’ll meet visionaries from Switzerland who push the boundaries of healthcare.
Engineers who teamed up with doctors, scientists turned CEOs, doctors programming AI-powered apps, researchers who abandoned university labs to improve your health.
You’ll hear stories of promising startups founders and successful serial entrepreneurs.
Patients who imagine a better way.
You’ll
learn about new disease treatments
understand how AI-driven health tech can improve your life
grasp the way founders innovate
or even, get inspired to jumpstart innovation at your company.
Luckily, the X-Health.show is based in Switzerland, the most innovative country in the world according to World Intellectual Property Organization. For the 12th consecutive year. No wonder when the abundance of funds for innovation meets the ability to commercialize the discoveries.
With notable research institutions situated nearby top pharmaceutical companies, there’s more to expect. More medical innovations, break-through femtech, life changing biotech, developments in digital health, genetic engineering, and wearables, such as smart ring, blood pressure measurement on your wrist or ECG in your pyjama.
Follow the show to meet these amazing innovators.

AI-Guided Tracheal Intubation Procedure. Who's Ready for Robotic Intubation: Philippe Ganz, aiEndoscopic
Could a robot perform trachea intubation? How about letting AI guide clinicians and paramedics in inserting the tube into people's airways?
You’ll hear
- what is tracheal intubation and why it is far from putting a straw in a bottle
- what can go tragically wrong
- how long do anaestesiologists perfect the skill and how much less some other specializations have training
- how to train AI in intubation
- can a robot do the job
- and also, Alex's attempt to intubate a manekin
Philippe Ganz is the CEO and co-founder of aiEndoscopic. With background in aeronautical engineering he switched to physics that he found too theoretical and ended up happily with biomedical engineering.
aiEndoscopic is a Swiss seed-stage startup that developed larynGuide an AI assisted guiding software for safer video laryngoscopy. Think: guided tracheal intubation for beginners. A fully robotic solution, IntuBot, comes next. And they do not stop there.
