Decoding the Real-World Language of Healthcare with Guest Jo Halliday
Life sciences doesn’t have a data problem. It has a making-sense-of-the-data problem.
In this episode of Fractals: Life Science Conversations, Jo Halliday, CEO and Founder of Talking Medicines, joins host Colin Miller to explore how AI, natural language processing, and real-world signals can help life science organizations better understand what patients and healthcare professionals are actually saying—and turn those insights into better decisions.
From the episode:
Why unstructured healthcare conversations can reveal insights traditional datasets miss
How Talking Medicines evolved from collecting first-party patient data to analyzing signals across multiple sources
What rapidly changing GLP-1 conversations tell us about increasingly informed and empowered patients
How message resonance and behavioral trends can help pharma determine whether its communications are actually moving the needle
Why the future of AI in life sciences will be less about the technology itself—and more about the questions it can help answer

Beyond the Snapshot: Imaging Biology in Motion with Roughan Sheedy & Beth Fisher
Imaging has traditionally been used to document what (already) happened. What if it could help determine what happens next?
On the newest episode of Fractals, Colin Miller is joined by Fidēs Imaging CEO Roughan Sheedy and Head of Women’s Health Beth Fisher to discuss how advanced imaging can support earlier, sharper development decisions.
They explore:
Why early-phase programs need more than standardized endpoints
How imaging biology in motion can uncover previously invisible phenomena
Where dynamic imaging may add value across GI disease, women’s health, fibrosis, inflammation, and solid tumors
What it will take for emerging imaging endpoints to earn regulatory credibility

Beyond Pain Management: A One-Medicine Approach to Osteoarthritis with Guests Graham Lumsden and Jonathan Larkin
What happens when human health, animal health, and entrepreneurial drug development intersect?
In this episode of Fractals: Life Science Conversations, Bracken CEO Colin Miller is joined by Senior Partners Graham Lumsden, BVM&S, Dip.M., MRCVS, and Jonathan Larkin, PhD, to discuss osteoarthritis innovation, One Medicine, and the collaborative pathways that can move novel therapies forward.
Together, they discuss:
Why osteoarthritis remains a major unmet need in both human and animal health
How disease-modifying approaches could shift treatment beyond pain management
The promise of bispecific antibody development in addressing both pain and cartilage degeneration
How animal health studies can help inform human development programs, and vice versa
Why human expertise, networks, and scientific judgment remain essential in the age of AI
