Wenatchee native creates AI tool to help cancer patients

The briefing

Publisher Emeritus Rufus Woods profiles Wenatchee native Steve Brown, who used an AI app on his own medical records after a rare blood cancer diagnosis and found warning signs his doctors had missed. The tool identified a mutation that made the standard treatment protocol ineffective, leading him to a therapy that put him in remission. Brown founded Curewise.com with fellow Wenatchee native Lisa Booth to help cancer patients become better-informed partners with their physicians.
