Tomi Poutanen’s latest startup, Signal 1, is aiming to bring to market an AI tool that will help hospitals determine which patients are at greatest risk of dying and need immediate intervention

for more than US$100-million and became TD’s chief AI officer. TD used Layer 6′s AI engine for dozens of applications, such as predicting when customers might buy homes and detecting fraudulent insurance claims.

He studied neural networks and wrote his master’s thesis on cryptocurrency – in the 1990s. “I was always ahead of my time,” he said. Other investors include Prof. Hinton, former Rogers Communications Inc. chief executive officer Nadir Mohamed, and venture capital firm Radical Ventures, where Mr. Poutanen serves as partner alongside Layer 6 co-founder Jordan Jacobs.

“This is a landmark step for Canadian health care,” said Unity CEO Tim Rutledge. “It’s a first partnership that will result in scaling up health care innovation that can make a difference globally. It’s not our core business [selling technology] so we really need partners like Tomi to come in and help.”
