For Episode 9 we interviewed doctor Bart-Jan Verhoeff, who's a nephrologist, a medical doctor specialized in kidney diseases. He works at the St. Jansdal Hospital in Harderwijk, the Netherlands, where he’s also CMIO or Chief Medical Information Officer. He’s also known as dokter.ai, from the blog carrying the same name.
