In 2020, Taig began researching the use of Artificial Intelligence in the field of medicine. This lead him to co-create Legit.Health, a medical device for healthcare practitioners that measures the severity of conditions, performs differential diagnosis and detects the suspicion of malignancy, looking at ordinary photographs taken with regular smartphones.

Early days
Taig Mac Carthy is a serial entrepreneur, writer, and musician born in 1990 in the Basque Country. He created his first successful startup at age 23, a service for young people to get their driver's license in an affordable and fast way in the city of Granada (Andalusia) during the summer holidays.
During that period, he also created a non-profit with the goal of sharing the artistic talent of kids with disabilities in the city of San Sebastian.
While studying in university, Taig created a startup that in three years became the fastest-growing winery of the century thanks to the wave of media coverage. This startup-winery is the creator of the most innovative and disruptive wines, of which Taig and his co-founders have sold more than 3 million bottles across 17 countries.
During this time, Taig also created the Hola Plate, a patented non-invasive weight management aid that helps people control their weight by absorbing the grease in their food.
The company got acquired in early 2019, allowing Taig to focus on more technological innovations.
