“Small Data – Big Problems: Some Learnings from AI’s Potential Role in Diagnosis and Clinical Decisions“
19 February 2025
Abstract
AI and Machine Learning can potentially help making important discoveries in health-care, particularly in clinical decision support. However, datasets are small, not very clean and very heterogenous, making AI/ML approaches challenging to develop and apply. But the problems facing Health-care providers (HCPs) are big, as the decisions in many cases can result in adverse outcomes. For example, a decision as simple as whether to intubate or extubate a patient from mechanical ventilation can be (potentially) be improved by AI approaches.
This talk will present preliminary lessons from ongoing research in applying AI and underlying challenges in various lung diseases, potential therapies and treatments.
