PHIND Seminar Series - Nigam H. Shah, MBBS, PhD

While there are multiple challenges in the clinical use of ML models, imagine how a patient's experience would change if we could predict risks of specific events and take proactive action. In this talk, we will review Stanford Medicin's Program for Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare, with the mission of bringing AI technologies to the clinic, safely, ethically, and in a cost-effective manner. Using our experience in deploying a prediction model to improve access to palliative care services, we will discuss potential solutions to issues relating to model correctness, interpretability, fairness, and equity as well as issues such as the autonomy of decision making and fiduciary responsibility.
