Ada Lovelace Computational Health Lecture Series

How to Use Medical AI, Biomedical Informatics and Data Science for Health Equity

Ada Lovelace Computational Health Lecture Series

Date: Monday, October 23, 2023 Time: 2:00 - 3:00 PM ET

In this presentation, Dr. Ohno-Machado will discuss the rapidly evolving field of Medical AI as a subspecialty of Biomedical Informatics & Data Science. She will provide an overview of how some AI models work, as well as the main technical, social, and ethical challenges facing the current and future generation of informaticians and data scientists. She will describe predictive modeling at a high level and how its use in precision medicine requires in-depth understanding of model appropriateness and limitations. Since AI models are only good as the data they are trained on, she will discuss how to promote health equity with these models and how to avoid common pitfalls.
