How Can AI Help with Earlier Detection of Disease?
Today’s guest is Dr. Jeremy Orr, CEO and Chief Medical Officer of Medial EarlySign, a company that hopes to create widespread AI and machine learning integration in diagnostics. Medial EarlySign aims to help their clients deliver better patient care by identifying individuals at risk of high burden disease who might benefit from the earlier detection of deterioration trajectories. They are leading the charge in augmenting healthcare providers and increasing automation in healthcare delivery. Dr. Orr joins us to discuss applying machine learning techniques to clinical data, how the success of their algorithms is measured, and the impediments they face in expanding AI adoption.
