Revolutionizing Healthcare
AutoPrognosis: Using the next generation of ML tools
24 October 2022, saw the twentieth virtual Revolutionizing Healthcare engagement sessions of the van der Schaar Lab and its audience of practising clinicians. A jubilee that, indeed, had something big on offer: our reveal of AutoPrognosis 2.0!
This was the first of a double-header about our journey to democratise diagnostic and prognostic modelling in healthcare using automated and interpretable machine learning. The second session will take place on 21 November. If you are a practising clinician, you can sign up for our upcoming session here.
If you didn’t manage to join us for the session, you can now watch the archived video, available on YouTube:
At the beginning of the session, Mihaela presented AutoPrognosis 2.0 to an international panel of clinical experts who discussed opportunities and impacts of the tool. This was followed by Dr Eoin McKinney, MD, who gave the clinical perspective on the impact of AutoPrognosis. Then, we had a look at an intriguing case study together with Dr Thomas Callender, MSc MRCP, Wellcome Trust Clinical Training Fellow and Public Health Physician at UCL who has used a version of our tool already.
Finally, we had a round table discussion with experts from the field to explore the opportunities and advances our tool offers for clinicians. Our guests were:
- Prof Donald E. Ingber, MD, PhD (Founding Director, Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University; Judah Folkman Professor of Vascular Biology, Harvard Medical School & Vascular Biology Program, Boston Children’s Hospital; Hansjörg Wyss Professor of Bioinspired Engineering, Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences)
- Prof Suetonia Palmer, MB ChB, PhD, FRACP (Professor of Medicine, University of Otago, New Zealand; Deputy Dean, University of Otago, Christchurch; Renal Physician, Christchurch Hospital, New Zealand)
