Hey ASA Connect,
The newest episode of the show is now out. Ufonia's CEO Dr. Nick de Pennington talks about the important role algorithms can play in handling mundane clinical tasks, thereby freeing clinicians to apply their expertise to the hardest cases.
Why should data scientists and statisticians watch this episode?
- Nick (a neurosurgeon in the Oxford University Hospital system) straddles both clinical expertise as well as hands-on experience developing algorithms.
- There's a lot of chatter about robots taking people's jobs. In this case, the goal is for voice recognition algorithms to handle the easiest check-up calls and freeing up clinicians to handle only the hardest cases.
- Nick discusses the clinical science of machine learning challenges, and how certain clinical tasks are sufficiently replicable that they are ideal for algorithmic handling.
- Nick spends a lot of time helping data scientists like ourselves bridge the clinical gap and get started in healthcare domains...so he's a friend of the profession!
