ACT I

The need for Universal Screening

  • Often the problem is not that diseases cannot be diagnosed by physicians, but one of missed or late diagnoses in the primary care workflow

Takes too long,

not supported by insurance,

"gut feeling" / "wait & see" common

  • Universal screening for many diseases are non-existant

Is AI/ML  adding anything of  relevance?

Ethics:

  • Risk from Imaging Tests

For every 20-30 flags,

1 is positive

  • General likelihood ratio 60-80
  • PPV 3.5-5%
  • Notifying patients 4 years early?
  • No cure, why screen

acceptable?

Better outcomes

  • early anti-fibrotic therapy seems increasingly promising
  • better shot at lung transplant
  • early dx reduces  hospital-izations by a factor of 1-3

How do we measure "distance" between strains?

E-distance

a biologically informed, adaptive distance between strains

\theta(x,y) \triangleq \\ \mathbf{E}_i \left ( \mathbb{J}^{\frac{1}{2}} \left (\Phi_i^P(x_{-i}) , \Phi_i^Q(y_{-i})\right ) \right )

This distance is "special"

smaller distances imply a quatitatively high probability of spontaneous jump

  • Use AI to transform  the landscape of early disease diagnosis, prevention, and treatment strategies for complex medical conditions.

  • Realize universal primary care low-burden screening for disorders for which potentially no recommended screening tools exist currently

  • Generalize beyond known “risk factors”, uncover personalized predictors of future risk of serious diseases from subtle comorbidity signatures

Learning Objectives

What is AI/Machine Learning? What are the key application in the context of medicine?  What does it bring to the table in the context of Health Services and Bio-medicine? Are there new questions that we can answer?  Does it suffice to draw on off-the-shelf models? What are the new/emerging ideas?

  • Application of AI in Biomedicine: Why We Need a “Bio”-AI.

  • Emerging tools for addressing Late and Missed Diagnosis in Primary Care

  • Why “risk factors” are often not predictive enough, and how to think about more personalized predictors of future risk of serious diseases
