In this deep dive, we will address common social and technical challenges faced by health systems in evaluating and implementing machine learning based clinical workflows within electronic health records. We will discuss social issues related to governance, selection and evaluation of models, vendor vs. researcher-based models, and regulatory questions. On the technical side, we will discuss issues related to database structures, technical standards, vendor-specific model formats, application programming interfaces, and model monitoring. We will end with a guide on how to get started presented from a health systems perspective, with concrete examples drawing from our experience in sepsis and clinical deterioration.

Dean of Engineering and Monte Ahuja Endowed Dean’s Chair, The Ohio State University

With the recent advances in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI), early intervention protocols using robots is now ideally positioned to make an impact in the pediatric healthcare domain. There are numerous challenges though that still must be addressed to enable successful interaction between patients, clinicians, and robots—developing interfaces for clinicians to communicate with their AI counterparts; developing learning methods to endow robots with the ability to playfully interact with the child; and ensuring that the system can provide feedback to the parent and clinician in a trustworthy manner. In this presentation, I will discuss the role of human-centered design for the practical deployment of AI, with an emphasis on pediatric robotics that can enable a healthier, less stressful quality of life, now and in the future.

OPENING KEYNOTE — The Emergence of General AI for Medicine

El Yunque Ballroom

Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Research & Incubations

Large language models, such as GPT-3.5 and later more powerful ones, have emerged as powerful new tools for information work, particularly when coupled with chat interfaces as in ChatGPT. These systems are demonstrating impressive capabilities across many domains, and they have the potential to improve health-care delivery and accelerate medical science. In this talk, we will present the results of our intensive year-long study exploring the benefits and risks of applying these systems in medicine. Our findings indicate that these systems may be the most significant technological advance in health care and medicine to date, despite receiving no specialized training in the field. We will showcase examples of how general AI can be used in health care and medicine, and then discuss the implications for the future as these systems continue to evolve, becoming increasingly more intelligent and capable.

2:05–2:45 PM

In close collaboration with the Greek government, my co-authors and I deployed a novel reinforcement learning algorithm to allocate a limited number of COVID-19 tests to travelers visiting Greece, with the goal of identifying infected travelers to safeguard public health. Our algorithm processed millions of travelers in 2020 and identified nearly twice as many infections as commonly-employed random testing.

Ann Mwangi and Joseph Hogan will describe development, application, and implementation of machine learning algorithms for improving patient care in a large HIV care program in western Kenya. A key feature of this project is deep collaboration between statisticians (develop the algorithms), behavioral scientists (assess usability among end users), clinicians (prioritize endpoints), and informatics experts (implementation in an EHR). Implementation will be in OpenMRS, and the effectiveness of the ML-based decision support system will be evaluated using a randomized trial of 30 clinics serving around 150,000 patients.
