It’s time to put that technology to work widely — in ways that prioritize conscientious protocols designed to prevent bias in data gathering and use in patient care, said Nigam Shah, MBBS, PhD, a Stanford Medicine professor of biomedical data science and of medicine.
As artificial intelligence changes the way medicine is practiced, humans become more beholden to algorithms — making it crucial to get those machine-human collaborations correct at the outset.
“Green Button” technology, which can quickly answer clinical questions—such as which drug is most effective for certain cancer patients—was developed by the Nigam Shah lab and led to raising $33M to scale AI-powered real-world evidence.
EchoNet, developed by the Zou Lab, is advanced image post-processing analysis software designed to aid diagnostic review, analysis, and reporting of echocardiographic DICOM images for cardiac function, and was just approved by the FDA. Congrats, team!
