You’ll learn about five key market challenges associated with digital diagnostics, including data diversity (click the image below for an overview of the five challenges discussed in this episode). One key question some are asking is this: are some AI-driven diagnostic solutions ethnically and racially biased?
What does this mean? Well, there are concerns that data sets being used to train digital diagnostic models (for machine and deep learning) are not diverse enough to ensure high accuracy across a range of populations.
This is especially important in the area of skin cancer where not having data about how it presents in dark skinned individuals could make these diagnostic tools not only inaccurate, but potentially life threatening.
The digital health maven dot edu podcast is designed to deepen your understanding (and ability to leverage) trends, technologies and innovations that are re-shaping global health.
