Nick MaxfieldThe van der Schaar Lab’s seventh Revolutionizing Healthcare engagement session for the clinical community took place virtually on April 27, 2021.
This session was the second roundtable in a double-header focusing on interpretability in ML/AI for healthcare. Following a quick introduction by Mihaela van der Schaar, a panel of four clinicians and the audience of clinicians discussed a range of complex issues surrounding interpretability, including whether or not current expectations among the clinical community are realistic.
Our panel for this session consisted of:
- Alexander Gimson, MD FRCP (Consultant transplant hepatologist, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust)
- Prof Henk van Weert, MD PhD (Professor, general practice, Amsterdam UMC; Research programs in oncology and cardiovascular diseases)
- Martin Cadeiras, MD (Associate professor, medical director, heart failure, heart transplantation and mechanical circulatory support, University of California, Davis)
- Maxime Cannesson, MD PhD (Chair, Department of Anesthesiology & Perioperative Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles)
The next roundtable in the Revolutionizing Healthcare series will be held on May 27, and will focus on personalized therapeutics/individualized treatment effect inference. Details can be found here.
