🌐 The latest AI Act highlights the importance of addressing biases in AI models. In many discussions, whether with clients or during panels, the term "bias" is often used loosely, without a clear understanding of what it truly entails, aside from representing a specific population. 🩺 To identify effective examples of bias, we can look at current practices in medicine. This is explored in Usha Lee McFarling latest article on STAT News, which is part of a series called “Embedded Bias.” The article discusses how Black patients with low T cell counts are automatically classified as being in poor health, even though this count is normal for that population. 🔍 This bias in interpretation stems from a narrow perspective where medical standards are based on a Caucasian model. Addressing such biases is crucial for AI providers as they strive to build models that are more accurate, reliable, and fair. In this way, AI has the potential to correct decades of bias in traditional medicine, benefiting both patients and healthcare providers. https://lnkd.in/duy2c_49 #bias #healthcare #AI

Age is such a crude way to design screening programs. This study shows that using AI risk prediction algorithms to stratify screening cohorts may improve the cost-effectiveness of screening programs. Key quote: "Artificial intelligence–based risk-stratified programs were estimated to be cost-saving and increase quality-adjusted life-years compared with the current screening program. A screening schedule of every 6 years for lowest-risk individuals, biannually and triennially for those below and above average risk, respectively, and annually for those at highest risk was estimated to give yearly net monetary benefits within the NHS of approximately £60.4 (US $77.3) million and £85.3 (US $109.2) million."

Microsoft and Providence have taken a multimodal approach to solving current challenges NHS oncologists are facing... "As if the medical puzzle pieces weren’t challenging enough to fit together, basic logistical information may also be missing from patient records. It may be surprising, but identifying a patient’s oncologist or other specialists that have been involved isn’t necessarily straightforward. This kind of information should be readily organized in the patient record, but in reality it’s often fragmented or absent,” Dr. Leidner says... "AI, however, can summarize this information quickly. Most importantly, it doesn’t require information to be formatted – it can vacuum up lab results, doctors’ notes and digitized scans as they are. It also can figure out that two different terms refer to the same thing, because it can work with natural language." #cancerservices #azureplatform #azureai #assistedcare

This article emphasizes that AI can greatly improve cancer care, but it risks racial and gender biases due to biased training data. To create ethical AI, researchers must diversify data, address health inequities, and balance performance across all groups. AI in oncology must be carefully designed to avoid exacerbating disparities, and regulatory bodies should ensure AI tools are tested across representative populations. Collaboration between experts is key to making AI fairer for everyone. Mendel.ai is open to collaborating on studies to validate our technology and reduce physician/clinician burnout. https://lnkd.in/d_WtZ_FG #MendelAI #clinicalAI #AIinHealthcare #ethicalAI

Eight in 10 (81.4 percent) supported patient consent for AI model use during treatment decisions. In a scenario in which an AI decision model selected a different treatment regimen than the oncologist planned to recommend, most respondents said they would present both options and let the patient decide (36.8 percent), with those from academic settings more likely than those from other settings to let the patient decide (odds ratio, 2.56). Three-quarters of respondents (76.5 percent) agreed that oncologists should protect patients from biased AI tools, but only 27.9 percent were confident in their ability to identify poorly representative AI models.
