3. Health analytics harnesses data
science to improve decision-
making.
• EHR improves patient safety
and outcomes
• Machine learning greatly
reduces misdiagnosis
• Robotics improves the
precision of micro-surgery
• Algorithms can significantly
reduce fraud

What do we mean by
Artificial
Intelligence?
5. Being Human
What does it mean to be human?
• Autonomy: our capacity to make informed decisions
• Agency: the capacity to act independently
• Empathy - the capability to understand and to relate
• Ethics – shared values to differentiate right from wrong
• Intelligence - our ability to acquire and apply knowledge
Well-being
How will health
analytics condition how
the medical profession
defines well-being?

7. • AI will move the goal posts of the medical profession
• Descriptive and prescriptive analytics are growing
exponentially
• We now leverage AI diagnoses without having to bear
the costs and time constraints
• The time to study the model, the code, nor the training
data
• New definitions of “well-being”, “confidentiality”,
“truthfulness” and “trust”

Game Changer
To what extent does the
medical profession need
to understand how AI
changes medical
practice?
8. Implicit Bias
• Algorithms learn by processing past
experience
• The importance of profiling and
classification
• These profiles reflect several human
biases
• Bias in the data, in AI, in teaching AI
human rules, in evaluating cases
Who will be ultimately
held responsible for
the implicit bias of
artificial intelligence?
Medium
9. • AI doesn’t fuel innovation
• AI learns from variables that can be
empirically measured
• AI can’t explore all the possible
features
• AI at best mimics rational intellilgence
Innovation
Which types of
intelligence will be vital
to future innovation in
healthcare?

10. • Value in improving medical imagery, targeting
treatment plans, and accelerating the development
of new pharmaceuticals.
• Can we bank on methodologies we don’t
understand?
• Does reinforced learning make us prisoners of the
past?
• Do we understand that the inherent logic of these
platforms can be gamed?
In Sum
“Artificial
Intelligence
alone poorly
illuminates the
future of health
analytics.”
