- | Consider the case of Vera, a 60 year old woman of Asian descent with a history of hypertension and asthma, entering the doctor's office with symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of pneumonia. Her primary care physician must diagnose and treat the acute illness, but also manage risk for chronic diseases such as heart attack, stroke, renal failure, and osteoporosis. Ideally, treatment decisions for Vera are guided by risk stratification to decide if to treat, and evidence based selection of how to treat. Although there is research devoted to [[: | + | |

- | Imagine how Vera’s experience would change if we could predict risks of specific events and take proactive action. | + | |

- | We are working on a set of efforts, which are collectively referred to as the Stanford Medicine Program for Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare, with the mission of bringing AI technologies to the clinic, safely, cost-effectively and ethically. {{ :: | + | |
- | - Training: We pair informatics experts with clinician domain experts who provide guidance on the clinical workflow, and input on “what would they do differently” if they had a prediction in hand. | + | |
- | - Human in the loop implementations: | + | |
- | - Utility assessment: Clinical utility of making a prediction, and taking actions depends on factors beyond model accuracy, such as lead time offered by the prediction, the existence of a mitigating action, the cost and ease of intervening, | + | |
- | - Safety, ethics, and health system effects: We map the multiple groups involved in executing a prediction-action loop and study their varying perspectives, | + | |
- | + | ||
- | If done right, the adoption of efficacious prediction-action loops can massively improve the ability of a health system to find patients at risk and act early. As part of this effort, we search for clinical situations where the application of risk-stratification and proactive action can provide cost-effective, | + | |
