Ashwini Kalantri @_mgims speaks on #ArtificialIntelligence applications in #publichealth, including in #TB and #outbreaks prediction
@spkalantri

Ashwini asks:
Can we #Trust the #data?—the public health system data hungry monster—from ANMs, ASHA, PHC doctors etc. feed in data on a regular basis – but why is this tirelessly working health system not able to deal with India’s public health programs then
#AI #healthcare

Radhika Ramkrishnan (chair of session) asks if we are venturing into technology determinism
All Indian policy narratives—AI for social good!We experts(doctors/engineers) should be the ones evolving the problems—are the bodies of the poor /under-served populations testing grounds?

Are the bodies of the poor /under-served populations testing grounds?- for even testing and learning AI algorithms? What is this technology replacing—why are enough doctors not sitting at PHCs?
#ArtificialIntelligence #healthcare

Are we moving towards a Technological state—the glamourization of technology—is it benefiting the target population? Our most under-served
#ArtificialIntelligence #healthcare

Does an #ArtificialIntelligence in #healthcare provider take up the liability as well. A participant asks—'who will the patient's attendants beat up when you have a mishap'?
Is there a much deeper liability from an ethics perspective, different from a legal perspective?

In the discussion, @amarjesani asks:
The ethics of care is important to deliberate in relation to #ArtificialIntelligence technologies in #healthcare ---is it a 'masculine' approach to just look for diseases…..rather than patients as human beings who need more comprehensive care

"Good data is important—but data users are also important to look at…..how do they use or manipulate it……who is doing that? Who is involved in that? Is this data available in the public domain? How long is the data kept--- norms of data management?" #AI #healthcare @amarjesani
