My 1st #AI-guided echocardiography today (fun & by democratizing acquisition it will change the field)
What does that mean?
You put the transducer on the patient's chest ->the AI tells you how to properly position it and then automatically captures video images when spot on.
Another view I obtained (short-axis) letting the #AI guide me w/ the probe position and auto-loop capture the image.
Algorithms by @CaptionHealth (I have no COI or relationship)
Software in development for interpretation and for the rest of the body's organs (except the brain😉)
@CaptionHealth + some solid #AI work on echo interpretation just published a few days ago @Nature_NPJ Digital Medicine #openaccess

@CaptionHealth @Nature_NPJ @GhorbaniAmirata @abidlabs @bryandhe @jonc101x @HeartBobH @euanashley @David_Ouyang @james_y_zou @StanfordMed @StanfordDeptMed The #AI-guided @CaptionHealth echocardiography acquisition just got @US_FDA clearance today!
“Today’s...authorization enables medical professionals who may not be experts in ultrasonography... to use this tool."

What is the longer term impact of #AI-algorithms that guide non-expert (uninitiated) humans to acquire ultrasound images?
1. Yesterday the @US_FDA approved the 1st system to do this for heart images (echocardiography)
statnews.com/2020/02/07/fda… @statnews by @matthewherper
@US_FDA @statnews @matthewherper 2. I used this system last month. Software directs the person imaging to the optimum spot for high-quality images and once there automatically records. Example loop:
@US_FDA @statnews @matthewherper 3. Such imaging can ultimately be done anywhere and by anyone, using smartphone-ultrasound as shown here, exemplifying a way that #AI can reduce global health inequalities.
Remote expert interpretation is now possible and eventually cloud-based algorithmic support will kick in.

There have only been 5 randomized clinical trials of #AI in medicine to date. Here's the summary:
4 in gastroenterology (2 @LancetGastroHep, 2 @Gut_BMJ)
1 in ophthalmology (@EClinicalMed)
All were conducted in China
(None in radiology, pathology, dermatology or other specialties)
@LancetGastroHep @Gut_BMJ @EClinicalMed What constitutes suitable evidence for clinical implementation (and surveillance after) for #AI in #healthcare?
Here's @d_spiegel's take:
hdsr.mitpress.mit.edu/pub/56lnenzj @pubpub @harvard_data
@LancetGastroHep @Gut_BMJ @EClinicalMed While there are now hundreds of in silico, retrospective dataset reports, the number of prospective (non-randomized) trials in a real clinical environment testing #AI performance is limited. I only know of 11. Let me know if I'm missing any.

My #CSPC2019 live tweeting #THREAD starts here!

I'll reply to this tweet w/ each panel I attend, creating a thread under each w/ live notes

My schedule: 🔗cspc2019.sched.com/shawnmcguirk

And, ICYMI, see the new CSPC magazine for my op-ed about @DSP_SPE & #CapacityBuilding in #scipol!
I wasn't intending on tweeting the symposium, but 2 really good points on skills:

🔹 For communications, the ability to be brief (tweet length summaries!) is key

🔹 Universities should promote organic mentorship by leveraging alumni office, get alums to meet students over ☕!
🔹 Skills development has strong socio-economic dimension. Accessibility to good schooling even as early as Kindergarten can have large impacts later in life. The foundation of transferable (read: critical) skills stays with you as you later develop expertise.

Today San Francisco banned facial recognition technology. It will not be allowed to be used by local agencies, like the transport authority, or law enforcement.

Britain needs a serious debate about #AI #tech #humanrights #discrimination. Instead, we’re still talking Brexit.
Here’s a piece on that ban: San Francisco is first US city to ban facial recognition #AI #tech #humanrights #discrimination bbc.com/news/technolog…
Meanwhile @geoffwhite247 reports on 3 missed opportunities to assess the dangers of BAME people being falsely identified & facing questioning because police have failed to test how well their systems deal with non-white faces. #AI #discrimination bbc.com/news/technolog…

#Q on an #Anon's question re: #Whitaker.
Yes, in 2681, #Q drops that he's 2stay on, however, no mention is made of 4how long, nor what shuffle he may engage in.
It may be a move 2give #D's a feeling they have won.
2) #QAnon No. 2955 cont. ...
Think #Nadler & the #HouseJudiciaryCommittee looking 2recall #Whitaker 4clarifications re: his testimony. They may now feel no need w/him gone.
Link 2 #POLITICO ==> Whitaker 2stay at Justice Department following stint as #AAG

3) #QAnon drop No. 2956...
In response 2an #Anon's statements, #Q says that #Whitaker's departure doesn't imply he's no longer on the team. This is more #PoliticalTheatre in the #QMovieAnalogy/ies...
