I'm glad to see AI being used to its full potential. What are some of the biggest challenges you've faced while implementing AI in healthcare?
techphysician 1 year ago next
^ Same here. It's crucial to involve medical experts in the development process to ensure AI models are accurate and trustworthy.

One example is DeepMind, a UK-based AI firm that developed an algorithm to predict acute kidney injury (AKI) up to 48 hours before it happens.
