This session will provide a clear understanding of key Machine Learning (ML) concepts, methods and techniques by showcasing applications for supporting clinical practice, clinical research and healthcare service delivery.
Using these case studies, we
will explore design considerations according to application context (e.g.
diagnosis and treatment selection), we will discuss how to approach the
implementation of suitable ML methods (e.g. decision trees and neural
networks), and finally we will study appropriate application evaluation
strategies.
Speaker:
Dionisio Acosta-Mena (BSc, PhD), taught the Machine Learning in Healthcare and Biomedicine module in the Health Data Science Programme, Institute of Health Informatics, University College London. He has worked in several large scale projects looking into harnessing EHR data for clinical practice and research, most notably the EU-IMI EHR4CR project. His most recent publication explore data-driven temporal variability methods for automatic EHR data quality. He has expert knowledge and hands on experience in the design, implementation and evaluation of systems using artificial intelligence and machine learning methods to improve healthcare outcomes in areas such as breast cancer and brain tumours.
Currently he is a Senior Data Scientist at Cegedim RX, where he leads data science methodological and technical aspects of using the Cegedim THIN dataset.
We are very grateful to Dionisio and the team at Cegedim for sharing their time and expertise for the benefit of BHBIA members.
