Better Medicine Through Machine Learning | Suchi Saria | TEDxBoston

Faster medical treatment saves lives. Machine Learning is already saving lives, by scouring a multitude of patients’ data and comparing them to one patient’s health data to detect symptoms 12 to 24 hours sooner than a doctor could. "In many pressing medical problems, the answers to knowing whom to treat, when to treat, and what to treat with, might already be in your data" says Suchi Saria. Learn how TREWS (Targeted Real-time Early Warning Score) is leading the way to save lives.
Suchi Saria is a professor of computer science and health policy, and director of the Machine Learning and Health Lab at Johns Hopkins University. Her research is focused on designing data solutions for providing individualized care.

    Machine Learning: Start with linear regression (did it in school) where you try to find a line that fits data. y=mx+c, where you are trying to find the values of m and c. Once you find a line that fits well, you can use it to predict y for a given x. Machine learning is the same basic principle (assuming you use neural networks). A neural network is just an n-dimensional polynomial (n can be billions), and you are tweaking the coefficients of this polynomial until it fits your data well The process of tweaking the parameters with sample data is called 'learning'. So, in essence you are just doing a curve-fit. The problem is, reality cannot always be modeled by a curve (or n-dimensional plane). So all AI hits a wall. There will never be a Fully Self Driving car (ask Elon to lie in front of his Tesla while I set it off on auto pilot, see if he agrees), nor will there ever be a Fully Automated Diagnostic robot (or whatever this woman is peddling). Why? Because the underlying neural network can only model a subset of reality (the subset that can be modeled by n-dimensional curves). Investors, with freshly printed cash from the Fed, splurged on all things AI. Watch them die as Fed stops printing money.

    I am a software engineer. AI/Machine Learning is glorified curve-fitting. You probably did linear regression in school, finding the best line to fit your data in a two dimensional plot. Neural networks are simply an extension of this, into n dimensions, resulting in curve (we cannot visualize higher than 3, so we cannot draw it). Just like in your linear regression, if the data is well-behaved (already linear) you get a good fit, and can use the line to predict values, so neural networks can work very well if the n-dimensional polynomial is indeed representative of the data. But if you have an outlier, no amount training will ever get your line to touch that point. So it is with neural networks. It can never model reality, because reality cannot be represented by an n-dimensional surface. So we will never have self-driving cars, or diagnostics by computers. Obama got donations from Silicon Valley and diverted lots of money to 'e-health'. Boston was a cheer leader. They have given a long time ago. We have no idea how animal brains work, so it is naive to claim we can replicate it. As for the state of medicine... my siblings are all MDs in USA. The state of medicine is pathetic because most of the money goes to non-doctors. Meanwhile, doctors are doing fine but there are good doctors and bad doctors. Not much we can do about that.

Available data + processing power of AI/ML can exponentially provide new insights and improve healthcare. Loved the juxtaposition between big and and small data. Never thought of it like that!

    Partial replacement only. Unlike robots, where you can take the risk of them falling, no one can risk a patient from the alert mind of a physician. If we talk of a country like India, there are many socio-economic & cultural factors too that influence treatment decisions. Tailoring treatment to each individual patient is not expected to be within the reach of artificial "intelligence".

    The TREWScore showed a sensitivity of 85% and specificity of 67%. It means it misses 15% sick people and treat 33% who does not need to be treated. A routine screening protocol that doctors in USA used have sensitivity of 74% at a comparable specificity of 64%. Perhaps, we need to collect different parameters.

    I think This comment is the most relevant and professional to the TREWS performance. It shows TREWS is slightly better than human physicians. The only question is whether TREWS performance is able to be reproducible ubiquitously to any other data sets. If not, it is purely resulted from data cleaning or manipulation.

    Holistic medicines are usually untested, very little data is available regarding their efficacy in treatment of specific symptoms. While it may work for some people, it is not something that can reliably be called 'medicine' , as we use the term now. Many of the drugs are infact active substances isolated from plants, based on the 'remedies' and then studied further in controlled conditions, regarding their effects on human physiology. The reason why 'natural' remedies is discounted is because unless it is studied further in controlled conditions, (like recently curcumin, found in turmeric, has been shown to be beneficial as an anti-inflammatory agent, and turmeric is an integral part of Ayurvedic medicine and everyday ingredient for Indian food), It cannot be touted as a remedy by healthcare professionals who are liable for the advice they impart and the consequences of their advice. There is much to be discovered. We have barely scratched the surface. Its not even a game of validation of previous myths. We need to study and understand what is truly beneficial and what is purely placebo.

    It is frustrating that Ms. Saria doesn't identify the source of Ms. Manning's sepsis. Was it the sore on her foot? Did she have an asymptomatic sepsis before she showed up at the clinic complaining of a sore foot? Or was it a hospital acquired pneumonia? If it was the latter, perhaps reliance on technology is the villain here, not the solution. Maybe just a little plain wisdom would have convinced doctors to discharge Ms. Manning from the hospital before she spent the night in this notoriously dangerous vector for bacterial pneumonia.
