AI-enabled Healthcare Systems CDT Seminar - Hitachi

Join us on 6th August, 12.00-13.15 as we welcome Mustafa Ghafouri (Data Scientist, Hitachi) and Adrian Conduit (Director, Hitachi) speak about the practical challenges in operationalising data science models to improve flow, coordination and care in Hospitals.

Abstract 
Few technological innovations are expected to impact our lives in the next twenty years as AI is.  Healthcare is often cited as a prominent field ready for disruption by new AI based technologies. However, the realities of implementing AI based solutions in healthcare to produce value have bought about new challenges that require new ways of working for all those looking to develop AI solutions. These practical challenges are often underestimated and require collaboration from all professionals working in the Healthcare Data Science space from Data Engineers, to Epidemiologists, Medical Doctors, SME’s and Enterprise Architects. We will explore some of these challenges in operationalising data science models practically to produce value in Hospitals.
