In 2021, Ellumen’s AI experts were busy creating a multi-part blog series and podcast, the AI Innovation Space. These focus on the practical applications of artificial intelligence/machine learning in healthcare and the innovation occurring in the field of AI/ML around the world. Iyanu Odebode, PH.D and Todd McCollough – whose backgrounds include patented microwave imaging technology and groundbreaking developments in algorithms for healthcare – bring a nuanced and wide-ranging perspective to how AI can be applied to better patient care. Their blog series focuses on AI for medical imaging and the practical applications of AI-assisted technology in a wide range of sectors. The first season of their podcast, the AI Innovation Space, features industry leaders’ perspectives on ethical tech and how the ever-evolving landscape of AI research and innovation is bettering the world.
The Future of Healthcare Lies in AI/ML
Ellumen has an extensive background in medical imaging and medical logistics, and our experts specialize in how AI/ML algorithms make processes faster in hospitals. The current pandemic has further exposed the need for more streamlined patient care – and these blogs and podcasts outline how AI can help doctors make timely, informed decisions. Our experts also delve into the murky ethics of solely relying on AI/ML in the emergency room and beyond, offering insight into how this technology is a tool and not a crutch.
Our experts sat down with Dr. Vandana Janeja, Professor and Chair of the Information Systems department at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Dr. Janeja heads the MData Lab at UMC and shares her insights on how AI research is placing ethics, equity and human input front and center. Our experts go in depth on the importance of heterogeneity in AI research and the ethical use of AI in the emergency room for effective treatment. In Part 2, they discuss AI’s role in healthcare, specifically during the COVID-19 crisis, and the future of AI research and education. Dr. Janeja gives her valuable advice for those seeking to learn and research AI.
