A new study shows how training deep-learning models on patient outcomes could help reveal gaps in existing medical knowledge. In the last few years, research has shown that deep learning can match expert-level performance in medical imaging tasks like early cancer detection and eye disease diagnosis. But there’s also cause for caution. Other research has shown that deep learning has a tendency to perpetuate discrimination. With a health-care system already riddled with disparities, sloppy applications of deep learning could make that worse. Now a new paper published in Nature Medicine is proposing a way to develop medical algorithms that might help reverse, rather than exacerbate, existing inequality. The key, says Ziad Obermeyer, an associate professor at UC Berkeley who oversaw the research, is to stop training algorithms to match human expert performance. The paper looks at a specific clinical example of the disparities that exist in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, an ailment which causes chronic pain.

Healthcare space is filling up fast with revolutionary technologies. Growing healthcare challenges, from the rise in chronic diseases to the ageing global population, limit the capabilities of hospitals, medical practitioners, and service providers to deliver quality healthcare services in order to improve patient outcomes. These challenges have led them to the doors of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics. Among these, IoT has gained maximum attention of healthcare service providers. According to a report by Aruba Networks, a Hewlett Packard Enterprises subsidiary, the healthcare industry is the third most advanced in IoT implementation. Understanding the Role of IoT in Healthcare Ecosystem Healthcare challenges have created new requirements for healthcare providers to successfully deliver high quality healthcare services. IoT with its set of benefits such as enabling real-time monitoring, providing a more mature and effective solution to collect patient data, and tracking

It is that time of the year when tech enthusiasts keep their eye on announcements that come straight from Google headquarters after every Google I/O event. Just like every year, this year’s affair was glorious, impressive, tech-centered, and everything in between. Google keeps some announcement as a surprise every year that steals the show from every other remark made in the event. And this year’s surprise element was to give more weightage to Kotlin programming language for coding Android applications. Being said that it is nothing like Java is going to end anytime soon. But yes, Kotlin will be an important figure in Android application development circles after Google’s official announcement. With this announcement, it is clear that the search giant is going to prioritize Kotlin when introducing new features for Android developers. After Google has favored Kotlin as the preferred language for Android app development, the language has an

A simple Google search for software development lifecycle can flood you with basic information with varying degrees of emphasis on 7 phases that complete the entire SDLC process. First, the information provided is extremely general in nature and just mean to provide an overview of software development life cycle (SDLC), and second that although the SDLC process is similar, each software development company set different metrics for various SDLC phases and that actually makes all the difference. With this post on SDLC life cycle phases, we aim to introduce you to a system that if followed diligently will result in software applications that meet your expectations. To deep dive into the software development lifecycle, it is essential for you to begin with understanding SDLC phases from the very beginning which ideally starts with the question: What is Software Development Life Cycle? SDLC or Software Development Life Cycle is a process
