AI-Augmented Diagnostics: Where Are We Actually Saving Lives? [Keynote]

Everyone wants to bring AI into clinical diagnostics but the real challenge is choosing the right problem, not just building the model. In this talk, I’ll share a simple framework to evaluate where diagnostic AI truly makes an impact. We’ll focus on four questions:

  • Is the clinical problem meaningful?
  • Is the data ready?
  • Will it fit naturally into clinician workflows?
  • Can it improve real patient outcomes — not just model accuracy?

Using examples from radiology, pathology, and critical care, we’ll see how this lens helps separate high-impact opportunities from ideas that sound exciting but rarely deliver.
