Machine Learning in Healthcare: Practical Insights

As a sociologist with a focus on medical sociology, I’ve explored the interactions between social factors and health. This expertise highlights the importance of understanding diverse patient needs in healthcare.

Why Machine Learning in Healthcare Matters

Machine learning (ML) in healthcare can lead to high stakes outcomes, such as life or death situations. Unlike minor inconveniences like late deliveries, errors in healthcare ML models can result in significant consequences for patients.

United Healthcare AI Scandal: A Cautionary Tale

United Healthcare’s use of ML prioritized cost savings over patient care, leading to patients being discharged prematurely. This misuse of AI in decision-making emphasizes the need for ethical considerations in healthcare.

Applying Machine Learning Responsibly

When developing ML models, it’s crucial to consider the impact of potential errors, such as false positives and negatives. The goal should always be to enhance patient care, not to cut costs at the expense of health outcomes.
