Computer vision and machine learning power medical diagnostics

/

Experts from Harvard Medical School, Facebook AI Research, Pearl, and LDV Capital discuss trends of computer vision and machine learning impact on medical diagnostics to revolutionize precision medicine.

Jayashree Kalpathy-Cramer, Researcher at Harvard Medical School & Massachusetts General Hospital, Kyle Stanley, Chief Clinical Officer at Pearl, and Nafissa Yakubova, a Visiting Researcher at Facebook AI Research, discussed how they are using computer vision and machine learning to revolutionize precision care. The conversation was moderated by Abigail Hunter-Syed, a Former Partner at LDV Capital. (Note: After five years with LDV Capital, Abby decided to leave LDV to take a corporate role with fewer responsibilities that will allow her to have more time to focus on her young kids during these crazy times.)
