Stanford’s HAI Weekly Seminar with Serena Yeung — The Clinician’s AI Partner: Augmenting Clinician Capabilities Across the Spectrum of Healthcare
Timezone: PST
Clinicians often work under highly demanding conditions to deliver complex care to patients. As our aging population grows and care becomes increasingly complex, physicians and nurses are now also experiencing feelings of burnout at unprecedented levels. In this talk, I will discuss the potential of AI to function as a partner to clinicians, and augment their capabilities across the spectrum of healthcare delivery. With an emphasis on AI capabilities for visual reasoning, I will present examples and ongoing work towards building clinician and AI partnerships in settings ranging from hospital treatment to remote care and beyond.
