Quotes  

• “The onset of digital health was the need to collect all the patient information and then make it available at the point of care.”
• “From a mindset standpoint, we have moved from that data-intensive digital health to more knowledge-and-services-oriented digital health.”
• “I think [the target] is: how can we actually use decision support to impact the operationalization of healthcare services?”
• “The entire reason for Explainable AI is to build trust, and once we build the trust, then the uptake of that decision model will actually be high. Otherwise, it will be used on and off, and there will always be ‘can I have a second opinion?’”
• “Biases come at two different levels, which we need to understand: Is it an ethical bias, or is it a bias that would affect the performance of the model?”
• “There are two sides of research: one is fundamental research, and one is applied research. And it is the fundamental research that is supported by these collaborations, because that is where we are asking the hard questions.”
• “One cannot discount the utility and applicability of artificial intelligence in health. It comes from all sides.”
