Join Professor Julia Adler-Milstein, expert in health IT policy and digital transformation, as she explores the critical questions that could bridge the gap between AI’s potential and its everyday application in clinical settings.
This talk will describe an emerging AI delivery science and make the case for five questions of high significance that have not yet achieved broad awareness, in terms of their importance in closing the gap between AI capabilities and routine use in clinical settings.]
This event is part of the Making Digital Health REAL! seminar, a series focused on enhancing practical learnings in digital health and informatics, hosted by the Centre for Digital Transformation of Health at The University of Melbourne.
