The Granta Innovation team regularly showcase our vision of practical applications of AI. Artificial intelligence and machine learning can improve accuracy, cut costs and create new opportunities across business, industry and healthcare. This page lists meetings we’re attending or presenting.
Events
29-30 July 2020 – Invited presentations at AiPBAND 2020 conference
Closed event providing training in AI applications in medicine, and regulatory and ethical challenges, to early-stage researchers undertaking pioneering work on the development of early diagnostics for brain cancers. AiPBAND project
14 Jan 2020 – Joint Deep Cambridge & PDOC event – The Potential of Machine Learning in Medicine
A survey of exciting areas of application of ML in healthcare and medicine, from statistics to the latest deep learning techniques.
This talk will include case studies, pitfalls, ethics, and discuss current and emerging opportunities.
26 November 2019 – Ethics and regulation for medical devices: making AI and software good for clinical use
Whatever your background, if you’re developing a system, software or device for healthcare, you must do it in a good way. There is always a risk of creating a system that is artificially stupid, compounded by the limited experience each of us brings from our own discipline, whether engineering, software, data science, biomedical or clinical. Taking the right steps helps minimise this risk.
We will look at the ethics of software medical devices, highlighting how this complements privacy, research ethics, medical device regulation, and good practice (GxP). The talk will present case studies where developers and clinicians went wrong, and are making potentially dangerous mistakes today, through examples from digital health and artificial intelligence. These will illustrate a framework that is widely applicable.
As a bonus, we will also have a short discussion of MDCG 2019-11, a recently issued and critical new guidance documentation on software under the EU Medical Devices Regulation (MDR).
