AI in the system – challenges of using machine learning in large-scale day-to-day public health practice

Jordi Piera-Jimenez will draw on examples from general health systems to show how advanced data analytics and predictive modelling using AI can be applied to support workers from the system level in areas such as diagnostics, treatment decisions and scheduling. 

He will highlight current work in Catalonia to develop comorbidity indices and risk stratification protocols to support health systems, and mention some of the inherent risks and challenges; finally draw parallels and implications for more specific addiction fields.
