Primary Care Week: Advancing Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Overview:

Advancing Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
for the Future of Primary Care and Population Health
Steven Lin, MD

Despite being the largest U.S. health care delivery platform, primary care is at risk of being left behind in the research, development, and implementation of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) applications. Although primary care accounts for 52% of all care delivered – more than all other specialties combined – only 3% of FDA approved AI/ML tools is intended for primary care, and less than 1% of AI/ML research funding goes to primary care. To ensure that the power, opportunity, and future of health care AI/ML are realized in the broadest scale, AI/ML developers must pay more attention to primary care, and primary care leaders must do more to engage in AI/ML research and implementation. In this session, Dr. Steven Lin from Stanford University School of Medicine will discuss how to advance AI/ML for the future of primary care and population health through effective cross-sectoral partnerships, investment in implementation science, and a focus on health policy and equity. Participants will explore promising AI/ML use cases and learn how primary care organizations can collaborate to realize a shared vision of AI/ML technologies built by primary care, for primary care.

By the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to:

1) Describe 3 major gaps in health care AI/ML research,
development, and implementation

2) Explain how primary care can address these gaps

3) List at least 6 use cases for AI/ML in primary care and population
health
