AI Health Pioneer Suchi Saria tells us that data is all around us. Together with machine learning, data can save more lives. In her TEDMED 2020 Talk, Suchi takes us on a journey of perseverance and ingenuity. A story of personal tragedy led Suchi to build a platform that delivers targeted real-time early warning solutions for early detection of patients at risk for major complications. Suchi argues that the effective integration of AI into health and medicine requires that Electronic Medical Records are accessible for integration with other systems. Another critical recommendation has to do with policy and financial incentives. It is not enough for technology to merely show that it improves patient outcomes. Suchi reminds us that for critical adoption of life saving technologies, these technologies must align with financial incentives for healthcare organizations.
