Research Pulse podcast Season 2 Episode 5
Machine learning can help doctors predict patient outcomes within the first 24 hours of arriving at hospital after a stroke.
We speak to Dr Stephen Bacchi, neurology registrar and researcher at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. Stephen won the SA Health Young Professional of the Year award in 2021, and was a finalist in the 2023 South Australian Science Excellence and Innovation Awards for his PhD work.
We learn about:
- uncertainty in medicine
- artificial intelligence development and implementation
- how machine learning is helping to predict length of stay and facilitate timely discharge from hospital.
