UCSF Coordinating Center for Diagnostic Excellence Webinar: Innovations at the Intersection of AI and Diagnosis Webinar
The University of California San Francisco's Coordinating Center for Diagnostic Excellence (CODEX) is holding a webinar August 27 featuring JAHF-sponsored scholar, Gary Weissman. The webinar is titled, "Innovations at the Intersection of AI and Diagnosis."
AI is opening new pathways to improve diagnostic accuracy, timeliness, and equity, particularly for high-risk and underserved populations. This webinar will spotlight two research initiatives from 2024-2025 National Academy of Medicine (NAM) Scholars in Diagnostic Excellence who are pushing the boundaries of safe, fair, and effective AI in healthcare.
Featured speakers include:
- AI Diagnostic Decision Support for Older Adults in Primary Care: This project develops deep learning models trained on clinician behaviors to improve diagnostic safety for older adults. Gary Weissman, MD, MSHP, will explore a randomized chart review that compares AI-generated and human diagnoses to evaluate accuracy, safety, and readiness for clinical use.
- Equity-Grounded AI for Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): Researchers are fine-tuning large language models to detect PAD from electronic health record data, aiming for accurate, safe, and equitable performance across diverse patient groups. Andrew Gonzalez, MD, JD, PhD, will talk about this project seeking scalable diagnostic support to help prevent avoidable amputations without compromising fairness.
