The Quest to Predict the Future of Medicine

Dr. Kira Radinsky
Chairwoman & CTO , Diagnostic Robotics

How do we predict future events, such as pandemics, and also make personalized predictions in healthcare?

Dr. Radinsky talks about gathering data on 150 years of news articles, billions of tweets and millions of web searches and using that data to extract causality. She then combines this data with correlation infrastructure to predict events like a Cholera outbreak in Cuba.

While this method has been successful at preparing for disaster, Kira has more recently focused on automated triaging in the primary care system for standard medical conditions, until COVID-19 broke out. Her work now focuses on predicting COVID-19 in certain geographies and flattening the curve by increasing the supply of testing services in those areas.
