Room: Orlando Ballrooms IV - VI
Track: Plenary - Presidential Symposium
Level: ANA2024

Description

Recent advances in artificial intelligence are challenging our concepts of applied predictive medicine in clinical and research settings. Computer science can enhance the speed and efficiency of human directed data processing. It raises the prospect of achieving what approximates human thought in order to expedite, prioritize, and better assist in neurological clinical care and research decisions. In order to make best use of this incredible power and avoid unintended negative consequences, it is critically important that the path to AI output is understood. Data utilized by AI systems are accurate and robust when properly validated and applied by clinical or research end users. Speakers will present perspectives on current capabilities and future promise of computational tools for the application of implantable devices and the integration of multi-omics, imaging, and clinical data toward understanding the causes, prognosis and treatment of neurological disease. 

Objectives

  • Assess current approaches to neurological treatment, diagnostics.

  • Describe how to apply medical data access and organization in ways that safely connect multiple medical institutions while preserving data privacy and intellectual property.

  • Discuss issues surrounding the use of AI in neurological care and research.
