Doctors Who Code: Why Physicians Should Build Artificial Intelligence | Logan Nye | TEDxBoston

Logan Nye, MD is a physician who develops artificial intelligence systems for patient care. While building diagnostic AI at Harvard Medical School, he realized that clinical AI suffers from a gap in understanding between physicians and data scientists. Physicians understand medicine, but cannot code. Developers can build models, but lack medical expertise. This makes the process of building AI for healthcare slow and inaccurate. But what if one person could do both - a doctor who codes? That's what Logan Nye does, and that's where he believes the medical field is heading.
Coding, Disease, Health, Machine Learning, Medicine, Technology I'm a physician who specializes in artificial intelligence and deep learning, combining my medical training and programming skillset to improve healthcare and advance scientific discovery. I believe that the most significant biomedical breakthroughs of our generation will occur at this intersection - the convergence of computation, intelligence, and medicine. I plan to spend my career contributing to this space. I work on deep learning for healthcare at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, where I research and deploy innovative AI solutions for orthopaedic surgery and oncology. I plan to use my unique combination of medical and technological knowledge to pioneer a new type of medical career based on high-performance computing and quantitative approaches to patient care. My long-term goal is to use emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and quantum computing to address health challenges, improve patient care, and cure diseases.

대박!! Would be awesome to see this technology improve diagnostic abilities ❤

[@handson2022]

Logan that’s true, you are quite literally the biggest nerd I’ve ever met… I haven’t met any other nerds as swole as you. Congrats on your Ted talk and the direction you’re taking your career - I’m excited to see where you go from here.

[@ashwinanand4994]

Bestie alert. 🎉

[@carmensofiabajo2826]

I liked his presentation very much

[@commanderthorkilj.amundsen3426]

An informative, well articulated TED talk. As a physician-researcher of four decades experience, I’m amazed at how many diagnoses are delayed and missed by physicians, PA’s, APRN’s NOT due to lack of knowledge or diagnostic skills, but due to distractions by demands of the medical record keeping and high patient volumes.
We don’t NEED AI as anything other than another tool WE CONTROL.
GENERALIZED AI, on the other hand, will absolutely prove to be our undoing, and further separate tech saturated humans from NATURE and the BIOSPHERE.
JOB LOSS-physicians and nurses will be obsolete, & engineers, builders, teachers, technicians in all fields.
The militarization of AI is already being implemented. As resources become scarce, WAR is inevitable, and of cataclysmic, life-ending proportions, humans predictably engaged in power and control conflict, as they have throughout history.
As Hawking said, AI will be man’s final invention.
So by developing AI applications, YOU are helping accelerate this dystopian path. Not good.

The development of AI is inevitable and unstoppable. The only way to ensure its positive impact on the world is to establish proper regulations and guidelines for its use.

[@andrevargasaguilar2723]

Instead of being afraid you should learn how to do it

[@jasvindercr]

Great, inspiring. But how to start is an important question. Can someone guide?

[@mustafa_altreki]

Really inspiring
Can I steal his way of life? 🙂
We need more people like him

[@itslogannye]

Come hang, we need more super nerds

[@mustafa_altreki]

@@itslogannye just wait 6 years, until i finish medical school
And i will join you 😉

[@averagestudent4358]

Hi how can I contact you doc?​@@itslogannye

[@averagestudent4358]

Hi doc I finished my MBBS , graduated from med school.
Would love to have your guidance regarding pursuing the AI as my masters.😊​@@itslogannye

This is very interesting. I can already see the day when doctors are almost completely phased out in the early stages of health care. No longer would you need a doctors time and skill to diagnose you. You simply consult an AI interface to receive a very accurate diagnosis and then a human doctor maybe administers treatment afterwards.
This to me means affordable and effective health care for lower income people. Cementing your assertion that this will save lives. It’s revolutionary.

[@muath7962]

Medical treatment administration is just a fraction of the Doctors job. There is a surgical field that will never become dominated by AI to replace surgeons, at least until pilots, cops and most of the critical jobs replaced by AI.
Yes AI will be become a significant part of the medical system but will not replace doctors at all, AI will help in primary care, reduce medical errors and assist in diagnosis and treatment.

Hey!
I am a pediatrics resident in Greece, currently doing my Master of Science in Pediatrics and sitting the USMLE examinations.
I've recently started private coding and machine learning lessons, but I'm feeling a bit lost on what steps to take next to pursue this exciting career that combines coding and medicine.
I truly believe that the intersection of coding and medicine holds incredible potential, and your insights on the topic would be invaluable. Is there a way I can reach out to you directly to discuss this further? I would greatly appreciate your thoughts and guidance on the path ahead. Thank you for sharing such interesting content!

[@jovana77]

Hi, did you find anything interesting? I’m also a doctor and this I would like to know more about this topic.

[@arturocarbajal7906]

Im also wanna know please

[@mohamedibrahim-iq9od]

Me too I am an internist I am trying but still no clear track hope to find

[@olanitoritimothy7312]

I'm also a doctor.. and I would also love to knw what's the best IT skill to start

[@peace_and_blessings1111]

I'm also a med student totally into this

[@oussamafajr5021]

❤❤😊

[@mohamedibrahim-iq9od]

Hope to join you I am an internist

[@kensingtonroads]

Can’t wait to see you cure cancer Logan

[@waldomonroy452]

Did he use chat gpt to build a program?

[@sadiq234]

Everyone does
