Note: Due to travel, Plamen Petrov will not be able to speak, but we will have his colleague Mark Shapiro to speak in his absence.
The talk will cover trends and interesting applications of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare. Physicians are the key group that determine how AI is adopted in medical practice, and as AI methods and technologies are rapidly moving from research labs to commercial implementations it is important to understand the perspective of physicians. Mark will provide a survey of views and expectations of physicians expressed in published literature over the last year and give examples of successful applications of AI technology in medicine.

Prior to joining Anthem, Mark worked as a data scientist at Deloitte and later at Kogentix, a machine learning startup recently acquired by Accenture.
