Impact AI Diagnosis and Management of Epilepsy with Dean Freestone from Seer
In this episode, I talk with Dean Freestone, co-founder and CEO of Seer, about epilepsy. Seer uses home monitoring to diagnose and manage neurological conditions, relieving bottlenecks in the healthcare system.
Highlights:
- Using machine learning to summarize data to reduce the labor intensive search for episodic events.
- Handling imbalanced datasets.
- Controlling the workflows to enable gathering and annotating huge datasets.
- Working with technicians to speed up review of EEG data.
- Using machine learning to capture features that doctors can’t describe.
- Dealing with low inter-reviewer agreement from clinicians.
- How bias can manifest is neurological data.
- Do not underestimate the cost and amount of work to build a healthcare AI startup.
