The future of AI in medicine | Conor Judge | TEDxGalway

While AI is a scary concept for most, it has massive potential to revolutionise and better medical care. From reducing time spent by medical teams collecting patient information to predicting Parkinson’s disease. However, it is not without its risks. Conor highlights what is needed in order to implement multimodal AI safely into the healthcare system. Dr Conor Judge is a consultant nephrologist at Galway University Hospital, Saolta University Health Care Group and a senior lecturer in University of Galway having recently developed the MSc Applied Clinical Data Analytics.

Conor completed his PhD in the Health Research Board (HRB) Clinical Research Facility Galway.

Prior to medicine, Conor trained as an electronic and computer engineer and has a passion for combining data analytics with medicine. As a trainee, Dr Judge created two electronic health record databases in Galway University Hospital that have been used for over 100,000 patients since 2017.

The world need much better and more biomedical research to understand and treat chronic pain. Millions suffering from mechanical pain daily despite everything available today. This is a top priority for medical research.

Don’t be so cautious, AI will revolutionise diagnosis for the better. I’m always astonished at how random advice from doctors can be, so much diagnosis depends on the individual training of a single doctor. I’ve seen countless examples of this in my 57 years, you especially see it when you take a sick child to hospital and 5 different doctors have a range of opinions.

Most recent example was my hospitalised elderly father having seen many doctors yet it took a random doctor many months in to suggest medication for gout that improved his life immeasurably. Everyone else had missed it. Medical knowledge is scattered so randomly and is so unevenly applied that we are living in a dark age of diagnosis. Bring on the AI.

Feels like it's forever in the future. We had this conversation in 2021.

[KeithFlynn]

Extremely informative, articulate and entertaining! Excellent talk!
It's great to see how medical professionals are embracing the power of the AI space that is evolving so quickly.
Thanks for sharing!

I hope this is finally the end of chronic disease that causes so much suffering.

[markf]

Thank you,
I work as an ER Nurse and have a vision of how the concepts of machine learning and algorythmic decision making seem to be the same general concept. The future of healthcare lies in the topics you have outlined.

[OlavD]

I am excited to see how AI can help reduce suffering for people in the future. So many terrible illnesses out there 😅

[biomedicalaibasics]

Very good talk. AI in medicine will benefit doctors by reducing burnout, patients by improving quality of care and healthcare businesses by increasing their profit.

[MonicaOShea-hhih]

Wow Conor very impressive so proud of all you have achieved. Even I could understand the message sincerely well done 👏👏

[drfarooqpsx]

Great. I am MBBS and learning Ai application in medical science

[sathishrx]

It would have been more helpful if video/camera covered the presentation also.

[bastianrichter]

Patients deserve to see cures soon. All scientists out there should unite to maximise the chance of finding cures with the help of AI. Society should prioritise medical AI over anything else to end severe chronic pain and cure illnesses.

[yeccgjn]

No one actually knows the future, before medicine maybe diagnosis shall come first? Bitdoctor AI brings technology that also brings universal income

[yusufrosyid]

AI is magnificient, however we should understand what the actual situation

[eulincrouch]

I prompt tell chat GPT i am a doctor and it saves it and we can discuss things (just to check my decisions)

[almthanihamza]

Hi there, I'm fresh MBBS graduate, quite interested in AI in medicine
Just started the journey of learning of AI, Is anyone here has the interest so we could study together??!

[hassyg]

is the medical field implementing AI computers to speed research and medical discoveries? seem they are way behind than say Chatgbt and Gemini
