Christmas Healthcare AI Meetup

We are holding our second Sydney Healthcare AI & Data Science Meetup on Tuesday 11th December @ Lorica Health in the Rocks. We will be covering:

Talk 1: Joe Logan, CTO, Alixir

Joe is going to give an overview of how transfer learning can enable anyone with basic coding skills to build a quick and dirty medical imaging deep learning classifier. We will building a computer vision system that can differentiate between chest x-rays and mammograms in only a few lines of Python code.

Talk 2: Christine Godkin, Health Information Manager, Lorica Health

Fraud, abuse, waste and errors in hospital admission claims cost the health system huge amounts each year, leading to higher health insurance premiums. These issues range from minor coding errors to deliberate abuse for financial gain. In this talk, Christine will draw on her extensive experience as a Health Information Manager to discuss some of these issues, as well how tools like HIBIS can be applied.

Talk 3: Stephan Curiskis, Senior Data Scientist, Lorica Health

We're hearing more about AI and machine learning applied to health data every day. In this talk, Stephan will present some of the trends behind the hype and discuss real progress being made on a number of fronts, including advanced techniques being applied to electronic health records for a number of outcomes.

Our capacity for the event is 100 people, so RSVP quickly if you are interested in coming along!
