How do I turn this on? What to consider when adopting AI-based tools into clinical practice
Harry Hallock
Tuesday May 23, 2023 13:00 - 13:30 F1
AI, English, Pre-recorded + On-site, Presentation, Tools for implementation, Introductory, Management/decision makers, Organizational development, Purchasers/acquisitions/eco nomy/HR, Technicians/IT/Developers, Researchers, Care professionals, Healthcare professionals, Benefits/effects, Education (verification), Test/validation, Patient safety, Government information
Artificial intelligence (AI) has great potential to transform healthcare, making it more efficient, equitable, and safe. There are hundreds of AI-based tools available on the market today, yet few get adopted into clinical practice because of numerous barriers and challenges. This talk provides an overview of these hurdles and suggests 26 considerations synthesized from the literature, interviews, and workshop with stakeholders who have experience with the process of trying to adopt AI-based tools into clinical practice. We believe that as the barriers and challenges to AI adoption are addressed and overcome, AI will inevitably have a lasting impact on improving healthcare for all.
Client-Side Application of Deep Learning Models through Teleradiology
Sébastien Jodogne
Wednesday May 24, 2023 14:30 - 14:45 G4
MIE: Sensors, signals and Imaging Informatics, English, On site only, Presentation, Advanced
Deep learning models for radiology are typically deployed either through cloud-based platforms, through on-premises infrastructures, or though heavyweight viewers. This tends to restrict the audience of deep learning models to radiologists working in state-of-the-art hospitals, which raises concerns about the democratization of deep learning for medical imaging, most notably in the context of research and education. We show that complex deep learning models can be applied directly inside Web browsers, without resorting to any external computation infrastructure, thanks to the use of WebAssembly, and we release our code as free and open-source software. This opens the path to the use of teleradiology solutions as an effective way to distribute, teach, and evaluate deep learning architectures.
Cross Organizational Health Data Sharing Using the Data Sharing Framework
Hauke Hund, Maximilian Kurscheidt, Simon Mödinger, Simon Schweizer
Monday May 22, 2023 10:00 - 14:00 R11
MIE: Special Topic: Caring is Sharing - exploiting value in data for health and innovation, English, On site only, Other, Advanced
Separate registration required: https://www.mie2023.org/tutorials,With this tutorial, participants will gain a detailed insight into the Data Sharing Framework (DSF). The open source DSF enables users to execute biomedical research and healthcare delivery processes across organizations, and the tutorial will demonstrate this with examples from the German Medical Informatics Initiative (MII) funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The tutorial will cover fundamental concepts of distributed processes, the DSFs architecture and key standards such as HL7 FHIR and BPMN 2.0. Participants will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the DSF by working with different processes in a lab setting. Technical aspects such as authentication and authorization will be covered, as well as guidance on using the DSF for other use cases. This tutorial is designed for those involved in distributed research projects, including project members and software developers, as well as individuals interested in multi-organizational research projects.Additional information: https://dsf.dev/tutorials/MIE2023.html

Nordic harmonization of health data
Mikael Rinnetmäki
Thursday May 25, 2023 10:30 - 11:00 F1
Informatik/semantik, English, Pre-recorded + On-site, Presentation, Inspiration, Introductory, Politicians, Organizational development, Technicians/IT/Developers, Researchers, Actual examples (good/bad), Follow-up/Report of current status, Apps, Government information
Most Nordic countries have created their own set of FHIR base profiles. There has not been harmonization between these efforts, rather each country has had their own internal process. However, harmonizing the base profiles would be really useful. A harmonized content format across the Nordic countries would allow a FHIR app developed in one country to be used in another without major modifications. It would also simplify sharing health data across borders.A new initiative is being launched to harmonize the FHIR base profiles across the Nordic countries.
PANEL: Patients Online Record Access in the Context of the European Health Data Space
Anna Kharko, Anne Moen, Bo Wang, Isabella Scandurra, Josefin Hagström, Maria Hägglund
Wednesday May 24, 2023 15:45 - 17:15 J2
MIE: Special Topic: Caring is Sharing - exploiting value in data for health and innovation, English, On site only, Panel, Advanced
Equal access to health data is far from reality today and there is a lack of comparison between countries. To motivate, understand and increase progress, we start from the position that highlighting current status, sharing evidence related to practices and policies, and identifying major enablers and obstacles across national and regional boundaries is necessary. Therefore, we have invited panel participants to introduce five different countries, representing five different stages of and approaches to patients’ ORA implementation.
