Speakers
Joe is a doctoral research fellow at the University of Birmingham, and a speciality registrar in anaesthesia and ICM. His research focuses on predictive models which are used throughout healthcare – how can we ensure these data-driven tools are safe and effective for everyone? He is one of the leads for the STANDING Together initiative, creating international recommendations to improve the way data is selected and used to create AI health technologies. STANDING Together is a collaboration between stakeholders from 58 countries, including medical device regulators, research funders, policy organisations and academic institutions. Joe is also co-organiser of the Alan Turing Institute’s Clinical AI interest group, and co-lead for the Participatory Research Theme at Data Science for Health Equity (DSxHE).
Learning outcomes:
- What questions should intensivists be asking before using AI health technologies in their practice?
- How is the wider NHS working to ensure these tools are safe, effective, and equitable?
