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.
Most recently, Dr Judge has been awarded the Health Research Board’s Clinician Scientist Fellowships (CSF) 2023 scheme, worth €700,000 with a research project on ‘An artificial intelligence approach to improving blood pressure treatment’. Which will address the significant care-gap in hypertension management. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

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.

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

[@bastianrichter4284]

For too many people already ill, it’s a disaster to see how slow medical research is. Pain research should be a top priority for humanity. Patients deserve cures and AI should be primarily used to help patients and scientists find new treatments and cures.

[@Olav3D]

@@bastianrichter4284 Absolutely! Meanwhile one can only improve diet and do gentle workouts for such issues.

[@bastianrichter4284]

@@Olav3D In theory. From experience, and I'm only talking for myself, exercise and endorphins release didn't help with my pain nor with my sensitisation. On the contrar, it made me much worse, so that doesn't apply to everyone. Also, moving to a very healthy, anti-inflammatory diet didn't change my situation, only to losing weight. What we need is to get to the bottom of the abnormal pain sensitisation and fingers crossed, AI will accelerate things.

[@bastianrichter4284]

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.

[@joeschnur4632]

we already know the the problem - all the chemicals in our food, water and environment. Our bodies are constantly fighting. The people that live off the grid don't have the chronic diseases. The day fast food goes out of business is the day we know we are headed in the right direction.

[@pushpa19-c3m]

AI and medical knowledge working together could result in ground-breaking improvements in healthcare, improving patient outcomes and cutting expenses.

[@Eddierath]

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!

[@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.

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

AI doctor? legit?

[@LobsterKing-ii1rl]

they are growing so fast

They are really creating a movement. TG BitDoctorAi

I really hope this is real, it will really change the medical scene

[@SkipYearSix]

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

[@markf4820]

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.

[@aisecretsrevealed]

No one knows what the future is going to be! 😱🤧

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

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??!

[@beingmehakmirza]

Me here...Was Looking for some course that combines MBBS and AI but couldn't find any🥲 I think learning the initial coding n languages is the only practical way currently

[@saikrishna-iq5os]

I am also interested

[@saikrishna-iq5os]

How can i contact you. I am also an MBBS Graduate

[@almthanihamza8877]

I'm not sure how could we contact, do you have tele* gram or Linked* In accounts?

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.

[@hassyg4083]

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