EXPERT ANALYSIS AT CCR 18


Referring to a recent commentary in the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Burmester said physicians have to accept the coming role of computer algorithms.

“If medicine wishes to stay in control of its own future,” he said, “physicians will not only have to embrace algorithms, they will also have to excel at developing and evaluating them, bringing machine-learning methods into the medical domain.”
