Doctors Who Code: Why Physicians Should Build Artificial Intelligence | Logan Nye | TEDxBoston

Logan Nye, MD, is a physician who develops artificial intelligence systems for patient care. While building diagnostic AI at Harvard Medical School, he realized that clinical AI suffers from a gap in understanding between physicians and data scientists. Physicians understand medicine but cannot code. Developers can build models but lack medical expertise. This makes the process of building AI for healthcare slow and inaccurate. But what if one person could do both—a doctor who codes? That's what Logan Nye does, and that's where he believes the medical field is heading.
