Augmented vs Artificial Intelligence for Stratification of Patients with Myositis
Just published ‘Augmented versus Artificial Intelligence for Stratification of Patients with Myositis‘, the correspondence in BMJ Annals of Rheumatic Diseases, discussing the potential of Machine Learning, AI and Big Data to improve the stratification of patients, especially when the available data is limited.
We believe that AI driven approaches are a powerful alternative to human judgement and can improve future classification criteria, especially for patients with rare diseases or when it comes to the analysis of datasets from small cohorts. We also believe that today complimenting a human with the machine is more powerful than replacing a human judgement all together, thus relying on augmented judgement when making the final decision on patient stratification especially when building AI-based models.
