Abstract: Clinical trials are the gatekeeper and bottleneck of medicine. In the first half of the talk, I discuss lessons learned from our systematic analysis of all the FDA-approved medical AI devices, which reveals key limitations in how AIs are evaluated (Wu et al. Nature Medicine 2021). Motivated by this, I share the design and results from our recent randomized prospective clinical trial evaluating EchoNet, a computer vision AI for assessing cardiac conditions.
