AI expert helps startup improve health care delivery
Hoda Eldardiry, associate professor in the Department of Computer Science, and her research team are working with health care startup LiteraSeed Inc. Nearly 80 percent of misdiagnoses are related to miscommunication, resulting in up to 200,000 avoidable hospital deaths.
In the U.S., nearly 80 percent of misdiagnoses are related to miscommunication, resulting in up to 200,000 avoidable hospital deaths, according to The Joint Commission, a nonprofit that accredits more than 22,000 health care organizations and programs nationwide. Those errors — more than half of which occur because patients struggle with low health literacy or language barriers — cost the health care system about $238 billion annually, according to a 2021 report in the Journal of Public Health.
Working under a nearly $1 million grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation, Eldardiry’s Machine Learning Laboratory will harness cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to integrate LiteraSeed’s existing visual-based patient communication tool with electronic health record systems for more efficient, data-driven health care.
