Publishing our work allows us to share ideas and work collaboratively to advance healthcare. This is a comprehensive view of our publications and associated blog posts.
We are exploring computer-aided diagnostic screening for diabetic retinopathy, one of the fastest growing causes of preventable vision loss globally, as in much of the world, there simply are not enough doctors available to support the volume of screening required for the population.
Our team is working with researchers in mammography and pathology to develop ML that might one day assist clinicians in screening and diagnosing breast cancer.
We are using deep learning models to make a broad set of predictions relevant to hospitalized patients using de-identified electronic health records and discovering how models can be used to render accurate predictions.
We develop models for understanding medical speech and conversations and make them available publicly via Google Speech APIs. We are also developing next generation tools for recognizing symptoms of speech disorders from medical audio.
