RANDOM ACTS OF MEDICINE: FINDING TRUTHS HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT

The data revolution that has occurred in every aspect of our lives—including health care—will undoubtedly shape the future of medicine. Artificial intelligence promises to change the way we provide care, but these powerful predictive models have one important shortcoming: they don’t do much to help us understand cause and effect. Weaving together bedside experience with insights from his own research, Harvard professor and practicing critical care physician Dr. Chris Worsham shows us how big data can be still be harnessed to study cause and effect. Teaching the basic principles and providing fascinating examples, he guides you through illuminating “natural experiments” that occur when patients are sent down different care pathways not as part of a clinical trial, but simply by the random chance and serendipity of daily life. In this thought-provoking talk built upon the themes of his bestselling book, Random Acts of Medicine, Dr. Worsham wants to leave you looking at the world a bit differently, ripe with opportunity to uncover what’s hiding—in plain sight—in the troves of data we collect.
