Medical AI technologies are changing how doctors make clinical decisions and significantly reducing the time clinicians spend on manual tasks.
However, these AI systems are only as reliable as the data used to train them.
When these models fail, researchers currently must perform slow, manual and nonreproducible investigations to determine why. There is no automated, systematic way to trace a model’s poor performance back to specific errors in the data pipeline. Troubleshooting data errors manually is not only labor-intensive but also costly, and it can slow the entire clinical workflow, causing patients to wait longer for critical treatments.
Unlike general AI, medical data is also precious and expensive to collect because it requires patient consent and high levels of clinical expertise. Simply discarding “bad” data is often not a viable option.
