"The AI Will See You Now""The AI Will See You Now"
What does it take to turn a sketch on a n apkin into technology that saves people's sight? T his talk follows that path\, from a simple idea to a commercial product now helping protect vision f or people with wet macular degeneration\, a leadin g cause of blindness in older adults.
\n \nThe story continues at the University of Utah\, wh ere data and artificial intelligence are being use d to build new tools that help doctors decide who needs care most urgently and how best to treat the m. The goal is better outcomes for patients and\, surprisingly\, more human doctors.
\n \nDes pite the title\, this is not a story about machine s replacing physicians. It is about a partnership. AI does what it does best: it combines informatio n from thousands of patients\, spots patterns\, an d puts clear\, useful insights at the doctor's fin gertips when they need them. That frees doctors to do what they do best: listen\, explain\, comfort\ , and make decisions together with their patients.
\n \nDr. Adam Dubis will be our speaker at the November meeting. Dr. Dubis used his engineer ing background to commercialize several analytical tools and methods for ophthalmology while earning his PhD at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Aft er moving to London in 2013\, he continued his ent erprise activities\, consulting for several start- ups and commercializing health analytics through p atent filings and spin-out companies. He also deve loped two master’s-level courses aimed at enabling biomedical idea generators to take their ideas to market.
\n \nHe joined the research facu lty at the John A. Moran Eye Center in 2024 and con tinues teaching activities within the University o f Utah Biom edical Engineering BioInnovate Program.
\n \nLunch will be served\, so please register fo r the event.
