Sophia Wang on the new tools helping her find answers in old data

On our final episode this season of Working
Smarter we talk to Sophia Wang, an assistant professor
of ophthalmology at Stanford University. 


Wang leads the school’s ophthalmic informatics and artificial
intelligence group, which uses the latest machine learning
techniques to analyze electronic health records. In practice,
that means looking at disparate sources of data—from doctors’
notes and eye exam data to diagnostic imagery and billing
codes—and finding the sorts of patterns that can be difficult for
humans to spot.


Hear Wang talk about using AI to extract useful information from
a sea of unstructured data, and how to make better decisions with
the data you already have—which, in Wang’s case, means improving
outcomes for glaucoma patients and providing a better quality of
care.
