Is racially-biased algorithm delaying health care for one million Black people?
- DanBC 6y agoThe full title (which doesn't fit the 80 char limit) is "Is a racially-biased algorithm delaying health care for one million Black people?"
- ljoshua 6y agoVery interesting article. The majority of it discusses the tension that arises when using race-based adjustments in care settings, and it felt like a “darned if you do, darned if you don’t” situation. However the last two paragraphs offer a potential way forward: use more complete data inputs to accurately reflect potential differences instead of just ham fisted race adjustment multiplier. Data alone will never take the place of in-person diagnosis, but at least it offers an improvement over the current system. We will always need to be constantly trying to improve here.
