That's not how this works. The only way to show an actual reduction in all cause mortality as the result of an intervention, treatment, or screening process is through a randomized controlled clinical trial. If none have been performed, you don't have evidence that lives have been saved. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
- hadsed 6y agoi think focusing entirely on one type of evidence is a little unimaginative. if these guys have data on doctors performing some task with and without their tool, they're in a good place to measure the difference. they can take that all the way to the bank, and to me that would contribute to what id call evidence.

- jhowell 6y agoMaybe the GP threw the wrong buzzword and meant AI instead of ML.
- ganstyles 6y agoTotally fair. It is a very, very hard field to make progress in. I would also take anything I say with a grain of salt, I'm not trying to convince you, just to bring an additional data point to the thought that these techniques aren't very useful or impactful.
