Virtual Patient Platform Aims to Reduce Misdiagnoses - Dr. Thomas Kelly, Founder and CEO, Oscer

“Software can keep in its mind a million more things than a doctor can,” explains Dr. Tom Kelly, who started a company in Australia called Oscer that aims to eliminate misdiagnosis. It all started with Dr. Kelly's desire to improve the lives of others, after he saw first-hand the impact that mistakes in diagnosis were having in rural Australia. In this fascinating talk with host Michael Carrese, learn more about Dr. Kelly's path and the important work of his company, whose education platform is now used to teach clinical reasoning by more than 150 universities across 35 countries and counting. Listen in for a glimpse of the technology behind the scenes at Oscer, including their gigantic maps called knowledge graphs, their virtual patients, and their clinical products that Dr. Kelly says will eventually be able to consider all the symptoms a patient has ever reported and hopefully provide “a superhuman level of diagnostic support.” Plus, hear Dr. Kelly's philosophy on what humans are meant to do, and what makes this moment in time especially significant.
