'Based on paper 'Effect of a doctor working during the festive period on population health: natural experiment using 60 years of Doctor Who episodes (TARDIS study)' we invite you as key Speaker at our prestigious 6th International Conference on Materials Science & Engineering'

👇

Looking forward to joining Royal College of Anaesthetists at #Anaesthesia2024 next month

I'll be talking about the growing evidence that biased AI algorithms can cause harm, and what we can do to reduce the risk to our patients

The TRIPOD+AI statement consists of a 27 item checklist to report in a prediction model study, and an expanded checklist that provides guidance for each item. The recommendations are agnostic to the modelling approach (e.g., #machinelearning or regression)

Wow - so pleased to see TRIPOD+AI published today in The BMJ

Brilliantly led by Gary Collins 🇪🇺

Provides a guideline for transparent reporting of studies developing or evaluating AI-based prediction models (eg, using machine learning or regression) in healthcare

Imagine how much time academics would save if every funder & institution worldwide agreed to the same format for a CV?

We could even put those saved hours toward, oh i don't know, actual research or teaching perhaps?

NEW PAPER in Journal of Clinical Epidemiology 'SPIN-PM: A consensus framework to evaluate the presence of spin in studies on prediction models'

New blog post alert!📝

In this post I unravel the concept of Decentralised Clinical Trials ( #DCT )! I also share my definition that I will use during my PhD after finding variability in the literature.

Bonus: Self-drawn illustrations! #PhD

[new paper] Conventional risk prediction methods can inform us that decisions have to be made, but they cannot tell us *what* needs to be done. We experimented with a range of causal risk prediction methods on the New Zealand PREDICT-CVD cohort
