It is hard to keep up with the latest technologies, let
alone, all the new buzzwords or hype introduced by smart marketers to
differentiate their products. I believe that it is better to call a product by
its name based on what it does. Take “deep learning,” for example, isn’t “deep
learning” just another form of neural networks, which is how Wikipedia
classifies it, i.e. after a four-paragraph description, it says “Deep learning has been
characterized as a buzzword, or a
rebranding of neural networks.”
If you follow this quote it leads to another interesting
statement from IEEE Fellow Michael I. Jordan,
Pehong Chen Distinguished Professor at the University of California, Berkeley:
“The
overeager adoption of big data is
likely to result in catastrophes of analysis comparable to a national epidemic
of collapsing bridges. Hardware designers creating chips
based on the human brain are
engaged in a faith-based undertaking likely to prove a fool’s errand. Despite
recent claims to the contrary, we are no further along with computer vision
than we were with physics when Isaac Newton sat under his apple tree.”
After
reading these quotes from people who are much smarter than me, I am reminded
that maybe we should not get carried away by these new terms and buzzwords and
instead stick to what we know and what feels right. If a new development feels
like it is hype, it very likely is.
Instead of
pursuing a fool’s errand, maybe we should fix what is broken, which is focusing
on improving our workflow and integrating our current systems in a better
manner. Implementing a VNA, deconstructed PACS, deep learning, applying big
data solutions will only make the situation worse if you don’t optimize your
current system first.
As a matter of fact, talking with other industry consultants, we seem to agree that more than 50 percent of the current healthcare imaging and IT systems could definitely use a “tune-up.” Think about a V6 in a car running only on four cylinders. There are plenty of consultants that are busy with HIPAA audits, which is absolutely necessary, but a workflow and integration audit could be much more important.
I agree,
doing a comprehensive audit of your current system is not as sexy as
implementing the latest and greatest buzzword, but it can result in significant
savings and efficiency and more effective patient care. Using “lessons learned”
will provide a better ROI than applying “deep learning.” Remember this when
next year’s buzzword is being introduced as well.
In my opinion, products should be called by simple terms. This would be simpler for people to remember such terms, at least, terms should be closely related to the function of a particular product. Nowadays people like to make their life difficult. Let us take as an example methods they choose in applying for a job position. Their applications are often rejected because they are not following simple rules. People like to compose long and inaccurate data about their working experience along with complicated terms. People should be aware of Few Things to Avoid When Writing Your Resume and success is guaranteed.

ReplyDeleteExamples of the use of Big Data in the field of health prove that increasing the range of data applications in the medical field should be systematic, because the Big Data have all the chances to make people's lives as safe as possible. Already today, the technologies for collecting and analyzing information allow us to identify both the diseases of individual patients and to forecast the health status of an entire social group. And, most importantly, Big Data is the key to the development of preventive measures in the field of medicine. The company Activewizards) notes that Big Date can give doctors the opportunity to put the most accurate diagnoses, predict the development of the disease, calculate the risks for each patient, and sometimes prevent them
