Measuring and Maximizing Clinical Impact: Lessons from Post-deployment AI Monitoring

Presented by Nina Kottler, MD, MS, FSIIM, Vera Sorin, MD, Jason A. Poff, MD, Tim Kline, PhD, Walter F. Wiggins, MD, PhD, Christoph Wald, MD, PhD, MBA May 21, 2025 | 3:00 PMLearning Theater 2 - Expo Hall

When a healthcare center develops its own medical AI models, it assumes long-term responsibility for ensuring that performance remains consistent over time. This session will explore best practices for pre-deployment validation, post-deployment monitoring, and strategies to bridge the gap between theoretical AI performance and real-world clinical outcomes. We will discuss how rigorous local validation can…
