S1E32: On this episode, The Retinator with Michael Abramoff, MD, PhD Founder/Chairman at Digital Diagnostics and host Dr. Nick. Many will have seen the movie series that started with “The Terminator” – almost 40 years old at this point but still poignant in the picture it painted of a world impacted by artificial intelligence that resulted in the mass extinction of human life when the fictional ‘Sky Net' became aware. But is that our future with the rapid advances in machine learning, artificial intelligence, and deep learning? And if so what can we and should we be doing about it. We can have automation that augments our existing resources in healthcare but as Michael points out the benchmark for technology is not to the clinical resources but rather to the clinical outcome. We know our system misses many opportunities for positive intervention, delivering great healthcare but not always equally or uniformly distributed. Your better pill to swallow is to incorporating AI and technology into your organization with transparency and based on ethics.

Have you ever had an idea that you just had to make real? No matter what it took… no matter what obstacles were in your way… no matter how many times people told you no… you just couldn't stop until it existed? Well, this is one of those stories. It begins with an idea in 1988 and leads to the first-ever autonomous AI to be approved by the FDA for diagnosis without physician input. Dr. Michael Abramoff, MD, Ph.D. is the Founder and Executive Chairman of Digital Diagnostics, the autonomous AI diagnostics company which was the first in any field of medicine to get FDA authorization for an autonomous AI. Dr. Abramoff is a neuroscientist, a practicing physician, and holds a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. In 1988, Michael was working on artificial intelligence during his residency and began to think a computer could diagnose diabetic retinopathy. Given the technology available at the time, this idea may have been a bit of a stretch. Still, Michael set out to prove it could be done. Joining him in this interview is Seth Rainford, the President and COO at Digital Diagnostics. Seth focuses on expanding market opportunities and driving operational excellence within the company. He brings more than a decade of executive experience to Digital Diagnostics including the successful management of large-scale P&L's, strong organic & inorganic business development expertise, as well as complex multi-site operations leadership within the healthcare industry. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Abramov and Seth about the 30-year journey that led to the founding of Digital Diagnostics, and the first-ever FDA-approved Autonomous AI in healthcare. Plus, we explore the challenges they continue to work through as they commercialize their product to support organizations looking to win in value-based care!

Meet Michael D. Abramoff, M.D., Ph.D.:Michael D. Abramoff, M.D., Ph.D. is neuroscientist, fellowship-trained retina specialist, and computer engineer. He is the Founder and Executive Chairman at Digital Diagnostics as well as the Robert C. Watzke, M.D., Professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at the University of Iowa. Previously, he was the Founder, CEO, and Executive Chairman of IDx. Dr. Abramoff received his M.D. from the University of Amsterdam and Ph.D. in Medical Imaging from Utrecht University. Key Insights:Dr. Abramoff's company Digital Diagnostics developed the first FDA approved autonomous AI. Closing the Care Gap. The primary care physicians and endocrinologists most involved in diabetes care lack the expertise to diagnose diabetic retinopathy. Digital Diagnostics' autonomous AI can make that diagnosis in-office, rather than referring the patient out to another specialist. (8:29)Earning Reimbursement. To get buy in from clinicians and the FDA, Digital Diagnostics had to show that their product was safe, effective, and built on diverse data to prevent bias. Additionally, early on they claimed that as creators of the AI, they are liable for its performance. These features eventually led to a CPT code, creating proof of concept and a path for autonomous AI in healthcare. (12:58)Ethics in AI. When hiring engineers and developers, Dr. Abramoff emphasized the importance of ethics. Single characters in their code could make a difference for a patient. Their work at the aggregate needed to represent individual patients and account for their individual experiences. (22:16)This episode is hosted by Suchi Saria, Ph.D. She is a member of the Advisory Council for Day Zero and is the founder and CEO of Bayesian Health.
