This blog highlights patient-generated health data (PGHD) by reviewing a case study of one of our clinical trials: PROStep: A Feasibility Trial Using PROs and Step Data to Monitor Patients With Lung and GI Cancers

In the first entry of this series, we examined how algorithms can be biased on a variety of factors, including their underlying data, biased individuals creating models, or from statistical mischaracterizations from models themselves. In this entry, Caleb Hearn et al. explore how bias in algorithms is identified and quantified according to a few different statistical concepts and metrics.

Algorithms leverage existing data to predict an outcome, using inputs that are associated with the outcome. One problem with the forthcoming tide of machine learning algorithms is that such algorithms can be biased. In this blog, we start exploring the concept of "Algorithmic Bias"

Algorithms are routinely used in the clinic to make decisions on patient care. Over time these algorithms may deteriorate in performance. Here, we start the explore the concept of “performance drift”.

Caleb M. Hearn, MPH, CAPM will have a podium talk “Hospice Provider Perspectives on Providing Earlier Palliative Care for Patients with Serious Illness”
Jenna Steckel, MSW will have a poster presentation “Clinician Perspectives on Virtual Palliative Care for Patients with Advanced Illness”
Founded at the Perelman School of Medicine and the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania, we are a laboratory focusing on the development, validation, implementation, and scaling of advanced algorithms in clinical care and health policy.
