How Can I Create My First AI Model for Medical Diagnosis?
Asked by
CuriousMedStudent42
I'm a medical student and I've been given the task of creating an AI model for a study that focuses on diagnosing illnesses. This model will use patient information and videos to aid in the diagnosis. However, I don't have any programming experience. Can anyone recommend which AI models would be appropriate for this project, and what introductory classes I should take to give me just enough knowledge to get started?
Answers
Honestly, creating an AI model that handles both patient data and videos sounds like a significant challenge, possibly requiring advanced knowledge in both AI and medicine. It's usually not something a med student should be expected to do on their own. I suggest you go back to your instructor for clarification on the task. Have you verified exactly what they expect you to accomplish?

You might be looking to train a predictive model with patient info. For that, tools like TensorFlow or PyTorch could be helpful. But I'm curious about how the video fits into your project. Also, getting more detailed instructions from your teacher could help. If they expect a foundation-level model, they might not realize how complex this really is.

It sounds like a tough assignment, especially without any programming background! If you're aiming to build a model, Roboflow could simplify some aspects for you, but thereโs definitely a learning curve involved. Starting with some introductory courses in Python and machine learning would be really beneficial. Once you get the hang of the basics, you could potentially use something like a KNN classifier to make simple predictions based on medical data. Just keep in mind, the model might not be reliable enough for actual medical use, especially when it comes to video analysis.
