How AI could facilitate preventative healthcare | Deepak Gaddipati | TEDxBradley University

Yesterday, you went to the doctor when you didn't feel well, had some tests done, and received results and a care plan maybe a week later. Today, your smart watch might indicate that you’ve had an unusually high heart rate for a while, and it’s time to find out more, even if you feel fine. Tomorrow though, AI could offer a map of your future health— and the ability to change it. Explore how AI is the tool for making truly personalized healthcare a reality. Deepak is a technology visionary passionate about fixing healthcare. He gained expertise in machine vision, deep learning, and IoT while developing the first commercial full-body automated scanning system used in most U.S. airports.

In 2009, after his grandmother fell, broke her hip, and passed away shortly after due to an unnoticed fall risk, Deepak founded VirtuSense to proactively identify fall-risk in older adults.

His first product, VSTBalance, uses AI and machine vision to assess and compare results to population norms, identifying mobility deficits and tracking improvement. Since VSTBalance's 2014 launch, other AI and Lidar-enabled products have been developed to predict, prevent, and protect older adults from falls.

Deepak has developed VR-based simulators for the U.S. Army and created real-time facial recognition algorithms at Canfield Scientific to detect melanoma. He has received several grants and awards, contributed to scientific publications, and holds two patents. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
