Description:
Presenting the preliminary results from a clinical trial on the use of a digital
art tool for distress detection in hospitalized oncological patients. We will
discuss future applications of AI and machine learning in integrating art
therapy with digital medical data, highlighting implications for predictive
modeling in patient care.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will be able to analyze three key barriers to symptom expression in medical care and evaluate
their impact on patient-provider communication and clinical outcomes
- Participants will be able to identify four stages of art-based innovation from idea to clinical trial
- Participants will be able to identify three types of tasks performed by machine learning models in the
analysis of medical data and assessing their potential to enhance symptom detection
and patient care
