Heal: a Framework for Health Equity Assessment Of Machine Learning Performance



Google Research 3:01 am on May 23, 2024


The study assessed health disparities in teledermatology case evaluations across diverse demographic groups using the HEAL metric, demonstrating potential for prioritizing performance on subgroups with worse outcomes. The method has limitations and requires further development to address real-world equity impacts of AI in dermatology comprehensively.

  • Study Overview: Evaluating health disparities via the HEAL metric on diverse teledermatology cases.
  • Disparities Identified: Prioritizing performance for subgroups with worse outcomes in dermatological conditions.
  • Method Limitations: The need for comprehensive assessment and refinement for practical applications.
  • AI Equity Impacts: Importance of developing holistic approaches to evaluate AI tools' impact on health equity.
  • Community Engagement: Proposing a community-driven approach for setting goals and measuring AI efficacy in reducing health disparities.
Category 1: Anthropic (as it pertains to the broader implications of AI on society) Category 2: Google Gemini (given its involvement with machine learning models and potential impact on public health technology).
