In the spirit of the now extremely successful Geospatial Deep Learning resources & study group started by @daveluo and Time series/ sequential data study group started by @oguiza, this discussion thread is dedicated as a resource sharing and gathering space for people enthusiastic about applying deep learning techniques and what we have learned in Part 1 and will learn in Part 2 to solve the challenges we face in medicine and healthcare.
To get things started, here is a list of resources and recent relevant posts. This post should be made a wiki soon and you will be able to add your content in no time.
If any of you are enthusiastic about healthcare and want to focus on related applications when taking Part 1/2, please leave a reply below and tell us what you want to work on. It would be super exciting to work with a group of fellow fastai students to understand, implement, and possibly beat the papers in this field!
Overview

Applications
-
Clinically applicable deep learning for diagnosis and referral in retinal disease
- A group of researchers mostly from Deep Mind, London. Here is an accompanying website announcement that might provide a more friendly overview of the paper.
- Dermatologist-level classification of skin cancer with deep neural networks
- Development and Validation of a Deep Learning Algorithm for Detection of Diabetic Retinopathy in Retinal Fundus Photographs
- Prediction of cardiovascular risk factors from retinal fundus photographs via deep learning
- Identifying facial phenotypes of genetic disorders using deep learning
- Cardiologist-level arrhythmia detection and classification in ambulatory electrocardiograms using a deep neural network
You could always find more here in the medicine category of Papers with Code.
