G'day foxy boy
Happy Australia Day to you and all fellow readers
! Hopefully the BBQ is working overtime and you're cracking open a few VB's.
All my own personal thoughts below:
Good effort for posting this however it is old, I believe it was issued after the failed SmartCough-C1 results, worth re-reading highlights MGH's efforts going forward for the second trial which was ultimately successful, as published as "Positive". I believe Massachusetts general will be pivotal in providing current clinical practice outcomes for respiratory disease, based on the latest data which I'm sure they are still vigorously analysing, highlighting the floors associated with the current practices even with all of the available tools, x-rays spirometry, blood tests etc. Thus highlighting the need for a further tool to enhance doctors accuracy levels. Bringing what really is an outdated method from the stone age to the present tech revolution. Doctors are in disagreement 33% of the time meaning their accuracy is really only 67.33%. Can't wait for the upcoming scientific review meeting showing a breakdown of the percentage outcomes from Smartcough-C2. Where doctors were in disagreement the results should be deemed as inconclusive. If they cannot agree on what particular respiratory disease the child has then it is just considered a professional guess in my opinion so who's to say the app is incorrect?! The true results therefore should be considered where two doctors were in
agreement which I believe from TK's comments at the last TechKnow conference are - our App is in the high 80s percentage wise when in agreement all around. This is the true accuracy of our AI from the large scale US study and I believe all of this will be published in a medical journal supported by MGH very soon. Taking 33% of the test subjects off the table from each individual respiratory disease should still consider the numbers to be statistically significant. The big boys know this that's why they're holding strong, hell that's why I'm holding strong! The sheep don't understand this. IMO they will be pleasantly surprised when results are published... The more I think about this the more I believe all six respiratory diseases will be incorporated in the detailed submission to the FDA. As soon as those damn croup results come in it'll be all systems go and lodgment should take place shortly after me thinks...
All the best for whatever it is you're doing on Australia Day, take care and happy investing...
Cheers
