We sat down with Dave DeCaprio to talk about predicting preventive interventions in healthcare, designing for explainability, bias and fairness, as well as building a domain-specific language to operate the platform, working on the human genome project and the forthcoming healthcare data revolution.


Dave is the CTO & Co-founder at ClosedLoop.ai. Purpose-built for healthcare, ClosedLoop is a data science platform built specifically and exclusively for healthcare that combines an intuitive automated machine learning platform with a comprehensive library of healthcare-specific features and model templates. Customers use ClosedLoop's Explainable AI to drive clinical excellence, operational efficiency, value-based contracts, and enhanced revenue. 

Example applications include predicting unplanned hospital admissions, recommending palliative care, predicting total utilization/cost, preventing ED over-utilization, reducing out-of-network utilization, avoiding appointment no-shows, predicting chronic disease onset or progression, improving clinical documentation and reimbursement, and dozens more.
