Predicting Patient No-Shows: Evaluating the Effectiveness of No-Show Models in Dentistry
Date:
Tuesday, June 3, 2025
Time:
3:55 pm
Summary:
In the world of healthcare, operational efficiency and patient care often hinge on accurate predictions of patient behavior. This session delves into the development and evaluation of a “No Show Model” designed to predict whether a patient will attend their dental appointment. Henry Castellanos, Director of Data Science at Risas Dental and Braces, will share insights into the modeling process, focusing on the rigorous analysis conducted to determine the real value to patients and the organization overall in deploying existing models.
The session will highlight the role of Gooder.ai, a cutting-edge AI tool used to assess model performance, identify key improvements, and evaluate the real-world value these predictions bring to the organization. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of how to validate machine learning models for deployment, avoid common pitfalls in predictive modeling, and harness data-driven tools to enhance decision-making in healthcare settings. Whether you’re a data scientist or a healthcare professional, this session will provide actionable strategies for turning predictions into impact.

Summary:
In the medical device field, computer vision offers transformative potential to enhance patient outcomes and save lives. By applying CNN algorithms like YOLO, we can improve sterilization processes, detecting objects in inspection videos to meet critical safety standards. While these algorithms are powerful, real-world implementation reveals challenges: the lack of consensus in labeled data and the importance of aligning AI solutions with hospital workflows. Partnering closely with nursing staff who rely on these tools daily, Digineer is merging technical precision with practical usability, underscoring both the promise and the complexities of deploying AI in life-saving healthcare environments.
