Case studies

Volastra

Researchers at the Massachusetts General Brigham Neurology Department.

Question

Test if trained neurologists could accurately identify 6 common EEG findings within an expert-annotated dataset of EEGs, and if they could improve over a short time.

Method

Neurologists attending the annual three-day Critical Care EEG Monitoring Research Consortium Conference downloaded the DiagnosUs mobile application and shared their opinions on the EEGs. The app offered instructions and feedback as neurologists shared answers.

Findings

The results revealed that experts’ accuracy at identifying EEG findings improved with more exposure—in some classes, by over 150%.

ISIC

Across three labeling tasks including malignancy classification and lesion recognition, Centaur collected over half a million opinions from its network of experts. Recent research published in the Lancet assessed how accurate board-certified experts with 10+ years experience were at this multi-class skin-lesion labeling task. The performance of the Centaur’s network without any experience exclusion criteria was more accurate (78.1%, p<0.001, vs 74.7%) than those physicians.
