Survey and Evaluation of Hypertension Machine Learning Research
Summary
Machine learning (ML) is a technology used to automate tasks and make complex decisions, and it's becoming more popular in hypertension research. Du Toit and an international team of collaborators analysed 63 articles on hypertension-related ML research and suggest that improvements in reporting quality and validation methods are needed to fully realize the potential of ML in hypertension care. Specifically, they highlight that careful attention should be paid to appropriate calibration and external validation of machine learning algorithms, as well as addressing algorithmic bias and inequity.
