Seeing the random forest through the decision trees. Supporting learning health systems from histopathology with machine learning models: Challenges and opportunities

This paper discusses some overlooked challenges faced when working with machine learning models for histopathology and presents a novel opportunity to support “Learning Health Systems” with them. Initially, the authors elaborate on these challenges after separating them according to their mitigation...

description This paper discusses some overlooked challenges faced when working with machine learning models for histopathology and presents a novel opportunity to support “Learning Health Systems” with them. Initially, the authors elaborate on these challenges after separating them according to their mitigation strategies: those that need innovative approaches, time, or future technological capabilities and those that require a conceptual reappraisal from a critical perspective. Then, a novel opportunity to support ''Learning Health Systems'' by integrating hidden information extracted by ML models from digitalized histopathology slides with other healthcare big data is presented.
