This talk will draw on first-hand experience working across Ag-tech and the Health-care setting. The session will discuss wearable devices for cows "fitbit for cows", using deep learning to health-check cows, in-hive sensors to monitor and predict the health of bees, on-the-edge neural network computation to count bees in remote environments, and how AI is being used in Scotland to help predict risk in patients with chronic conditions.

Lenus Health were awarded a NHSX Phase 3 award to operationalize live AI models to aid in routine clinical care. The use case for this work has been developing a suite of models to help improve the well-being of patients with the long-term illness, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). This talk will address the challenges in developing and operationalizing AI models in a health care setting. We will discuss key issues around performance, generalizability, ethics, explainability, and data drift.
