A new study published in Nature Partner Journals Digital Medicine revealed the barriers to machine learning adoption within clinics; however, the study suggests that clinicians can build trust with machine learning through experience.

The study, led by researchers at Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was conducted through a series of interviews with 20 clinicians who used a machine learning system to monitor for sepsis in their practice, according to the July 21 study.

Four takeaways from the study:

1. Clinicians did not differentiate machine learning from traditional clinical decision support system technology. However, this caused clinicians to misunderstand the internal logic of machine learning.
2. Clinicians used machine learning systems for both diagnosis and post-diagnosis care. The...
