Scarcity of same-domain training data is a major challenge faced by the developers of novel medical technologies. While deep transfer learning (DTL) with large foundation models has proven effective for a variety of applications, it is unclear the extent to which models trained on data from very disparate domains can be effectively repurposed for new types of medical data. SandboxAQ has developed a novel magnetocardiography (MCG) device for providing real-time decision support to cardiologists. Hailey and Geoff discuss how their team used large-scale synthetic data and deep transfer learning to address the data scarcity challenges associated with developing novel medical technologies.
