Do no harm: a roadmap for responsible machine learning for health care

Interest in machine-learning applications within medicine has been growing, but few studies have progressed to deployment in patient care. We present a framework, context and ultimately guidelines for accelerating the translation of machine-learning-based interventions in health care. To be successful, translation will require a team of engaged stakeholders and a systematic process from beginning (problem formulation) to end (widespread deployment).In this Perspective, the authors present a framework, context and guidelines for accelerating the translation of machine-learning-based interventions in health care.
