A former Bahrain student is making global waves in dentistry, having developed a groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that is set to streamline patient referrals worldwide.
Dr Shivani Shivkumar Mallishery, a 29-year-old Indian national who also had a short stint at a Manama clinic, has been internationally recognised for bridging the gap between AI and clinical practice. Her work has earned her the prestigious O-1 visa for individuals of ‘extraordinary ability’ in the US, where she now practises.
Dr Mallishery’s journey, which included training at Nair Hospital Dental College in Mumbai, led her to pursue advanced degrees in the US, including a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from the University of Colorado and a certificate of Advanced Clinical Training in Endodontics from UCLA School of Dentistry. She is also an alumna of the New Indian School in the kingdom.
Her acclaimed research, titled: ‘The precision of case difficulty and referral decision: an innovative automated approach’, introduced a machine-learning algorithm that boasts 94.9 per cent accuracy in recommending patient referrals to endodontic specialists.
This revolutionary study led to the creation of an Android application designed to assist students and practitioners globally in making efficient, data-driven referral decisions instantly.
