Hi, I’m Anand Philip
I’m a family physician interested in how information technology can improve (or worsen) decision making in and outside healthcare.
This fuels Bold, my health-tech R&D practice where I build tools for my clients using the best technology for the problem. Sometimes these are ML/AI models and sometimes these are guidelines.

Ethics
I have put togeter a basic reading list and explanation of the main schools of thoughts about Ethics in AI [external link]
I am editing an Anthill Inside session on AI and Risk Mitigation. My co-editor Dr. Hannah Thomas and I are working with Health-AI companies to develop priorities, guidelines and resources for the use of AI in healthcare in India.

- Ethical Concerns in Use of AI in Healthcare A discussion with Dr. Olinda Timms
Semantic Search
Last year I did a deep dive into semantic and vector based search, made a poetry recommendation app and generally had a bunch of fun learning a lot of new stuff. If you’ve ever wanted better search, semantic search is one of the solutions. This is an area I am actively working on.
- What is semantic search and why do we want it. This is a non-technical explanation.
- Technical notes about semantic search and how to implement it
- The repo has training notebooks and more
Statistics
In collaboration with Medibuddy, I created a guide to conducting and selecting statistical tests using Python. This guide serves as a quick reference for their research team, promoting standardization and efficiency in research workflows. You can read the whole guide and run it on colab here:
- Parametric and non-parametric tests in python
- Watch the repo for further notebooks/installations as this is under active development
