I’m a Mechatronics Engineering student passionate about using Python to solve real-world problems. I’m actively involved in several Python-focused communities, including ML Collective Nigeria, where I currently lead the Medical Imaging Focus Group. I’m also a Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador and a member of AfricaAI, the largest community of Africans improving medical imaging with AI. On campus, I serve as the co-lead of machine learning at the Google Developer Student Club, where I help others explore the power of AI. My Python journey began with web development using Flask and Django, but my current focus is on research in deep learning for medical imaging—applying computer vision to health challenges in low-resource settings.

Why Your Medical AI Model Might Not Work in Africa: A Python Guide to Measuring Bias
Ilerioluwakiiye Abolade

Medical AI models often fail in African settings due to hidden dataset and model biases. This talk shows how to detect and measure bias in medical imaging using Python. We will explore real examples with MRI and X-ray data, learn subgroup performance analysis, apply fairness improvements, and discuss practical lessons for building more reliable and equitable healthcare AI.
