Establishing Causality in product management

# The 9 Bradford-Hill Criteria for Establishing Causality: Industry Examples The Bradford-Hill criteria, established by Sir Austin Bradford Hill in 1965, provide a framework for determining whether an observed association is likely to be causal. These nine criteria have become fundamental tools in epidemiology, but their application extends far beyond healthcare into various industries. This article explores each criterion with three practical examples from different sectors. ## 1. STRENGTH: How large is the association? The strength criterion examines the magnitude of the observed association between a potential cause and effect. **Healthcare Industry:** The exceptionally strong association between smoking and lung cancer (smokers are 15-30 times more likely to develop lung cancer than non-smokers) was one of the first compelling pieces of evidence that smoking causes cancer. **Technology Industry:** A strong correlation exists between screen time before bed and sleep disruption.

AI Agent queries people ask from Chat GPT

 Trends emerging in the types of queries people have about implementing AI. Here are a few common patterns: 1. Industry-Specific Use Cases Healthcare : How to deploy AI for diagnostics, personalized medicine, or patient record management. Manufacturing : Optimizing production lines with predictive maintenance and quality control. Retail : Personalization engines, dynamic pricing, and supply chain optimization. Finance : Fraud detection, portfolio optimization, and customer service bots. Education : AI tutors, automated grading, and adaptive learning systems. 2. Infrastructure and Tools Many ask about tech stacks for AI implementation, such as using PyTorch or TensorFlow for training models, and AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud for deployment. Questions about scalability , like ensuring the AI system handles large loads effectively. 3. Ethics and Regulations Queries focus on ensuring AI systems are fair, transparent, and explainable . Compliance with privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA). 4....

IoT Technologies , Protocols, stacks, resources

A. Examples of IoT applications from different industries for each specified element: Actuators Industry: Automotive Example: Automatic Braking Systems in Vehicles Actuators are used in automatic braking systems to apply pressure to the brake pads when a collision risk is detected. Sensors monitor proximity, speed, and environmental changes, and the actuator responds by engaging the braking mechanism to prevent a collision. Embedded Systems Industry: Healthcare Example: Wearable Health Monitoring Devices Embedded systems are used in wearable devices like smartwatches or fitness trackers. These devices monitor vital signs (e.g., heart rate, blood pressure) using sensors and process the data using microcontroller-based embedded systems to provide insights into a user’s health in real-time. Intelligent Devices Industry: Agriculture Example: Smart Irrigation Systems Intelligent devices in smart agriculture use IoT capabilities to optimize irrigation schedules. These devices compute soil mo...
