- DescriptionTitle: Learning to Care: Can AI/ML help fix the U.S. Healthcare System?
Speaker: Dr. Jeffrey Humpherys, Missouri S&T University
Abstract: The healthcare ecosystem is a complex network of patients, providers, and payers that involves a variety of nuanced decision-making processes. We give an overview of some of the challenges in the US Healthcare System and the role that AI/ML can play in helping to manage and inform clinical decisions. Specifically, we highlight two areas of research: (i) the development of computational phenotypes (or medical concepts) to improve clinical understanding and (ii) the application of AI/ML for survival analysis which can inform personalized treatment strategies. Through these efforts, AI/ML has the potential to significantly enhance both the precision and efficiency of healthcare delivery.
The lecture is open to a general audience, all students, faculty and staff are welcome!
