In partnership with UBC Data Science and Health, join us to learn how AI and your data can transform heart failure and our health care system, featuring a panel discussion with VCHRI executive director Dr. Teresa Tsang.
Data is increasingly shaping our health care landscape. From electronic health records to wearable devices, huge amounts of data are generated every hour, offering insights into individual and community health trends, treatment efficacy and resource allocation. Analyzing these data can allow health care providers to personalize treatments, predict health outcomes and streamline operations for better patient care. However, realizing this potential will require access to large amounts of personal health information and advanced computational capabilities.
With clinical and research partners, UBC Data Science and Health is developing artificial intelligence algorithms that can analyze patient heart ultrasounds, or echocardiograms, and detect the presence of heart diseases in real time. The goal of this AI-guided tool is to support primary care so that patients have faster access to the echocardiograms they need to receive tailored health care in their own communities.
This event is open to all families, health care providers and knowledge keepers from B.C.’s communities who are invited to share perspectives, preferences, concerns and questions related to the development and deployment of AI tools for health care. These conversations will guide the practical applications of AI research and how best to implement these advances for the benefit of patients, families, and the community.
