Keynote Presentation: “Data and Analytics for Global Health”

Research has been traditionally viewed as a purely academic undertaking, especially in limited-resource settings. Clinical trials, the hallmark of medical research, are expensive to perform, and take place primarily in countries which can afford them. Around the world, the blood pressure thresholds for hypertension, or the blood sugar targets for patients with diabetes, are established based on research performed in a handful of countries. There is an implicit assumption that the findings and validity of studies carried out in the US and other Western countries generalize to patients around the world. Learning using data science tools is the best medicine for population health, and that research should be an integral part of global health operations. Every patient encounter is an opportunity that we can learn from, and every healthcare provider should be a contributor and a custodian, and not merely a passive recipient, of the medical knowledge system.

Presentation: “Cloud Computing and Edged AI”

Children’s healthcare today is disconnected. Healthcare machines are not connected; people are not connected; information is not connected. It reminds me of the world before the Internet. The pediatric cloud is a project to connect all 1,000,000 healthcare machines in all the children’s hospitals in the world. It’s a state of the art infrastructure designed from the ground up to be secure, private, high performance, reliable and engineered around 5G. With such an infrastructure we imagine there will be 1000s of applications ranging from simple collaboration to being the infrastructure for building AI doctors across many disciplines and changing children’s healthcare on the planet.
