Join us for an engaging live Zoom event featuring Dr. Alysse Wurcel, a dedicated clinical scientist and thought leader whose work in translational science showcases the power of Natural Language Processing (NLP) to unlock information hidden in clinical data.
Dr. Wurcel’s NLP research identifies a difficult to uncover population – people who use drugs – and demonstrates the limitations of traditional Electronic Medical Record searches. Her work reveals how NLP can serve as a more effective, efficient, and ethical alternative to chart reviews. By incorporating NLP in her research, Dr. Wurcel not only identifies patients more accurately but creates the opportunity to improve care through earlier identification of at-risk populations in need of better access to care and services.
Why attend?
– Learn from Experts: Gain insights from Dr. Wurcel and our expert panelists on how NLP is transforming clinical and translational research. Understand how it serves as a bridge between raw data and tangible healthcare improvements.
– Build Strong Collaborative Teams: Explore the vital role of interdisciplinary collaboration in translational science. Learn how partnering with the right experts can strengthen your team and accelerate your research and clinical goals.
– Explore Ethical and Practical Dimensions: Dive into the ethical considerations and challenges of implementing NLP in healthcare settings. Understand the importance of language choices and how they can influence patient trust, engagement, and outcomes.
– Innovate in Patient Care: Engage with thought leaders about the future of patient care. Learn how adopting cutting-edge technologies like NLP can create more person-centered healthcare systems and contribute to a broader understanding of patient needs.
–Utilize the Translational Science Benefits Model: Analyze this case example to identify the wide-ranging benefits of your research, highlighting how these advantages impact interest holders across various disciplines.
