A LOOK BEHIND THE SCENES AT BIOMEDICAL INFORMATICS RESEARCH
Abstract:
This seminar provides an introductory overview of biomedical informatics research, focusing on the insights derived from Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and the computational methods that support evidence-based clinical applications, personalized healthcare, and precision medicine. Specific topics to be covered include medical data terminologies, clinical phenotyping, clinical decision support systems, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques like natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning in diverse clinical applications. The seminar will also feature the utilization of generative AI technologies such as the influential ChatGPT and GPT4 models in clinical contexts. By the end of this session, attendees will acquire a foundational understanding of biomedical informatics and its potential for catalyzing healthcare innovation.
