Over the past two years, the Lucy Family Institute has invited a variety of business, government, academic, and non-profit partners to campus as part of the Health Equity Data Forum. Each year, this has led to impactful research and data analysis questions. This year, the Health AI track will be part of the larger RISE AI Conference, allowing attendees to meet and colaborate with researchers, industry partners, and other stakeholders.
This year’s focal topic will be Rural Healthcare; exploring the issues of first and last mile challenges of data acquisition and application to dispersed communities. Rural healthcare topics include the mental health, transportation, availability/location of specialists, food accessibility, and availability/accessibility of people for clinical trials. Addressing these factors can significantly change outcomes for this population. This track will explore the possibilities of AI and data models to address these communities.
