Join Us for an Evening of Medical Data Science and Pizza
Indulge in an opportunity to explore the combination of medicine and data science at this Amsterdam Medical Data Science (AMDS) event. This gathering aims to bridge the gap in data science within the medical field while savoring delicious pizza.
Presentations:
- Appropriate use of Blood Cultures in the emergency department through machine learning - S.C. (Sheena) Bhagirath | MD, PhD-candidate Amsterdam UMC
In this presentation, Sheena Bhagirath will address the application of AI with the aim to significantly reduce uncesseracy blood cultures in Emergency Departments. Together with her 'Acute-AI team' led by internist Prabath Nanayakkara, the goal is to improve efficiency of patient care by reducing costs and minimising the risks associated with over-treatment due to false-positive results. - Treatment Response Prediction in Major Depressive Disorder Using Multimodal MRI and Clinical Data - Maarten Poirot | Technical Physician, PhD-candidate Amsterdam UMC
In his presentation, Maarten Poirot will talk about the use of AI, brain scans, and patient-specific clinical information to predict whether an antidepressant will work. His work, together with Professor of Translational Neuroradiology and Neuroradiologist Liesbeth Reneman, addresses the long wait times typically needed to determine medication efficacy. The current results are remarkable, especially given the expectation by the WHO that depression will become the leading cause of disease burden worldwide by 2030
The presentations will be followed by discussions and networking opportunities, all accompanied by the delight of pizza.
