Event Details
This presentation will cover research and applications of data science and artificial intelligence at the Children’s Hospital of Orange County. Studies and applications encompassing classical machine learning, causal inference, NLP, and computer vision will be presented. Real-world challenges to data science in health care will also be covered in all cases.
Speaker
Dr. Louis Ehwerhemuepha leads the research data science program at the Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) as the Director of Computational Research. He built and works with a diverse team to develop and manage a pediatric data science research program that supports CHOC's mission to nurture, advance, and protect the health and well-being of children. His team of data scientists and engineers leverage machine learning, explainable AI, and statistical methods to generate insights and solutions for various clinical and operational challenges. This includes applications across all modality of clinical data from structured real-world EHR data to images and clinical notes.
In collaboration with clinicians, researchers, and administrators, he designs and deploys data science models in the EHR, enabling improved decision making, patient outcomes, and quality of care. He is an associate adjunct professor of pediatrics in UCI, and an adjunct faculty with the Schmid College of Science at Chapman University. He is passionate about advancing the field of pediatric and lifespan data science, and fostering a culture of innovation and excellence at CHOC and across the US.
