Reinventing medicine with AI

+

+
+

Abstract

+

Many medical breakthroughs start with an empirical observation: a curious, unexplained pattern seen in real patients. Underlying mechanisms, unknown at first, are later mapped out in careful experiments. This “bedside to bench” pathway for discovery is less and less common —both because low-hanging fruit has been picked, and because doctors today have little time for observation. I’ll give a few examples of how artificial intelligence can help reboot this pathway: AI is a powerful engine for generating novel empirical observations in real-world data, many of them invisible to the human eye. Translating facts ‘discovered’ by AI into (i) improvements in clinical care and (ii) scientific discoveries are at the core of a new science of medicine, powered by data and computation.

+
+ +Biography + +Ziad Obermeyer is Associate Professor and Blue Cross of California Distinguished Professor at UC Berkeley. He teaches at School of Public Health and was a founding member of the Berkeley–UCSF joint program in Computational Precision Health. His research uses machine learning to help doctors make better decisions, and help researchers make new discoveries by ‘seeing’ the world the way algorithms do. His work on algorithmic racial bias has been highly influential in shaping how health care organizations and policy makers hold AI accountable, from work with state Attorneys-General to testimony before the Senate Finance Committee. He is a cofounder of Nightingale Open Science and Dandelion Health, a Chan–Zuckerberg Biohub Investigator, and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. He was named one of the 100 most influential people in AI by TIME Magazine. Previously, he was Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School, and he continues to practice emergency medicine in underserved communities. +

This language barrier significantly restricts access for individuals who do not speak English proficiently. As a result, Spanish-speaking communities often face considerable challenges in accessing software training opportunities. This disparity leads to inequities in the distribution and utilization of scientific technologies, which is particularly concerning given the increasing importance of digital skills nowadays. To mitigate these challenges and promote inclusivity, we propose conducting a programming workshop in Spanish during the conference. This initiative aims to bridge the gap by providing Spanish-speaking participants with equal opportunities to engage with and benefit from technological advancements. By doing so, we not only enhance individual capabilities but also contribute to a more equitable distribution of educational resources in the scientific community. This workshop will equip attendees with basic skills in R. Our primary objective is to familiarize participants with RStudio and its key features for generating reproducible reports. We will guide attendees through the process of creating and managing projects in RStudio and introduce them to creating reproducible manuscripts using Quarto documents. The workshop will utilize a publicly available dataset from the CDC, which contains information on drug use and suicidal ideation among adolescents, as a practical example of using R for academic research in public health. We will explain how to use functions such as filter, mutate, summarize, and select from the tidyverse suite of packages. We will conclude by demonstrating how to use ggplot2 to create visualizations in R. By the end of the workshop, participants will have created a, reproducible document in HTML format, detailing the data cleaning steps and analysis of a significant, contemporary social issue. This presentation aims to close the gap in programming literacy among Spanish-speaking researchers and promote methods for reproducible scientific inquiry.\n\n\nDescripción\nA pesar de los abundantes recursos disponibles para aprender R, la mayoría de estos materiales son accesibles principalmente para angloparlantes. Esta barrera del idioma restringe significativamente el acceso de personas que no hablan inglés con fluidez. Como resultado, las comunidades de habla hispana a menudo enfrentan desafíos considerables para acceder a oportunidades de capacitación en software. Esta disparidad conduce a desigualdades en la distribución y utilización de las tecnologías científicas, lo que es particularmente preocupante dada la creciente importancia de las habilidades digitales en la actualidad. Para mitigar estos desafíos y promover la inclusión, proponemos realizar un taller de programación en español durante la conferencia. Esta iniciativa tiene como objetivo cerrar la brecha brindando a los participantes de habla hispana igualdad de oportunidades para interactuar y beneficiarse de los avances tecnológicos. Al hacerlo, no sólo mejoramos las capacidades individuales sino que también contribuimos a una distribución más equitativa de los recursos educativos en la comunidad científica. Este taller equipará a los asistentes con habilidades básicas en R. Nuestro objetivo principal es familiarizar a los participantes con RStudio y sus características clave para generar informes reproducibles. Guiaremos a los asistentes a través del proceso de creación y gestión de proyectos en RStudio y les presentaremos la creación de manuscritos reproducibles utilizando documentos Quarto. El taller utilizará un conjunto de datos disponible públicamente de los CDC, que contiene información sobre el uso de drogas y la ideación suicida entre adolescentes, como un ejemplo práctico del uso de R para la investigación académica en salud pública. Explicaremos cómo utilizar funciones como filtrar, mutar, resumir y seleccionar del conjunto de paquetes tidyverse. Concluiremos demostrando cómo usar ggplot2 para crear visualizaciones en R. Al final del taller, los participantes habrán creado un documento reproducible en formato HTML, detallando los pasos de limpieza de datos y el análisis de un problema social contemporáneo importante. Esta presentación tiene como objetivo cerrar la brecha en la alfabetización en programación entre los investigadores de habla hispana y promover métodos para la investigación científica reproducible.\n\n\n\n\n\nCatalina Canizares-Escobar and Francisco Cardozo\n \nCatalina Cañizares is a passionate data scientist and a Ph.D. candidate in Social Welfare, dedicated to using data to gain insights into emotional disorders.

Underlying mechanisms, unknown at first, are later mapped out in careful experiments. This “bedside to bench” pathway for discovery is less and less common —both because low-hanging fruit has been picked, and because doctors today have little time for observation. I’ll give a few examples of how artificial intelligence can help reboot this pathway: AI is a powerful engine for generating novel empirical observations in real-world data, many of them invisible to the human eye. Translating facts ‘discovered’ by AI into (i) improvements in clinical care and (ii) scientific discoveries are at the core of a new science of medicine, powered by data and computation.\n\n\nBiography\n\nZiad Obermeyer is Associate Professor and Blue Cross of California Distinguished Professor at UC Berkeley. He teaches at School of Public Health and was a founding member of the Berkeley–UCSF joint program in Computational Precision Health. His research uses machine learning to help doctors make better decisions, and help researchers make new discoveries by ‘seeing’ the world the way algorithms do. His work on algorithmic racial bias has been highly influential in shaping how health care organizations and policy makers hold AI accountable, from work with state Attorneys-General to testimony before the Senate Finance Committee. He is a cofounder of Nightingale Open Science and Dandelion Health, a Chan–Zuckerberg Biohub Investigator, and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. He was named one of the 100 most influential people in AI by TIME Magazine. Previously, he was Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School, and he continues to practice emergency medicine in underserved communities.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nErin LeDell" }, { "objectID": "index.html#brought-to-you-by", @@ -137,14 +151,14 @@ "href": "Abstracts.html", "title": "R/Medicine 2025", "section": "", - "text": "We are seeking Abstracts for:\n\nLightning talks (10 min, Thursday or Friday Jun2-13) Can pre-record so that you can be live on chat to answer questions\nRegular talks (20 min, Thursday or Friday June 12-13) Can pre-record so that you can be live on chat to answer questions\nDemos - (1 hour demo of an approach or a package, Wednesday June 11) Done live, preferably interactive\nWorkshops - 2-3 hours on a topic, on Monday or Tuesday June 9-10, usually with a website and a repo, participants can choose to code along.

    Description

    +

    Despite the abundant resources available for learning R, most of these materials are primarily accessible to English speakers. This language barrier significantly restricts access for individuals who do not speak English proficiently. As a result, Spanish-speaking communities often face considerable challenges in accessing software training opportunities. This disparity leads to inequities in the distribution and utilization of scientific technologies, which is particularly concerning given the increasing importance of digital skills nowadays. To mitigate these challenges and promote inclusivity, we propose conducting a programming workshop in Spanish during the conference. This initiative aims to bridge the gap by providing Spanish-speaking participants with equal opportunities to engage with and benefit from technological advancements. By doing so, we not only enhance individual capabilities but also contribute to a more equitable distribution of educational resources in the scientific community. This workshop will equip attendees with basic skills in R. Our primary objective is to familiarize participants with RStudio and its key features for generating reproducible reports. We will guide attendees through the process of creating and managing projects in RStudio and introduce them to creating reproducible manuscripts using Quarto documents. The workshop will utilize a publicly available dataset from the CDC, which contains information on drug use and suicidal ideation among adolescents, as a practical example of using R for academic research in public health. We will explain how to use functions such as filter, mutate, summarize, and select from the tidyverse suite of packages. We will conclude by demonstrating how to use ggplot2 to create visualizations in R. By the end of the workshop, participants will have created a, reproducible document in HTML format, detailing the data cleaning steps and analysis of a significant, contemporary social issue. This presentation aims to close the gap in programming literacy among Spanish-speaking researchers and promote methods for reproducible scientific inquiry.

    A pesar de los abundantes recursos disponibles para aprender R, la mayoría de estos materiales son accesibles principalmente para angloparlantes. Esta barrera del idioma restringe significativamente el acceso de personas que no hablan inglés con fluidez. Como resultado, las comunidades de habla hispana a menudo enfrentan desafíos considerables para acceder a oportunidades de capacitación en software. Esta disparidad conduce a desigualdades en la distribución y utilización de las tecnologías científicas, lo que es particularmente preocupante dada la creciente importancia de las habilidades digitales en la actualidad. Para mitigar estos desafíos y promover la inclusión, proponemos realizar un taller de programación en español durante la conferencia. Esta iniciativa tiene como objetivo cerrar la brecha brindando a los participantes de habla hispana igualdad de oportunidades para interactuar y beneficiarse de los avances tecnológicos. Al hacerlo, no sólo mejoramos las capacidades individuales sino que también contribuimos a una distribución más equitativa de los recursos educativos en la comunidad científica. Este taller equipará a los asistentes con habilidades básicas en R. Nuestro objetivo principal es familiarizar a los participantes con RStudio y sus características clave para generar informes reproducibles. Guiaremos a los asistentes a través del proceso de creación y gestión de proyectos en RStudio y les presentaremos la creación de manuscritos reproducibles utilizando documentos Quarto. El taller utilizará un conjunto de datos disponible públicamente de los CDC, que contiene información sobre el uso de drogas y la ideación suicida entre adolescentes, como un ejemplo práctico del uso de R para la investigación académica en salud pública. Explicaremos cómo utilizar funciones como filtrar, mutar, resumir y seleccionar del conjunto de paquetes tidyverse. Concluiremos demostrando cómo usar ggplot2 para crear visualizaciones en R. Al final del taller, los participantes habrán creado un documento reproducible en formato HTML, detallando los pasos de limpieza de datos y el análisis de un problema social contemporáneo importante. Esta presentación tiene como objetivo cerrar la brecha en la alfabetización en programación entre los investigadores de habla hispana y promover métodos para la investigación científica reproducible.

Underlying mechanisms, unknown at first, are later mapped out in careful experiments. This “bedside to bench” pathway for discovery is less and less common —both because low-hanging fruit has been picked, and because doctors today have little time for observation. I’ll give a few examples of how artificial intelligence can help reboot this pathway: AI is a powerful engine for generating novel empirical observations in real-world data, many of them invisible to the human eye. Translating facts ‘discovered’ by AI into (i) improvements in clinical care and (ii) scientific discoveries are at the core of a new science of medicine, powered by data and computation. + +
    + Biography +Ziad Obermeyer is Associate Professor and Blue Cross of California Distinguished Professor at UC Berkeley. He teaches at School of Public Health and was a founding member of the Berkeley–UCSF joint program in Computational Precision Health. His research uses machine learning to help doctors make better decisions, and help researchers make new discoveries by ‘seeing’ the world the way algorithms do. His work on algorithmic racial bias has been highly influential in shaping how health care organizations and policy makers hold AI accountable, from work with state Attorneys-General to testimony before the Senate Finance Committee. He is a cofounder of Nightingale Open Science and Dandelion Health, a Chan–Zuckerberg Biohub Investigator, and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. He was named one of the 100 most influential people in AI by TIME Magazine. Previously, he was Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School, and he continues to practice emergency medicine in underserved communities. +
