In October, Dean A. Regier, Deirdre Weymann, Emanuel Krebs, Vicki Cormack, and Steven Jones visited Aga Khan University (AKU) in Nairobi to represent the ATM at a workshop titled Towards a Next-Generation Health System: Integrating Genomics, Bioinformatics, EHR, Data Mining, and Population Health for Data-Driven Clinical Decision Making.
The workshop brought together researchers, clinicians, and policy experts to explore how genetic information and health-system data can be combined to improve care. Discussions centered on how these tools can support better decisions for both individual patients and populations, especially in the growing area of non-communicable diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
As part of our ongoing partnership with AKU, our team led and contributed to sessions on real-world evidence across the full patient journey, the use of artificial intelligence to support learning health systems, and advances in personalized onco-genomics. These sessions highlighted practical ways to use data and technology to strengthen health systems and improve outcomes.
