University of Arkansas computer science professor Justin Zhan, PhD, will lead the research project. The cloud computing modules developed by Dr. Zhan’s team will help biomedical researchers understand how artificial intelligence can help analyze big data in a medical setting, according to the Aug. 1 news release.
The NIH awarded $140,135 in funding for the project.
“Big data is transforming health and biomedical science,” Dr. Zhan said. “The new technology is rapidly expanding the quantity and variety of imaging modalities, for example, which can tell doctors so much more about their patients. But this transformation has created challenges, particularly with storing and managing massive data sets. Also, while the big data revolution transforms biology and medicine into data-driven sciences, traditional education is responding slowly. Addressing this shortcoming is part of what we’re trying to do.”
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
