Join us for the upcoming Amazon Warehouse Las Vegas Meetup on Wednesday, August 31. The event will focus on “Developing Intelligent Healthcare Solutions on AWS,” with a particular emphasis on machine learning applications.
You can find more details on the Meetup page. Dr. Emily Parker, a Project Manager in Bioinformatics at the Nevada Cancer Research Institute, will present on OncoVista, an innovative open-source web application designed for the analysis of molecular and clinical data. OncoVista empowers researchers to identify new patterns and correlations to advance the field of cancer research.
Also speaking will be James Thorne, a Solutions Architect at AWS with a background in statistics. His presentation will explore how to create intelligent healthcare applications using AWS and the Amazon Machine Learning Service (for more context, see this blog post). The discussion will concentrate on a prevalent issue in healthcare: minimizing patient readmissions.
Pre-Event Considerations
We encourage attendees to consider the following questions beforehand:
- What intelligent applications have you encountered or developed that utilize big data solutions to tackle challenges in healthcare?
- In what ways can machine learning assist you in addressing specific opportunities and challenges your organization faces?
