Countdown to Big Data in Precision Health: Where machine learning and clinical care intersect - Scope

At the University of Michigan, Jenna Wiens, PhD, an assistant professor of computer science and engineering, draws on her computational expertise to break down enormous data sets using machine learning. Ultimately, she hopes to improve disease modeling and to predict patient outcomes. She will be speaking at the Big Data in Precision Health conference on May 24. I recently emailed with her to learn more about her perspective on the convergence of computation, big data and health. In your lab, Machine Learning for Data-Driven Decisions, how do you approach the integration of big data and health care?
