Title of proposed idea:
|
Intelligence Augmentation - leveraging big data into the clinic
|
|
What is the major obstacle/challenge in the biomedical research field? What is needed to overcome this obstacle/challenge?
|
|
One major challenge as we enter the 'Big-Data' era... is the explosion of 'data'... yet the challenge for turning this into 'actionable information'... for the clinician, patient, and healthcare system.
This data can range from individualized genomics, sensor data (from wearable to environmental)... to published studies, guidelines, and standards.... which have complexity which are beyond the ability of an individual healthcare provider to keep up with, let alone integrate in a useful manner at the point of care...
Systems are needed to help augment the ability of the physician or healthcare provider to integrate and utilized available and emerging data. |
|
What emerging scientific opportunity is ripe for investment by the Common Fund?
|
|
The area of 'Artificial Intelligence'... or 'Intelligence Augmentation'.... to help integrate and make useful the increasing amounts of conent coming for example from 'omic's... ranging from genomics (low hanging fruit of Pharmacogenomics for example), proteomics, wearable device and mobile health data |
|
What are the potential Common Fund investments that could accelerate scientific progress in this field?
|
|
-Integrating data analytics
-Data storage and access (i.e. with increase in numbers of those with sequenced genomes)
-'Dashboard' type technology to communicate and interact with clinicians |
|
If a Common Fund program on this topic achieved its objectives, what would be the impact?
|
|
Impact would lead to improved prevention, diagnosis and therapeutic decision making... all with large individual as well as economic benefits... |
