The current pandemic has challenged many assumptions on the health of populations. Join Robert Davis Stevens, Director of Precision Medicine for Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, to discuss Precision Medicine as a disruptive framework which focuses on the specific characteristics and needs of the individual. Recent computational advances have enabled a dramatic escalation in the ability to capture, store, communicate and analyze large amounts of highly granular data on the health of populations and individual subjects. Extracting knowledge from these multi-dimensional data is possible with the help of relevant biological models, advanced statistical methods and artificial intelligence. Tune in as Dr. Stevens explains how effectively leveraging these methods represents a key to defeating pandemics and creating resilience at multiple scales.
