ABSTRACT
The revolution in biomedical technology that is allowing us to develop the concept of precision medicine has a fatal flaw. Medical science has focused on risk prediction in the hopes of using risk information to influence health behaviors. However, there is little evidence to support the notion that risk information alone influences individual behavior at scale. Concurrent with the development of the field of precision medicine is an even larger revolution in understanding of the behavior of populations using digital technology. Marketing, the science underlying these advances, offers tools and insights to help guide our understanding of how to translate risk information into behavior change. To date, marketing has been used for mass-customization of products and services outside of clinical medicine. For example, each of us has the opportunity to enjoy streaming video programs that suit our tastes and desires. This delightful consumer experience developed in an iterative fashion based on tight linkages between prediction and behavior. In this case, data are used to develop population segments that are likely to respond similarly to movie suggestions. In this talk, we’ll discuss how a better understanding of behavior in the health care realm, the Behaviorome, will help solve the last mile problem of Precision Medicine.

ABSTRACT
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging modality that offers exquisite resolution and soft-tissue contrast. It is an integral component in diagnostic radiology as well as in basic science research studies due its sensitivity in detecting subtle variations in tissue structure. While MRI can provide a rich source of information, typical acquisition times of 30-40 minutes can limit further widespread use, increase costs, and diminish the patient experience. Moreover, the high-resolution and multi-dimensional MRI datasets can also cause a challenge for efficient and accurate image interpretation. In this talk, through specific examples in musculoskeletal MRI, I will cover recent advances in MRI aided by classical engineering techniques as well as deep learning to substantially reduce the duration of MRI exams and for subsequent image analysis. I will describe how these efforts are helping change the paradigm of MRI by reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

Dr. Eric Dy Abstract
The period from conception through the first 1000 days of life are the most critical for lifelong health and development, yet too often we are failing women and babies at this time. High risk pregnancies are on the rise, access to care is increasingly a problem, and pregnancy complications such as preterm birth now affect 1 in 10 babies. Despite these growing challenges, the way we deliver prenatal care has not fundamentally changed in over 60 years. We need smarter tools, better data, and scalable solutions to improve the health of moms and babies globally.
In this talk Bloomlife co-founder and CEO will share their strategy for designing the future of prenatal care. He will discuss how clinical grade wearables, in the hands of mom, has helped create the largest dataset on pregnancy in the world, and how AI applied to this dataset is seeding breakthrough screening and diagnostic tools to help solve global maternal health issues including preterm birth.

ABSTRACT
Sweat is a complex fluid known to be rich in electrolytes, small molecules, and fatty acids. Although adults can sweat up to 10 liters per day, little is still known about the chemical composition of sweat, how this changes, and what are its implications for health and disease. We demonstrate a powerful approach to help elucidate this link, where collecting samples simply requires swabbing a glass slide across one’s forehead in less than 30 seconds. Using the combination of desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and statistical machine learning, our approach can successfully detect over 10,000 metabolites in sweat and identify metabolic changes in the sweat profile related to gender, age, and disease. As an example, we demonstrate in a cohort of 65 subjects the possibility of using just a few metabolites detected in sweat to successfully identify patients with renal disease. More generally, our approach suggests the possibility of using the sweat profile to non-invasively assess individual risk for metabolic diseases in the theme of “Precision Medicine.”
