SUMMARY:IN-PERSON EVENT: Health Data Science: The Real-World Opportunities and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:          \n  \nOur next event organised in partnership with the Leicester Life Sciences Accelerator (LLSA) at the University of Leicester focuses on the sector’s hot topic of 2023 – health data science. The event will be held at Space Park\, Leicester and brings together academics\, clinicians and industry to explore the breadth of opportunities in this field\, as we move increasingly towards digital solutions. Yet the session also unpacks the significant challenges in this area\, considering the barriers to gaining access to health data and utilising this data to develop successful digital solutions or service improvements in the real world. \nOur first panel will include researchers and decision makers in this area\, who will outline the latest academic and clinical health data science contexts. The second panel of presentations will feature talks from companies working in and with health data science\, to extend our discussion of its real-world applications and opportunities for industrial and commercial partners. \nProgramme\n09:30 – Delegate arrival\, registration & refreshments \n09:55 – Introduction to the LLSA from Professor Toru Suzuki\, Academic Lead for the LLSA and Chair of Cardiovascular Medicine and Honorary Consultant Cardiologist\, University of Leicester (Video) \n10:00 – Panel 1 – Professor Tim Coats\, Dr Rob Free\, Dawn Plummer + Q&A and Panel discussion \n11:00 – BREAK – Refreshments and networking \n11:30 – Panel 2 – SME Showcase – Methods Analytics (Richard Oakley)\, iethico (Debra Ainge)\, Vuit Online (Clare Higgins)\, CheckUp Health (Fungai Ndemera) + Q&A and Panel discussion \n12:30 – Lunch and networking \n13:30 – Close \n  \nSpeaker Profiles\n \nProfessor Tim Coats\, Professor of Emergency Medicine\, University of Leicester \nPresentation Title: “NHS Data: What\, Where and How” \nTim Coats trained in Emergency Medicine in Leeds and London\, developing a particular interest in pre-hospital trauma care\, and completing an MD thesis in 1996 on using AI methods to incorporate of patterns of change in physiology in a predictive model of outcome following injury. He trained in prehospital care with the London Helicopter Emergency Medical Service from 1990 to 1996 \nFollowing appointed as a Senior Lecturer at Barts and The London in 1996 with consultant responsibility for the London HEMS service\, he moved to the University of Leicester as Professor of Emergency Medicine in 2003. He is a past Chair of the College of Emergency Medicine Research Committee\, past Chair of the NIHR National Specialist Group for Injuries and Emergencies\, and currently Chairs the Trauma Audit and Research Network (TARN). In 2022 he became a NIHR Senior Investigator. His research interests are changes in coagulation following major trauma\, artificial intelligence in healthcare ‘big data’ applications\, and non-invasive monitoring in the diagnosis of sepsis in emergency care. \n \nDr Rob Free\, Lecturer in Health Data Science at University of Leicester and Director of Informatics at Leicester Biomedical Research Centre \nPresentation Title: “Data Science Opportunities in the Leicester BRC” \nRob Free is a Lecturer in Health Data Science at the University of Leicester and the Director of Informatics for the NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre (BRC). His own research focuses on the use of advanced data science (including artificial intelligence and machine learning) to develop and translate models and technologies into data-driven approaches for improving healthcare outcomes. As Director of Informatics\, he is overseeing the BRC’s new Health Informatics Platform which endeavours to facilitate and develop exciting multi-disciplinary collaborations and partnerships. \n \nDawn Plummer\, Digital Lead\, East Midlands Academic Health Science Network \nPresentation Title: “EMAHSN – Who we are\, how we support innovators and current digital trends in local NHS” \nDawn Plummer is the Digital Lead at the EMAHSN\, working within the Innovation Pipeline Delivery team\, seeking to match innovations with known needs in our local networks.
