Chair of FCI : Scientific Paper Winners (Winner and Runner Up)

Main Room - Panorama Suite

Data and digital technology are now being used in all aspects of research, innovation and healthcare, but how do we ensure that the entire healthcare system benefits from these advanced technologies, specifically so that all people, especially those in underserved populations, receive the same quality of research benefit and care from innovations?
This talk will discuss the intersection of data science, health and equity, illustrated by the inequities rife in genomics (but no need to be a genomics expert to understand the talk!).
Studies of human genetics have largely focused on populations from WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) countries which has resulted in genomic insights that are not generalizable to all populations.
Most studies, trials and papers conclude with a call to action to recruit and use more diverse genomes, and yet the proportion of non-European ancestries in genomic studies is diminishing.
To address this gap, we must work across the whole pipeline of genomic research and health care delivery, from the populations we work with and the data we collect to the analyses we carry out and the availability of genetic testing.
This talk will cover the complex challenges of taking an end-to-end approach to diversifying health and genomic data involves, and what we might do to reduce bias in our data-driven systems in precision medicine - something Maxine and her team are trying to do via the Diverse Data initiative at Genomics England.

Case Study

Outcomes Based Healthcare have developed the clinically-derived person-level longitudinal Bridges to Health Segmentation Dataset at both National and ICB levels. The dataset consists of over 50 condition registers available across 6+ years nationally. We’ll be presenting what this looks like, how it’s being used, the methods used to combine clinical codes and logic across a number of datasets, and some of the technical aspects of processing large and complex datasets.

As the digital age accelerates, the healthcare sector faces up to challenges bigger than ever before. General AI offers new tools with advanced Artificial Intelligence that go beyond narrow, task-specific applications. This talk delves into the expansive capabilities of General AI and its potential to transform modern healthcare.

This panel session will be hosted by the:

• Federation for Informatics Professionals in health and care (FEDIP) 
• Association of Professional Healthcare Analysts (AphA) 
• British Computer Society (BCS) 
• Chartered Institute of Library Information Professionals (CILIP)

Poster: winners presentation

Prediction models are used to identify individuals who are at risk of poor outcomes and would benefit from preventative treatment.
They are widely used in cardiovascular disease prevention, cancer, mental health, and other domains. However, despite the availability of new methods (machine learning) and ever-expanding datasets, most models that are routinely used in the NHS are many years old, and few of them of have been evaluated for their effects on health outcomes.
We will present a new framework for the development, validation, and deployment of prediction models based on the concept of learning health systems and describe how new methods and technologies can contribute to better-personalised prevention for all.

Innovation Session - Careful Online

Innovation session: Digitalgerry Services & Bowtie in clinical risk

Innovation Session - BD

Join the panel to be part of a conversation which explores whether the offer of digital education can adequately equip the current healthcare workforce.

GP templates and secondary care eForms are used widely in patient record systems to support more complete data capture and adherence to structured workflows.
However, these useful tools are not always based on the best evidence or well-curated, with potential consequences for patient safety and practitioner workload. We will facilitate a 45’ interactive session during which participants will explore different kinds of templates and eForms, describe how we construct templates, discuss the sources of knowledge embedded in templates and debate whether a centrally-curated computable knowledge library could make this process more efficient and safer.
We will provide the international context of global initiatives such as MCBK to improve the use and curation of computable knowledge to support Learning Health Systems use interactive question-answering tools to poll participants during the session, and share the resulting insights for wider discussion.
Participants in this session will ideally have experience of using GP templates or EPR eForms but need have no expertise in constructing these tools.
Participation will result in a deeper understanding of the benefits and challenges of using and constructing templates and eForms and potential ways to maximise their benefits and overcome the challenges.
