Event Summary
Join the NHLBI for a virtual workshop on Thursday, September 5th, 2024, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST, focused on thrombo-inflammation mechanisms, health disparities, and AI/ML applications in sepsis research.
Description
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is hosting a 1-day virtual workshop titled " Unraveling Sepsis: Thrombo-Inflammation Mechanisms, Health Inequities, and AI/ML Frontiers” – on Thursday, September 5th, 2024, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (EST). Participants will explore the interplay between the immune system and coagulation pathways, how these interactions contribute to sepsis progression and organ failure, and identify potential therapeutic targets. Additionally, the workshop will address health disparities in sepsis outcomes and examine how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies can predict sepsis onset, evaluate prognosis, and optimize patient management. This event promises to provide valuable insights and foster collaborative efforts to combat sepsis and improve patient outcomes worldwide.
Key Objectives:
- Health Disparities in Sepsis Treatment: Examine how common comorbidities affect sepsis progression, treatment, and outcomes. Identify the root causes of these disparities.
- Thrombo-Inflammation Mechanisms in Sepsis: Study the interaction between the immune system, coagulation pathways, and blood cells, and how this contributes to sepsis and organ failure. Identify therapeutic targets. outcomes.
- AI and ML in Sepsis Research: Investigate how AI and ML can predict sepsis onset, evaluate prognosis, predict mortality, and optimize management for early and individualized intervention.
