Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.


Computing Researchers Respond to COVID-19: Operationalizing AI in Health

“Applying AI in real-world applications requires an understanding of operational realities and human workflows – especially in healthcare applications. My colleagues and I at Johns Hopkins APL are kicking off series of virtual events to look at this more closely, beginning on 4/21 with a focus on the use of AI technology to aid with the COVID-19 pandemic.”- Ashley Llorens, Chief of the Intelligent Systems Center at APL

As a precursor to the 2020 National Health Symposium, the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory is hosting a virtual event exploring Operationalizing AI in Health on April 21.

Event: Operationalizing AI in Health

Date: April 21, 2020

Time: 3:00pm ET – 4:30pm ET

Location: Online

This 90-minute event will bring together partners in the community – federal government, Department of Defense, academia and industry – to explore the role of AI in real-world healthcare settings. Experts will discuss scenarios, case studies and the challenges of operationalizing AI, including those associated with responding to the current Coronavirus pandemic.

Guiding the discussions will be Ashley Llorens, chief of the Intelligent Systems Center at APL; Adam Cohen, MD, Health Technologies program manager for the APL National Health Mission Area; and Erin Hahn, a national security analyst at the Laboratory.

This timely virtual event will include a panel discussion featuring:

  • Jeremy C. Pamplin, MD, Director, Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center; and Associate Professor of Medicine & Associate Professor of Military/Emergency Medicine, The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences
  • Gioel Molinari, President, Butterfly Network
  • M Brandon Westover, MD, Director, Massachusetts General Hospital’s Data Animation Center & Critical Care EEG Monitoring Service

There will also be an interview with Aaron Katz, who leads a team of data analysts at APL supporting the JHU COVID-19 Dashboard.
