Matt Gigot gave a seminar on an overview of the Wisconsin Statewide Health Information Network (WISHIN) and the capabilities of the electronic health information exchange. WISHIN is dedicated to bringing the benefits of widespread, secure, interoperable health information technology to patients and caregivers throughout Wisconsin. WISHIN captures information on patient demographics, problems and diagnosis, procedure information, lab results, encounter details, care team data, vital signs, medications, and allergies. WISHIN's data can be used for care coordination/transitions of care, real-time event notification, gaps in care identification, quality assessment/measurement, population health assessment, and knowledge of the care team. 

Dr. Melek Somai is an expert in health informatics and data engineering, two very relevant fields to the research done here in AN.ai lab. Dr. Somai is especially interested in the impact of information technology and data in shaping the provision of care and the development of new approaches to public and global health using data science. Inception Health partnered with the Froedtert & MCW health network to build a multidisciplinary team to collaborate with innovative companies to develop and scale up digital solutions across the health network.  

Dr. Sarah Kerns gave a seminar titled "GWAS: Prostate Cancer Radiotherapy". Dr. Kerns work in the Department of Radiation Oncology focuses on genetic and other host factors that predispose patients to the development of adverse reactions to cancer therapy, primarily radiotherapy. As such, this work is important for identifying novel targets for the prevention of side effects to radiation and developing risk prediction models to personalize cancer treatment for each and every patient.
