Description: One of the promising areas in medical research is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to analyze large sets of data in order to gain better understanding of the development of disease (pathogenesis) and the restoration of health (salutogenesis). Dr. Aaron Lee is a principal investigator on an exciting data generation project funded through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Common Fund’s “Bridge to Artificial Intelligence” (Bridge2AI) program. Bridge2AI seeks to create flagship, ethically sourced datasets, as well as best practice guidelines, to help researchers utilize AI/ML methods to address biomedical and behavioral research grand challenges. Dr. Lee’s project, AI-READI, is generating multimodal (i.e., combining various types/contexts of data), high-quality, and ethically sourced data that will be ready for AI/ML methods to study salutogenesis in the context of type 2 diabetes. The study is recruiting participants representing the diverse U.S. population and the spectrum from normal health to severely diabetic. In addition to describing the AI-READI study, Dr. Lee will also discuss researching the health of the whole person, not just separate organs or body systems, and provide examples of AI/ML advances from ophthalmology.
