Especially with increasing computerization in hospitals as a mode to improve efficiency and facilitate data collection, clinicians feel pressured to divide their time and attention between patients and the keyboard (confession — I am still a 3 finger typist). The science of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has many opportunities in the healthcare domain. With developments in technology and serious investment (some of it publicly funded), NLP has many opportunities to assist in health and healthcare — data captured from conversations, conversion of narrative text to structured data, and translation to Indian languages. CMC Vellore is partnering with IIIT-Hyderabad to organize this workshop at ICON 2024, at Chennai. We welcome participation from academia, industry and healthcare domains.&#10; &lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Workshop on Health Data Standards &amp; Security at CMC Vellore</title><link>https://zech.in/posts/workshop-health-data-standards-security-cmc-vellore/</link><pubDate>Sat, 16 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://zech.in/posts/workshop-health-data-standards-security-cmc-vellore/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Via &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/balukrishna-s/" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Balu Krishna Sasidharan&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;blockquote class="posterous_short_quote"&gt;&#10; &lt;p&gt;&#10; a short notice, in-person only.&lt;br /&gt;&#10; useful for people working with EMR; health data informatics and AI in health.&#10; &lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#10;&lt;div style="text-align:right;"&gt;&#10; &amp;mdash;&lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/balukrishna-s/"&gt;Balu Krishna Sasidharan&lt;/a&gt;&#10;&lt;/div&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;The Biomedical Informatics Unit at CMC Vellore organized a workshop on &lt;strong&gt;Health Data Standards &amp;amp; Security&lt;/strong&gt; (3–4 October 2023) at the New Exam Hall, CMC Bagayam Campus, Vellore — especially for those working with EMR, LIS design, and clinical and research databases.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Knowledge partners: CDAC NReS Centre (Pune) and DSIC, Bangalore.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>How can industry and healthcare engage better?</title><link>https://zech.in/posts/how-can-industry-and-healthcare-engage-better/</link><pubDate>Thu, 13 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://zech.in/posts/how-can-industry-and-healthcare-engage-better/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Panelists:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;ul&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;Dr Anand Philip, Medibuddy&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;Dr Lakshmi Panat, C-DAC Pune&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;Dr Shefali Karve, Sigtuple&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;Mr Arun Agrawal, Janithri&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;Mr Narayana Rao, Salcit Technologies&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;Mr Raghu Dharmaraju, ARTPARK&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;/ul&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Moderator:&lt;/strong&gt; Mr Arun Zechariah, CMC Vellore&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Panel discussion from the first National Symposium on Health Data &amp;amp; AI organised by the Biomedical Informatics Unit (BMIU) at the Christian Medical College Vellore from 17th – 18th March, 2023.
