S103- Decoding Health: AI and Big Data at the Frontier of Precision Medicine

Tuesday October 6, 2026 02:00 - 03:00 UTC

This session explores how artificial intelligence and data science are driving the next generation of precision medicine, drawing on large-scale biobanks, electronic health records (EHRs), and genomic data from both academia and industry. Dr. Marie Loh (Nanyang Technological University / Genome Institute of Singapore) will discuss translational opportunities from HELIOS-SG100K, a multi-ethnic Asian population cohort with rich phenotypic and molecular data, with examples in cardiometabolic disease and atopic dermatitis. Ms. Chih-Ting Yang (Vanderbilt University) will use the All of Us Research Program to show how biobank data can be translated into longitudinal disease staging, illustrated through a study of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome. Dr. Sarah Lotspeich (Wake Forest University) will present an LLM-enhanced, ICD-10-based algorithm for recovering missing EHR data, demonstrating accuracy comparable to expert chart review at scale. Rounding out the session, Dr. Christine Hsiung will bring an industry perspective from the genetics sector, sharing applied research insights from Taiwan Biobank genomic data and translational pipelines. Together, these talks span academic and industry approaches, genomic profiling, longitudinal disease modeling, and AI-driven data quality methods, illustrating how data science is reshaping precision medicine across diverse populations and settings.
