CRI Year in Review 2025

🧪 Awesome Clinical Research Informatics Year in Review by @genomegal.bsky.social at the @amiainformatics.bsky.social Informatics Summit.

Check out her slides which cover:
• LLMs for Clinical Trials
• Learning Health Systems
• Digital Twins
• Bias & Health Equity
& more!

🩺💻 #MLSky #IS25

Thank you @amiainformatics.bsky.social for an having me for another fun Translational Bioinformatics Year in Review! #YIR25 #IS25

Here are the slides of the top papers of the year:
tatonettilab-resources.s3.amazonaws.com/TBI-Year-in-...

Day 2 of @amiainformatics.bsky.social #IS25 - great start with @tatonetti.bsky.social delivering the #TBI year in review (complete with soundtrack)!

@amiainformatics.bsky.social #IS25 keynote highlights work from CMU Delphi Group and introduces concept of “backcasting” and “nowcasting” - it’s why epi forecasting is harder than predicting the weather and describes a LOT of what we do in #informatics!

Excited to kick off @amiainformatics.bsky.social #IS25 in Pittsburgh. This meeting, our community and its science, and our values have never been more important!

Master AI literacy and practical skills for health research in AcademyHealth’s “Leveraging AI for High-Impact Health Research” course! Enroll by March 20 for the April 3-24, 2025 session.
