Every healthcare and life sciences organization wants to accelerate innovation by incorporating AI into their business. In fact, machine learning has become essential for use cases such as patient risk scoring, real-world evidence analytics, genomics and more. However, most companies struggle with preparing large clinical and biomedical datasets for analytics, managing the proliferation of ML frameworks, and moving models in development to production.

In this workshop, we’ll cover best practices for using powerful open source technologies to simplify and scale your ML efforts. We’ll discuss how to leverage Apache Spark™, the de-facto data processing and analytics engine in enterprises today, for data preparation as it unifies data at massive scale across various sources. You’ll also learn how to use popular ML frameworks to train models for various healthcare and life sciences use cases. Also joining us for the session is Lingling Shen, PhD, Leader of Core Data & Analytics at Novartis, to share how she is successfully scaling informatics in the cloud.

Overview of Databricks in Healthcare & Life Sciences
