Mind Your Data: The First Rule of Predictive Analytics in Clinical Research
Thursday Jun 16, 2022
Thursday Jun 16, 2022
The value of prediction can only be as good as the data it used to make its assumptions. With the growing use of AI, the focus has been more on the accuracy and validation of algorithms, however, we need to get back to the basics— the data. The better the data you put in, the better the insights that will come out.

What can an emerging Latin American region teach us when it comes to cyber risk management in the digital healthcare transformation?
We sit down with Roque Juarez, Security Intelligence Specialist at IBM in Mexico, to get an understanding of how basic principles can be critical to cyber threat management in connected healthcare systems regardless of whether you are an emerging or established economy. If you think COVID-19 pandemic slowed down the rate of threat, think again.
Tune in as Roque shares how COVID-19 made it more appealing for hackers to breach labs, healthcare systems, and any repository of patient health data and research.
