Deploying Cloud based Platforms and Analytic Tools to Support Covid 19 and Beyond-Deploying Cloud based Platforms and Analytic Tools to Support Covid 19 and Beyond (Webinar)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The Council of Medical Specialty Societies (CMSS), led by Helen Burstyn, has been running a series of webinars in collaboration with the AAMC and supported by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. These webinars are focused on advancing clinical registries to support pandemic treatment and response, with particular emphasis on leveraging data through rapid cycle learning and development amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. This specific session, the fourth in the series, concentrated on deploying cloud-based platforms and analytic tools to aid COVID-19 efforts.<br /><br />Experts David Glazer from Verily Life Sciences, Chris Tremel from the American College of Radiology, and Dr. Andrea Ramirez from Vanderbilt University shared their insights. David Glazer highlighted the capabilities of large-scale, cloud-based data platforms such as Terra, emphasizing collaborative workspaces and the integration of diverse data modalities. He also discussed the NIH All of Us Research Program, showcasing its scalable, secure platform for biomedical analysis.<br /><br />Chris Tremel detailed the federated model used in the MIDRC project, a virtual registry involving multiple organizations that focus on COVID-19 imaging and research. He described the complexities and governance required for multi-entity collaborations and introduced ACR Connect – a platform aiding the integration and anonymization of diverse data types from healthcare systems.<br /><br />Dr. Andrea Ramirez presented the efforts of the All of Us Research Program in gathering data from over 224,000 participants, with a focus on underrepresented groups. She highlighted their approach to handling and validating various data types, including survey data, physical measurements, and electronic health records. She also discussed the program’s rapid pivot to include COVID-19 relevant data, such as serology studies and rapid EHR updates.<br /><br />Together, these speakers underlined the transformative potential of cloud-based data platforms and federated registries, emphasizing collaborative approaches to integrate and analyze diverse data types effectively.
