Join for an Expert Panel and Networking Session:

On May 18 and 19, the MIT ILP will host the 2023 MIT Health Datathon. This event is being organized by Dr. Leo Celi, who holds appointments at MIT, Harvard, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and seeks to address the issue of patient safety with a strong focus on health disparities, since treatment injuries disproportionately affect marginalized patient populations.

To engage with this dynamic assembly of experts in the field, ILP member companies are invited to join the evening portion of the Datathon, including a networking dinner and an expert panel featuring leaders in the field from industry, academia, and the startup community.

The panel will focus on key topics related to Health Equity, Patient Safety, the Future of AI in Healthcare, and Data Bias. Additionally, participants will share their perspective on recent advances in generative AI and implications for health equity, as well as highlight new directives from the White House and CMS that tie payments to health equity in the field.
