Join Australian Genomics’ DNA dialogue seminar “Harnessing AI for the early identification of patients with undiagnosed rare genetic diseases” featuring Professor Kym Boycott from the University of Ottawa, Canada.
The groundbreaking ThinkRare algorithm functions to find undiagnosed patients with Rare Disease using EMR data. How will the implementation of this algorithm as a clinical tool impact the diagnostic odyssey of rare disease patients? And what strategies could be used to improve the quality of data available in the electronic medical record?
