#### Building Real-World Healthcare AI Projects from Concept to Production

###### Watch live on May 25 @ 2:00 p.m. ET

 

In this Webinar, Juan Martinez from John Snow Labs and Ken Puffer from ePlus will share lessons learned from recent AI, ML, and NLP projects that have been successfully built & deployed in US hospital systems:

- Improving patient flow forecasting at Kaiser Permanente
- A real-time clinical decision support platform for Psychiatry and Oncology at Mount Sinai
- Automated de-identification of 700 million patient notes at Providence Health 

Then they will showcase a live demo of the recently launched AI Workflow Accelerator Bundle for Healthcare, which provides a complete data science platform including supporting the full AI lifecycle: 

- Data analysis: Enable data analysts to query, visualize & build dashboards without coding  
- Data science: Enable data scientists to train models, share & scale experiments 
- Model deployment options
- Operations: Enable DevOps & DataOps engineers to monitor, secure, and scale 

The bundle is a turnkey solution composed of GPU-accelerated hardware from NVIDIA, proprietary software from John Snow Labs, and implementation services from ePlus. It is unique in providing all of the following healthcare-specific capabilities out of the box: 

- 2,300+ current, clean, and enriched healthcare datasets – from ontologies to benchmarks 
- Spark NLP for Healthcare - the most widely used NLP library in the healthcare industry – along with 250+ pre-trained clinical & biomedical NLP models for analyzing unstructured data 
- Spark OCR - including the ability to read, de-identify, and extract information from DICOM images 
- Security controls implemented within the platform, to enable a team of data scientists to effectively work & collaborate in air-gap, high-compliance environments

We will share speed & accuracy benchmarks measuring the optimization of John Snow Labs’ software and models on the GPU-accelerated Nvidia hardware – and how this translates to enabling your AI team to deliver bigger projects faster.
