Pia Mauro, PhD

Assistant Professor of Epidemiology

Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health


Older adults bear the brunt of negative alcohol- and tobacco-related health consequences and mortality, yet they are often left behind in substance use research. This presentation will describe the epidemiology of alcohol and tobacco use in older adulthood, estimate longitudinal changes in use in the context of the COVID19 pandemic, and discuss opportunities to engage people in services when clinically indicated.


Agenda:


  • Introduction to the Rutgers Health Office of Diversity and Inclusion
  • Participant Introductions
  • Cultural Humility Conversation with Dr. Robin Eubanks

Rutgers, GSK, & Deep 6 AI

Publish AI-powered Algorithm


In a newly published study, Rutgers, GSK, and Deep 6 AI teamed up to develop a COPD exacerbation risk algorithm by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to tap into both structured and unstructured clinical data in electronic health records (EHRs). 


Mining unstructured EHR data allows researchers to discover clinical characteristics of patients with exacerbation that are not available in traditional claims data or coded EHR data. 

 

Learn more about how they developed the AI-powered algorithm and the findings.


Read More about Deep 6



"Our study offers the opportunity to apply AI and NLP to structured and unstructured EHR data to predict COPD disease severity and exacerbation risk. This approach could obviate the need to document the CAT or mMRC tools in the chart and more precisely identify patients at risk for exacerbations than models that use claims".
