Webinar – Child Health Data and Artificial Intelligence

Andrew Taylor is the Director of Innovation at GOSH, responsible for the Digital Research, Innovation & Virtual Environments (DRIVE) unit (https://www.goshdrive.com), the Cell & Gene Therapy manufacturing facility, and a new Paediatric Innovation hub. He has held University and Hospital leadership and management roles over the last decade and was the operational lead for GOSH during the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. Clinically, he is an expert in cardiovascular imaging and has established the Centre for Cardiovascular Imaging at GOSH. Andrew has also expertise in the use of data and AI in healthcare (including data & AI governance), and the use of virtual reality, computer modelling, and 3D rapid prototyping in healthcare . 

Throughout his clinical and research career, one of his main focuses has been to attract and subsequently mentor young and enthusiastic clinicians, scientists, computer scientists, and engineers – this has included individuals who now lead centres around the World.   

Luis Fernandez-Luque is also a senior member of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society and Vice-President of the International Medical Informatics Association. 

His research focus has been on the adaptation of mobile and web technologies for patient support and public health. He has substantially contributed to the creation and validation of Artificial Intelligence applications based on mobile and wearable technologies, including technologies such as deep learning and health recommender systems. His scientific contributions to mobile health are among the most cited and pioneering in the field dating back to the year 2006. 

Luis has also ample research management experience and over 150 publications cited in Google Scholar with over 5800 citations, and more than 80 indexed in PubMed. Many of those publications and projects have been related to obesity and diabetes, both in adults and pediatric populations and across multiple countries in Europe, North America and Asia. 

Katariina leads a group of experts from different backgrounds working together to improve research and innovation within children and adolescents, including e.g. the Clinical trial unit and Data lake team. She leads and participates in numerous national and internation projects, including EU-funded PHEMS, in which she is the consortium coordinator. Previously, she has worked in both research and consulting and has worked in Europe and the Middle East in international consulting projects. She also has experience as a practicing general physician both in the public and private sector. 

Dr. Chou started his career at one of the original Silicon Valley startups, Tandem Computers. His commercial career includes serving as the first President of Oracle’s cloud computing business and today as a board member at several public and private companies. He’s invested in and been a contributor to a number of startups like WebEx. Today he serves as Chairman of the Alchemist Accelerator, focused on B2B startups. 

He started teaching computer science at Stanford University in 1982, before there was a bachelor’s program. He launched Stanford’s first course on cloud computing. Timothy has delivered keynote speeches on all six continents and is the author of two books: “The End of Software ” and “Precision: Principals, Practices and Solutions for the Internet of Things”.  

More recently he has devoted his time to his last great project, the Pediatric Moonshot, a project aiming to reduce healthcare inequity, lower healthcare costs and improve outcomes for children – locally, rurally and globally by creating privacy-preserving real-time AI applications based on access to data in all 1,000,000 healthcare machines in all 500 children’s hospitals in the world.
