Most patient care protocols are derived from\u0026nbsp;population-based studies that often rely on low-dimensional and\u0026nbsp;static patient phenotypes. As an example, we consider the problem\u0026nbsp;of early prediction and treatment of Sepsis; the leading causes\u0026nbsp;of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients and the\u0026nbsp;most expensive condition by healthcare spending. The major tenet\u0026nbsp;of sepsis care is prompt recognition and initiation of treatment,\u0026nbsp;however, no clinically validated system exists for accurate,\u0026nbsp;real-time prediction of sepsis onset, and considerable\u0026nbsp;controversies remain concerning the effectiveness of various\u0026nbsp;treatment options for septic patients. In this talk, I will\u0026nbsp;discuss how modern signal processing and machine learning tools\u0026nbsp;in association with clinical big data can be adopted to improve\u0026nbsp;early prediction of sepsis and design effective treatment\u0026nbsp;strategies.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EIEEE SP Lecture - Dr. Shamim Nemati, Emory University\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"IEEE SP Lecture - Dr. Shamim Nemati, Emory University"}],"uid":"27469","created_gmt":"2017-09-20 13:34:39","changed_gmt":"2017-09-20 13:34:39","author":"Kristen Bailey","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2017-09-28T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2017-09-28T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2017-09-28T14:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2017-09-28 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2017-09-28 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2017-09-28 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/meetings.vtools.ieee.org\/m\/47139","title":"More Information"}],"groups":[{"id":"1182","name":"General"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAlessio Medda\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:alessio.medda@gtri.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ealessio.medda@gtri.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
