What does normal mean? Mathematical frameworks for precision analysis of patient bloodwork | IMDS Seminar Series Talk

What does normal mean? Mathematical frameworks for precision analysis of patient bloodwork Brody H. Foy, DPhil Assistant Professor, Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, University of Washington Abstract: Clinical blood tests are usually interpreted using a generic reference population - but what is normal for a patient is specific to both their physiology and their clinical context. In this talk I will detail various computational approaches that can be used to define patient- and context-specific benchmarks for interpreting common blood tests. Applying these methods to large patient datasets, I will show how personalized benchmarks can enhance phenotyping, improve diagnostic sensitivity, and limit unnecessary clinical work-ups - advancing the goal of personalized medicine. Speaker Bio: Dr Brody Foy is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Laboratory Medicine & Pathology, at the University of Washington. Brody has a Bachelor of Mathematics from Queensland University of Technology, a… Event interval: Single day event. Online Meeting Link: https://washington.zoom.us/j/92206753378.
