Diabetes Prediction

With the data refinery hitting its stride, we wondered if lab results could be used to predict health conditions through technology only. I was convinced we could. With the help of a small team, we produced a case study to predict diabetes development using a narrow data set excluding glucose test results. The model was correct with an 87% accuracy. The results also highlighted a surprise: a calcium in urine test as a highly relevant variable. Doctors that confirmed decreased kidney function occurs with diabetes, so leaching calcium into the urine made sense and explained the models non-obvious conclusion!

Big Data Lab Tests Refinery

With over 9 billion records of lab results sitting in 100s of disparate sources, the question was, “can we combine them all to produce insights?” I answered with an emphatic, “yes!”
I set out to build a data lake with an engine to ingest, clean, and manage all that data. First, there was the challenge of different and changing schemas. So I created a mechanism to detect schema changes in the source and automatically add them to the target. I built in automation for moving records over with little intervention. I designed the ETL engine flexible enough to clean different types of data was cleaned. I applied master data management and hierarchy management to identify unique patients across datasets and organize providers associated with each other. Everything was enhanced with reference data to surface connections.

The result? A solution that won an SBIR grant, that allowed to track and forecast Opioid hotspots and with adjustments is being used to help with the Covid Pandemic.

CIFASD

At Indiana University, I was part of the Informatics Core for the NIH-backed Consortium for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. Doctors researching different aspects of the disorder across the world couldn’t trend data due to volume issues given their narrow field of research. By combining all their data, however, they were able to surface powerful insights. That is what I enabled. I built the repository to pool their data and created tools so that doctors in the field without an internet connection could house data locally until ready to upload it. Several academic publications resulted from this work, and laws in the UK were adjusted to reflect the amount women are advised to consume during pregnance.
