Generative artificial intelligence can have positive applications in the healthcare industry, said Keith Perry, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, when he spoke recently at the annual Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Discover conference. The event, held in Las Vegas, is a technology showcase held for HPE business and government customers. During the session, Perry said he and his staff see key training opportunities in respect to AI that work to enhance the productivity of highly skilled clinical, research, and administrative professionals. These groups all need to have both a grasp on the evolution of AI, as well as how it can and will impact their respective operations. To help advance our knowledge and discovery of pediatric diseases, St. Jude built a GenAI framework to integrate deep learning models into data science programs. The effort supports the institution's ongoing strategic investments in data science, which date back to the Pediatric Cancer Genome Project which at the time was the largest investment and most comprehensive effort to identify and understand the genetic origins of cancer. Perry was also recently honored by Becker's Healthcare’s 2024 “CIOs to know” list, which recognizes IT executives at health systems and hospitals throughout the U.S. who are leading strategic initiatives, implementing new electronic health record systems, enhancing cybersecurity and deploying telehealth services. Congratulations, Keith! #HPEDiscover #GenerativeAI #HealthcareInnovation #StJude #PediatricCancer
Seeing the outcomes of implementing performance enhancement through generative AI in pediatric cancer research will contribute to an understanding of how far the use of AI can go.
Keith, congratulations on your incredible recognition by Becker’s and for the outstanding work you and your team are putting forth in the field of AI and it’s positive impacts in Pediatric Medicine!
