DESCRIPTION:SPEAKER : Yulin Hswen\, ScD\, MPH - Associate Professor\, Depa
 rtments of Epidemiology and Biostatistics\, University of California\, Sa
 n Francisco and the Computational Precision Health Program at University 
 of California\, Berkeley TITLE : “Harnessing Patient Voices\, Multimodal 
 Data and Computational Epidemiology to Advance Human Health" ABSTRACT: Wh
 at can digital footprints tell us about the state of human health—and wha
 t are we missing? This research leverages computational epidemiology to a
 nalyze real-world digital data from social media\, forums\, and search tr
 ends to uncover patient experiences and emerging health signals. Moving b
 eyond text\, it integrates multimodal data—images\, audio\, video\, and c
 linical notes—to capture a more comprehensive view of our health. Advance
 d AI methods are applied to develop new diagnostics and interventions\, w
 ith applications ranging from public health messaging on TikTok to retina
 l imaging for Alzheimer’s disease. The work also highlights the role of p
 ublic health researchers in communicating to the public through podcasts\
 , with future directions focused on scaling impact through cross-sector p
 artnerships and AI education. Bio: Dr. Yulin Hswen is an Associate Profes
 sor in the Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics at UCSF and the Com
 putational Precision Health Program at UC Berkeley. Her research leverage
 s artificial intelligence and multimodal data—spanning text\, audio\, vid
 eo\, and imaging—to identify hidden health signals and novel diagnostic m
 arkers\, including the use of retinal images for early detection of Alzhe
 imer’s disease and related dementias. She also investigates the role of o
 nline narratives and social media discourse in shaping population health 
 behaviors and public opinion. Dr. Hswen is an Associate Editor at JAMA \,
  where she leads the JAMA+ AI section and hosts the JAMA+ conversations w
 hich is a podcast that discusses the intersection of AI and medicine. YSP
 H values inclusion and access for all participants. If you have questions
  about accessibility or would like to request an accommodation\, please c
