Isabelle Bichindaritz On Future of Digital Treatments

(Newswire.net — January 7, 2016) Huntington Beach, CA — Computer modeling of human brains could unlock new designs for personalized surgical procedures, according to Dr. Isabelle Bichindaritz, assistant professor at the State University of New York in Oswego. A noted biomedical researcher with decades of experience in data analytics and decision modeling, Dr. Bichindaritz understands that the future of healthcare lies in detailed computer modeling. “Modeling brain scans of epileptic patients has revealed seizure-prone areas,” says Dr. Bichindaritz. “The models are able to mimic surgical interventions on these areas, demonstrating significant improvements in patient outcomes.” This groundbreaking research aims to revolutionize the healthcare field, tailoring specific surgical procedures for specific patient needs.

Intelligent learning systems in medicine has been a research focus for Dr. Bichindaritz for several years, including case-based reasoning and data mining to influence medical diagnoses. She specializes in bringing artificial intelligence into the medical field, applying her knowledge of the technology’s application to medicine by developing smart systems designed to work alongside physicians. By collecting and harnessing vast amounts of individual patient data, treatment plans can be tailored to the unique needs of each patient, even in critical cases like the ones studied in the epileptic seizure surgical intervention project.

During her many years as a leading biomedical informatics researcher, Dr. Bichindaritz has had the opportunity to chair or co-chair a number of international conferences and workshops on biomedical informatics and decision analytics for the healthcare field, and she was recently named as the Director of Biomedical Informatics at a new laboratory established by SUNY Oswego. News of the computer modeling research conducted by her colleagues has ignited the passion Dr. Bichindaritz feels for the future of medicine, especially when patient outcomes are improved with specific surgical interventions. “Computer modeling is crucial to advancing the field of medicine,” she says. “With our work and those of our many colleagues in the field, patients will be able to receive the highest levels of care, and physicians will have additional diagnostic tools at their disposal.” To learn more about Dr. Bichindaritz and her achievements, visit http://www.wi2.uni-trier.de/eccbr08/index.php-task=programme&act=2.htm
