    karen it's great to have you on the show
  • 00:01:49
    yeah great to be here thank you for
  • 00:01:51
    having me i'm excited to talk to you
  • 00:01:53
    about data science and machine learning
  • 00:01:54
    and healthcare your experience leading
  • 00:01:56
    data teams and complex organizations and
  • 00:01:58
    how you've led r d at johnson johnson
  • 00:02:01
    but before i'd love to learn more about
  • 00:02:02
    your background and what got you into
  • 00:02:04
    the data space yeah absolutely
  • 00:02:07
    so
  • 00:02:08
    i guess like most people i've always
  • 00:02:10
    loved data and my first statistics
  • 00:02:13
    courses i started to think oh this could
  • 00:02:15
    be really really fun and especially when
  • 00:02:17
    i started applying it to data i had
  • 00:02:19
    collected as a research assistant it was
  • 00:02:22
    pretty addictive
  • 00:02:23
    and then as i moved along in my career
  • 00:02:26
    i'm a cognitive neuroscientist by
  • 00:02:27
    training but did fmri research as well
  • 00:02:30
    as looking at some like large
  • 00:02:33
    epidemiology data sets and
  • 00:02:35
    20 years ago wrote a paper on predictors
  • 00:02:37
    of suicide attempts not exactly an ai ml
  • 00:02:40
    approach to it but that interest in like
  • 00:02:43
    how can we predict some event and then i
  • 00:02:46
    had been in neuroscience studying neural
  • 00:02:49
    networks all of these things and
  • 00:02:50
    applying
  • 00:02:51
    actually machine learning techniques to
  • 00:02:55
    fmri images which are images while
  • 00:02:57
    someone's doing something so it's a
  • 00:02:58
    fairly complex although clean data set
  • 00:03:02
    got me really excited and then i've
  • 00:03:03
    always been passionate about healthcare
  • 00:03:05
    and solving problems in healthcare
  • 00:03:07
    and my first corporate data science job
  • 00:03:11
    was at highmark health so i started on
  • 00:03:13
    the payer side building a bunch of
  • 00:03:16
    models and seeing how those models
  • 00:03:18
    impacted care and was hooked and then
  • 00:03:20
    moved to the parent company it's an
  • 00:03:22
    integrated health care system second
  • 00:03:24
    largest integrated payer provider system
  • 00:03:26
    in the u.s
  • 00:03:27
    and started a data science department at
  • 00:03:30
    that parent company looking at the payer
  • 00:03:32
    the insurance side the provider side and
  • 00:03:34
    a few other diversified healthcare
  • 00:03:35
    businesses and then came to johnson
  • 00:03:38
    johnson where i am now and it's been a
  • 00:03:40
    really exciting career where i get to
  • 00:03:42
    see a lot of impact from data science to
  • 00:03:44
    start off our conversation i'd love to
  • 00:03:46
    understand the current state of data
  • 00:03:48
    science machine learning in healthcare
  • 00:03:50
    early in my career about five years ago
  • 00:03:52
    and that's not too long ago healthcare
  • 00:03:54
    was often and still is talked about as
  • 00:03:57
    an industry with a large margin of
  • 00:03:59
    opportunity for data science but it
  • 00:04:00
    comes with its own unique sets of
  • 00:04:02
    challenges which makes it slower in
  • 00:04:04
    comparison to other industries given
  • 00:04:06
    your experience as a data leader in
  • 00:04:07
    healthcare i'd love to first start off
  • 00:04:09
    our conversation by understanding how
  • 00:04:11
    you would describe what the current
  • 00:04:12
    landscape of data science and healthcare
  • 00:04:14
    looks like today and how has it evolved
  • 00:04:16
    in the past few years oh yeah that's an
  • 00:04:19
    exciting question and it's it has
  • 00:04:21
    evolved and different parts of
  • 00:04:22
    healthcare i'll say are probably
  • 00:04:25
    at different places and evolving and at
  • 00:04:28
    different paces out of sometimes
  • 00:04:31
    necessity and you say there's a lot of
  • 00:04:33
    opportunity in healthcare there is
  • 00:04:35
    and i think it's one of those industries
  • 00:04:38
    where
  • 00:04:38
    you have to take a bit of a careful
  • 00:04:40
    approach to anything new they're
  • 00:04:42
    practically their regulations and
  • 00:04:44
    there's a lot of risk for something
  • 00:04:46
    going wrong but huge benefits but what
  • 00:04:48
    i've seen over
  • 00:04:50
    uh the last
  • 00:04:52
    few years
  • 00:04:53
    is really a couple things that we're
  • 00:04:55
    seeing in a lot of industries
  • 00:04:57
    but in healthcare as well scale
  • 00:05:00
    as we're moving into hey data science
  • 00:05:03
    can be very very useful for solving real
  • 00:05:06
    problems in healthcare there's a focus
  • 00:05:08
    on
  • 00:05:09
    deploying these models and not just
  • 00:05:11
    having perfect
  • 00:05:12
    concepts but really using them to drive
  • 00:05:16
    core business decisions and core
  • 00:05:18
    insights and and that requires data
  • 00:05:21
    science at scale where at first
  • 00:05:23
    it was a little more experimental a
  • 00:05:25
    little more well let's just see
  • 00:05:27
    how this goes alongside what we do today
  • 00:05:29
    but we're not going to go all in and
  • 00:05:31
    really use this to drive our business
  • 00:05:33
    but we're moving towards that
  • 00:05:35
    the other
  • 00:05:37
    change i i guess are the problems that
  • 00:05:40
    that we can
  • 00:05:41
    solve or just we're realizing them right
  • 00:05:43
    we're expanding the scope of what data
  • 00:05:46
    science can do in healthcare and
  • 00:05:49
    of course there's diagnostics there's
  • 00:05:50
    also operations there's clinical trials
  • 00:05:53
    and how those are run how patients are
  • 00:05:55
    found there's so many things we can do
  • 00:05:58
    and then a third i
  • 00:05:59
    really important i wouldn't say change
  • 00:06:02
    but something that's just continues to
  • 00:06:04
    mature and we think about and i think
  • 00:06:05
    it's helped accelerate data science and
  • 00:06:08
    healthcare it's just thinking about the
  • 00:06:10
    ethics of what we're doing considering
  • 00:06:12
    it's impacting people and the care they
  • 00:06:14
    receive and it can be
  • 00:06:18
    life or death or it can either help or
  • 00:06:20
    hurt the disparities we're seeing in
  • 00:06:22
    care so really have thinking about
  • 00:06:25
    ethics which is important in healthcare
  • 00:06:27
    and then having tools and ways to
  • 00:06:29
    address that at scale
  • 00:06:31
    has really evolved over the past few
  • 00:06:33
    years
  • 00:06:34
    that's really great and i'm excited to
  • 00:06:36
    unpack these with you even more so you
  • 00:06:38
    mentioned at the beginning some of the
  • 00:06:40
    areas of impact that data science and
  • 00:06:42
    machine learning have in healthcare do
  • 00:06:44
    you mind expanding on these main areas
  • 00:06:45
    of value where you've seen data science
  • 00:06:47
    and machine learning push the envelope
  • 00:06:49
    forward within the healthcare space
  • 00:06:51
    it's hard to
  • 00:06:52
    pick a few but one i love to talk about
  • 00:06:55
    and this is something my former team did
  • 00:06:57
    and i really i loved the way they
  • 00:07:00
    approached this and i saw to impact
  • 00:07:02
    patients was looking at operations
  • 00:07:05
    so sometimes in healthcare we go at the
  • 00:07:09
    we're going to cure this disease we're
  • 00:07:10
    going to diagnose this disease and of
  • 00:07:12
    course how do we not say we're gonna put
  • 00:07:16
    every data science tool we have towards
  • 00:07:18
    cancer and we should
  • 00:07:20
    but a safer way in in a way in that
  • 00:07:23
    makes a huge impact can be the
  • 00:07:24
    operations of healthcare itself or the
  • 00:07:27
    operations of a clinical trial so i'll
  • 00:07:28
    give you an example when i was at
  • 00:07:30
    highmark health we built a tool
  • 00:07:33
    to help schedule patients receiving
  • 00:07:35
    chemotherapy and a big thing for me to
  • 00:07:38
    start with the problem we heard about
  • 00:07:40
    hey we're scheduling patients for
  • 00:07:42
    chemotherapy they have long wait times
  • 00:07:44
    which seemed not great
  • 00:07:46
    we notice we're really busy in the
  • 00:07:48
    mornings and then
  • 00:07:50
    things are empty in in the afternoon so
  • 00:07:52
    our clinicians are either overwhelmed or
  • 00:07:55
    don't have a lot of patience and we dug
  • 00:07:57
    in that was
  • 00:07:58
    two things they didn't know how long a
  • 00:08:00
    treatment could take and there could be
  • 00:08:01
    side effects and clinicians want to care
  • 00:08:03
    for their patients and make sure they
  • 00:08:05
    have plenty of time so they're blind to
  • 00:08:07
    how how long each patient might need
  • 00:08:10
    staying there in that location so if
  • 00:08:12
    we're able to predict that we can
  • 00:08:14
    start efficiently scheduling and then
  • 00:08:16
    just optimizing the scheduling
  • 00:08:18
    optimizing the operations where in the
  • 00:08:20
    calendar can this go where location wise
  • 00:08:22
    can this go and we had this tool ready
  • 00:08:25
    when the pandemic started and it became
  • 00:08:26
    even more important to space vulnerable
  • 00:08:28
    patients out it started with an
  • 00:08:30
    operational challenge though scheduling
  • 00:08:32
    very practical thing to solve and it
  • 00:08:34
    made a huge difference i i've heard and
  • 00:08:37
    stories from patients and saying hey i
  • 00:08:39
    can get on and back to my life and not
  • 00:08:41
    wait i can come at times convenient to
  • 00:08:43
    me
  • 00:08:44
    another area that i've seen
  • 00:08:46
    an impact and a lot of promises
  • 00:08:48
    diagnosis or detection early diagnosis
  • 00:08:50
    early detection to give clinicians some
  • 00:08:54
    some time to intervene we've heard about
  • 00:08:56
    this in things like sepsis or acute
  • 00:08:58
    diseases we're talking about early
  • 00:09:02
    detection of things like pulmonary
  • 00:09:03
    hypertension which is frequently
  • 00:09:04
    diagnosed late and i know that's
  • 00:09:06
    something where we're doing now these
  • 00:09:08
    are big big areas of opportunity where
  • 00:09:10
    we can treat patients
  • 00:09:12
    because we can detect these diseases and
  • 00:09:14
    diagnose them
  • 00:09:15
    and then the third is patient's own
  • 00:09:18
    experience like with the operational
  • 00:09:21
    component of course that had a patient
  • 00:09:23
    experience
  • 00:09:24
    piece but just understanding patients
  • 00:09:28
    their journeys where they're facing
  • 00:09:30
    challenges how they're experiencing the
  • 00:09:32
    healthcare system and where we're not
  • 00:09:34
    maybe delivering care in the way we
  • 00:09:35
    should
  • 00:09:36
    data can help us see that
  • 00:09:38
    and help us deliver a better experience
  • 00:09:40
    deliver more personalized tailored
  • 00:09:42
    experience on a biological level as well

  • 00:09:47
    just
  • 00:09:48
    an individual level preferences ways of
  • 00:09:50
    interacting and ways of receiving care i
  • 00:09:53
    love how you frame the operations
  • 00:09:54
    component here because whenever we talk
  • 00:09:56
    about data science and machine learning
  • 00:09:57
    in healthcare we always talk about
  • 00:09:59
    aspirational use cases that i think
  • 00:10:01
    we're all in agreement are extremely
  • 00:10:02
    important for example i'm very excited
  • 00:10:04
    to see the impacts of deep minds alpha
  • 00:10:06
    fault and direct discovery but that
  • 00:10:08
    doesn't mean we cannot create impact on
  • 00:10:10
    people's lives right now with data
  • 00:10:12
    science just by solving operational
  • 00:10:14
    challenges when talking about data
  • 00:10:16
    science and healthcare we often talk
  • 00:10:18
    about challenges unique to the
  • 00:10:19
    healthcare space such as access to
  • 00:10:21
    relevant interoperable data ethics of ai
  • 00:10:24
    and a host of other challenges i'd love
  • 00:10:26
    it if you can break down what are the
  • 00:10:28
    main data challenges you think that the
  • 00:10:30
    healthcare industry is facing today
  • 00:10:32
    i talk to my colleagues across
  • 00:10:34
    industries everything manufacturing
  • 00:10:37
    automotive
  • 00:10:38
    just
  • 00:10:39
    very different industries and no one
  • 00:10:41
    tells me
  • 00:10:42
    our data is perfect clean haven't really
  • 00:10:45
    had a problem there or thought about it
  • 00:10:47
    of course you're not surprised to hear
  • 00:10:48
    this and in healthcare we base that as
  • 00:10:51
    well and interoperability and different
  • 00:10:53
    formats of data we're facing the same
  • 00:10:55
    things but i think we're realizing that
  • 00:10:58
    a other industries that face this and be
  • 00:10:59
    you know there are solutions that will
  • 00:11:01
    work here as well it's the whole topic
  • 00:11:04
    the ethics of ai is is huge a huge one
  • 00:11:08
    here
  • 00:11:08
    and really really important so
  • 00:11:11
    this becomes crucial in in healthcare
  • 00:11:14
    i'm not saying if if you're selling a
  • 00:11:16
    consumer good of course you don't want
  • 00:11:18
    to make a mistake but if i get a
  • 00:11:19
    recommendation to buy
  • 00:11:21
    a toaster oven and i just bought a
  • 00:11:23
    toaster oven so i'm probably not going
  • 00:11:25
    to buy a second one and this just
  • 00:11:26
    happened to me it's not a big deal it
  • 00:11:28
    didn't really affect my life you can
  • 00:11:30
    experiment with those algorithms get
  • 00:11:31
    them out there and get them out there
  • 00:11:34
    quickly and in healthcare we've
  • 00:11:36
    obviously had to
  • 00:11:37
    think and other industries face this as
  • 00:11:39
    well
  • 00:11:40
    there's risk so you have to really think
  • 00:11:43
    through
  • 00:11:44
    what you're doing and what could happen
  • 00:11:47
    and how this algorithm is going to work
  • 00:11:48
    what how you're going to build this
  • 00:11:50
    process
  • 00:11:51
    and get it right that's not to say there
  • 00:11:53
    aren't things we can do there's a lot
  • 00:11:55
    because there are a lot of problems and
  • 00:11:56
    things we're not doing
  • 00:11:58
    really well today so as long as we're
  • 00:12:00
    not making it worse we should try some
  • 00:12:01
    things but that's always going to be
  • 00:12:05
    a pretty big challenge and an important
  • 00:12:07
    challenge that we should take on
  • 00:12:08
    relative to
  • 00:12:09
    other industries
  • 00:12:11
    it's just talking about the data
  • 00:12:12
    obviously the sensitivity of the data
  • 00:12:14
    itself
  • 00:12:15
    makes it maybe a little harder to get
  • 00:12:17
    access to data or think about how to use
  • 00:12:20
    it share it what kinds of environments
  • 00:12:22
    that data can be in
  • 00:12:24
    and it should be i mean that's a
  • 00:12:26
    challenge we should take on as a good
  • 00:12:28
    challenge and the one we say we were
  • 00:12:30
    never good enough because this is the
  • 00:12:32
    most sensitive data in people's lives so
  • 00:12:35
    that we should be continuously improving
  • 00:12:38
    and thinking about how we protect this
  • 00:12:40
    data how we use it how we make sure
  • 00:12:43
    we're using it in a way
  • 00:12:45
    that decreases inequalities in how we
  • 00:12:48
    deliver care which i think it can but we
  • 00:12:50
    have to use the data responsibly and
  • 00:12:52
    consider it is very very sensitive data
  • 00:12:55
    maybe more so than if there's a
  • 00:12:57
    a leak of that i bought a toaster oven
  • 00:13:00
    not that exciting
  • 00:13:02
    i bought a coffee baker
  • 00:13:04
    not that
  • 00:13:05
    not that exciting but this this is a
  • 00:13:07
    pretty big one
  • 00:13:08
    i completely agree here and let's spark
  • 00:13:10
    the chat a bit and talk about the ethics
  • 00:13:12
    of ai in healthcare when we talk about
  • 00:13:14
    using machine learning and ai in
  • 00:13:16
    healthcare there's this aversion that
  • 00:13:18
    whatever we develop will end up creating
  • 00:13:20
    harmful outcomes or that it could be
  • 00:13:22
    used irresponsibly and oftentimes the
  • 00:13:24
    response is not to leverage machine
  • 00:13:26
    learning in ai so i'd love to understand
  • 00:13:28
    how you evaluate the risk of harmful
  • 00:13:31
    outcomes of machine learning and ai in
  • 00:13:32
    healthcare and how do you go about
  • 00:13:33
    minimizing it
  • 00:13:35
    well a great question one big thing to
  • 00:13:38
    understand the potential harmful
  • 00:13:41
    outcomes you have to understand the
  • 00:13:43
    problem that you're solving
  • 00:13:45
    be working collaboratively with a
  • 00:13:48
    cross-functional team with clinicians
  • 00:13:50
    with whoever is using and implementing
  • 00:13:53
    and acting on your model with patients
  • 00:13:55
    you have to have everyone in the room
  • 00:13:56
    and involved in this process
  • 00:13:59
    and understand that end-to-end because
  • 00:14:01
    that's the only way you're going to find
  • 00:14:03
    where the risks might lie you have to
  • 00:14:05
    understand how how they're going to use
  • 00:14:08
    this information and make a decision
  • 00:14:10
    what mitigations can you build in where
  • 00:14:12
    are the risks at every point in this
  • 00:14:14
    system in that is sometimes something
  • 00:14:17
    data scientists especially when they get
  • 00:14:19
    started they're excited to build models
  • 00:14:22
    and they skip over this piece of it
  • 00:14:24
    unintentionally and when i read about
  • 00:14:26
    you know resumes from the hr world like
  • 00:14:29
    the algorithm is going to learn
  • 00:14:31
    what you feed it and historically data
  • 00:14:34
    reflects our human biases so the
  • 00:14:37
    algorithm if you don't
  • 00:14:39
    think about it and you don't account for
  • 00:14:40
    that is going to learn to do exactly
  • 00:14:42
    what people have done which is not
  • 00:14:44
    uh
  • 00:14:45
    really necessarily ethical but
  • 00:14:49
    when with data and with an algorithm we
  • 00:14:51
    have an ability to fix that and to
  • 00:14:53
    control that a bit more than than we do
  • 00:14:55
    in people but i always think about the
  • 00:14:57
    end end how the decisions being made it
  • 00:14:59
    can't just be about the algorithm and
  • 00:15:01
    another part is it sounds kind of simple
  • 00:15:04
    but empathy and the human centered
  • 00:15:06
    design thinking approach is very
  • 00:15:07
    valuable for data science because you
  • 00:15:09
    start
  • 00:15:10
    putting yourself in the shoes of
  • 00:15:13
    the the person who's affected by this
  • 00:15:15
    the patient all of the things they may
  • 00:15:17
    be facing and all of the things that may
  • 00:15:19
    happen based on the
  • 00:15:21
    algorithm so you've got to really think
  • 00:15:23
    about it from that angle and
  • 00:15:26
    then it's of course the technology the
  • 00:15:28
    data itself
  • 00:15:30
    what biases are there the algorithms
  • 00:15:32
    you're choosing the ways you can
  • 00:15:34
    mitigate and correct it can you and
  • 00:15:37
    that's job a technical expertise a data
  • 00:15:39
    scientist has to have and it's essential
  • 00:15:42
    now especially in in healthcare but
  • 00:15:44
    everywhere we want to think about that
  • 00:15:46
    the other obvious one is really going
  • 00:15:49
    way back and saying did we pick the
  • 00:15:50
    right use case and like the operations
  • 00:15:52
    example there's a lot of problems to
  • 00:15:54
    solve in healthcare we should be
  • 00:15:56
    thinking about all of them but maybe
  • 00:15:58
    the easier quick wins are ones where
  • 00:16:01
    there's a little
  • 00:16:03
    less
  • 00:16:04
    opportunity for harm if it's maybe we're
  • 00:16:08
    just randomly we're communicating with
  • 00:16:10
    everyone in the same way today and maybe
  • 00:16:12
    if we try to figure out some preferences
  • 00:16:15
    and try to customize a bit and learn
  • 00:16:17
    from there that may be lower risk than
  • 00:16:19
    detecting a disease or changing the
  • 00:16:22
    course of care and in medicine and
  • 00:16:24
    healthcare this doesn't replace a
  • 00:16:25
    clinician we want this to enhance the
  • 00:16:27
    clinicians decision making that's
  • 00:16:29
    awesome and i love how you draw
  • 00:16:30
    inspiration from other fields like human
  • 00:16:32
    centered design given that do you think
  • 00:16:34
    also healthcare can draw from risk
  • 00:16:36
    management risk analysis to create ai
  • 00:16:38
    governance frameworks i think that is a
  • 00:16:41
    great question and absolutely there is
  • 00:16:44
    no industry
  • 00:16:46
    we can't learn from we have to be
  • 00:16:48
    looking outside of healthcare
  • 00:16:50
    all the time and looking across
  • 00:16:52
    healthcare to different parts of
  • 00:16:53
    healthcare but definitely looking
  • 00:16:55
    outside that's why i've
  • 00:16:57
    very intentionally hired people from
  • 00:16:58
    other industries
  • 00:17:00
    on my teams i've wanted people from
  • 00:17:02
    manufacturing and and it has worked
  • 00:17:05
    they've come in and looked at things and
  • 00:17:06
    said this is not an easy but a pretty
  • 00:17:08
    easy problem to solve we deal with this
  • 00:17:10
    all the time and
  • 00:17:12
    something that someone my background is
  • 00:17:14
    mainly in healthcare i would think
  • 00:17:17
    certainly movement of chemotherapy drugs
  • 00:17:19
    around to different locations that i i
  • 00:17:21
    thought as though that's a pretty big
  • 00:17:22
    challenge but i knew that other
  • 00:17:24
    industries had solved it and so i looked
  • 00:17:27
    to people from those industries to come
  • 00:17:29
    in and bring some of that thinking to
  • 00:17:30
    healthcare risk management of course
  • 00:17:33
    that is something we do we have uh risk
  • 00:17:37
    mitigation plans for everything we do
  • 00:17:39
    think through everything early
  • 00:17:41
    the every industry we need to be looking
  • 00:17:44
    outside all the time in healthcare when
  • 00:17:46
    thinking about some of the other
  • 00:17:47
    obstacles that are unique to healthcare
  • 00:17:49
    such as data access interoperability and
  • 00:17:51
    collection what needs to change so that
  • 00:17:54
    data science healthcare innovation
  • 00:17:55
    accelerates here is it regulatory
  • 00:17:57
    innovation industry standards that need
  • 00:17:59
    to evolve
  • 00:18:00
    the regulatory component is there it's
  • 00:18:03
    important there's collaborative work and
  • 00:18:05
    discussions going on across healthcare
  • 00:18:08
    to make sure the the regulatory
  • 00:18:11
    environment meets the needs of data
  • 00:18:14
    science that's an ongoing process
  • 00:18:16
    another one though that
  • 00:18:18
    maybe is every industry but i see it a
  • 00:18:21
    lot in healthcare the systems are very
  • 00:18:23
    complex
  • 00:18:24
    we have different
  • 00:18:26
    emr systems those have a lot of steps
  • 00:18:28
    and pieces data scientists don't always
  • 00:18:31
    understand
  • 00:18:32
    how a clinician interacts with that
  • 00:18:34
    system yet that's that may be the place
  • 00:18:36
    where their
  • 00:18:37
    solution is delivered and acted on where
  • 00:18:39
    the value is realized but they're very
  • 00:18:42
    complicated systems and to get them all
  • 00:18:44
    to connect maybe we want to use
  • 00:18:46
    multimodal data from multiple sources
  • 00:18:49
    imaging
  • 00:18:51
    devices everything to really get a full
  • 00:18:53
    picture of the patient at different time
  • 00:18:55
    scales
  • 00:18:56
    to really scale that solution and
  • 00:18:58
    implement it we need those systems
  • 00:19:00
    connected you can do it once grab all
  • 00:19:02
    the data put it together build a model
  • 00:19:04
    but how do you then deploy that model
  • 00:19:06
    seeing some simplification of these
  • 00:19:08
    systems and some consideration of hey
  • 00:19:11
    it's very important to use this data to
  • 00:19:13
    deploy solutions and to seamlessly
  • 00:19:15
    connect and simplify things
  • 00:19:17
    would be great to see and i think we're
  • 00:19:20
    probably going to see that and i
  • 00:19:21
    as i said it probably exists in in other
  • 00:19:24
    industries as well
  • 00:19:26
    um the other one is experience with data
  • 00:19:28
    science data literacy or ai literacy
  • 00:19:32
    we don't need
  • 00:19:34
    clinicians and hospital administers they
  • 00:19:37
    don't need to be experts in data science
  • 00:19:39
    but
  • 00:19:40
    i think as we all bring up that level of
  • 00:19:43
    understanding and understanding
  • 00:19:46
    how data science works how some of this
  • 00:19:49
    stuff can be used and be able to speak a
  • 00:19:51
    bit of the same language that would help
  • 00:19:53
    and we're seeing that again in every
  • 00:19:55
    industry but one i think we have a good
  • 00:19:57
    chance of solving in in medicine a lot
  • 00:20:00
    of people have a scientific background
  • 00:20:02
    and
  • 00:20:03
    it's data science has the science so
  • 00:20:06
    it should be a good place and i've seen
  • 00:20:09
    a lot of engaged clinicians and a lot
  • 00:20:11
    coming in with a lot of knowledge
  • 00:20:13
    experimental design and that's moving
  • 00:20:15
    along but we could be better there and
  • 00:20:18
    we need to keep pushing and that data
  • 00:20:20
    literacy component is huge from a data
  • 00:20:22
    quality perspective because a lot of
  • 00:20:24
    healthcare professionals are the ones
  • 00:20:25
    who are inputting this data into these
  • 00:20:27
    systems and if they do not recognize the
  • 00:20:29
    role the data plays in the value chain
  • 00:20:31
    of data science then that value chain
  • 00:20:33
    will end up breaking because no one is
  • 00:20:35
    paying attention to the data quality
  • 00:20:37
    right that's a great point and it
  • 00:20:39
    actually that data literacy then it's
  • 00:20:41
    going both ways it's a business literacy
  • 00:20:44
    on the data scientist part of
  • 00:20:45
    understanding
  • 00:20:47
    how a clinician is inputting data and
  • 00:20:50
    how they're interacting with an emr
  • 00:20:52
    system or how on you know the insurance
  • 00:20:54
    side maybe a care manager
  • 00:20:56
    is identifying and reaching out to
  • 00:20:59
    members of an insurance plan to help
  • 00:21:01
    them coordinate their care and manage a
  • 00:21:04
    chronic disease but
  • 00:21:05
    we we have to understand how that data
  • 00:21:07
    comes in
  • 00:21:08
    and
  • 00:21:09
    conversely
  • 00:21:10
    if we show the value of data science the
  • 00:21:13
    the people delivering care and part of
  • 00:21:15
    that healthcare ecosystem
  • 00:21:17
    are going to be able to work with us and
  • 00:21:19
    say okay like i can i can
  • 00:21:21
    see the value of uh this distinction as
  • 00:21:25
    long as we don't take time away from
  • 00:21:26
    their interactions with patients and
  • 00:21:28
    make it harder don't want to do that
  • 00:21:30
    that's awesome and given we're
  • 00:21:32
    discussing the value of data science and
  • 00:21:33
    healthcare i'd like to pivot to discuss
  • 00:21:35
    your experience as a data and ai leader
  • 00:21:37
    at johnson and johnson i'd love to
  • 00:21:39
    understand and dig through some of the
  • 00:21:41
    most exciting use cases you've seen data
  • 00:21:43
    teams working on especially in
  • 00:21:44
    healthcare at johnson and johnson
  • 00:21:46
    especially given what must have been a
  • 00:21:48
    very interesting time for r d teams with
  • 00:21:51
    the release of the j j kovit 19 vaccine
  • 00:21:53
    yeah there there are three that really
  • 00:21:55
    come to mind and one we all are
  • 00:21:58
    so deep in it it's always a great
  • 00:22:00
    example so this is this is something i
  • 00:22:02
    think is an excellent example of using
  • 00:22:05
    data science to solve a real problem and
  • 00:22:06
    make an impact
  • 00:22:08
    when
  • 00:22:09
    clinical trials are planned as you can
  • 00:22:11
    imagine they're complex there's a lot of
  • 00:22:12
    planning and you need to decide where to
  • 00:22:14
    have those trials
  • 00:22:16
    in the case of the vaccine
  • 00:22:18
    we needed to find places where
  • 00:22:21
    kovid was spreading so that we could see
  • 00:22:23
    whether this worked quickly and get it
  • 00:22:25
    out to people
  • 00:22:26
    and what the teams were able to do using
  • 00:22:28
    data science was predict where these
  • 00:22:31
    future hotspots would be and plan the
  • 00:22:34
    clinical trials in those places and it
  • 00:22:36
    was effective and it allowed us to
  • 00:22:38
    accelerate that and be really targeted
  • 00:22:40
    and where we were doing clinical trials
  • 00:22:42
    and where we're seeing high levels of
  • 00:22:44
    covet so i think that's just a very
  • 00:22:47
    great example and it shows data science
  • 00:22:49
    can
  • 00:22:50
    rise to the challenge and really solve
  • 00:22:53
    big problems under pressure when it
  • 00:22:55
    counts with there is no bigger really
  • 00:22:57
    pressure in recent times than the whole
  • 00:23:00
    world's in this pandemic and we need to
  • 00:23:03
    do something about it with data science
  • 00:23:04
    i'm really proud of that
  • 00:23:06
    the other i think i mentioned the
  • 00:23:07
    pulmonary hypertension example but just
  • 00:23:09
    one example of how we can bring
  • 00:23:12
    data together and use ai to diagnose a
  • 00:23:15
    condition earlier and that and that's
  • 00:23:17
    something we're doing and working on
  • 00:23:18
    that's very very exciting this is an
  • 00:23:21
    under diagnosed disease or it's not
  • 00:23:23
    diagnosed early when when we could treat
  • 00:23:25
    it and make an impact so if we can bring
  • 00:23:28
    together diverse data sources and
  • 00:23:30
    predict that diagnosis we can really
  • 00:23:32
    make a difference in people's lives and
  • 00:23:34
    then the third is just generally using
  • 00:23:37
    data to accelerate what we're doing and
  • 00:23:39
    how we're doing it at every part of the
  • 00:23:41
    process we could talk about that all day
  • 00:23:43
    but using digital data and digital
  • 00:23:46
    endpoints to better measure outcomes
  • 00:23:48
    using real world data claims data ehr
  • 00:23:51
    data to really make sure we understand
  • 00:23:53
    the patients we understand their needs
  • 00:23:55
    we're developing drugs that are going to
  • 00:23:59
    to make a difference and we're doing it
  • 00:24:00
    efficiently and quickly because it
  • 00:24:02
    always strikes me that every day that
  • 00:24:04
    this is not out there a patient's not
  • 00:24:06
    getting this treatment so i love that we
  • 00:24:08
    are always focused on how do we get
  • 00:24:10
    medicines to patients faster because
  • 00:24:14
    this matters and we all either have been
  • 00:24:17
    know someone or will be affected by this
  • 00:24:20
    i absolutely love the kovit 19 use case
  • 00:24:22
    here and it's really exemplary of a data
  • 00:24:24
    science use case that requires
  • 00:24:26
    relatively simple data science that can
  • 00:24:28
    provide value now for patients and
  • 00:24:30
    healthcare providers so i'd love it if
  • 00:24:31
    you can impact that use case even more
  • 00:24:33
    and maybe discuss the methodology used
  • 00:24:35
    here
  • 00:24:36
    i think it's a general process that
  • 00:24:38
    really is important for solving any data
  • 00:24:41
    science
  • 00:24:42
    problem and at a high level
  • 00:24:45
    and i've done this set up very multiple
  • 00:24:47
    companies
  • 00:24:48
    it starts with identifying a clear
  • 00:24:50
    problem in this case right it was
  • 00:24:52
    clearly we don't know where to
  • 00:24:55
    plan to have these clinical trials and
  • 00:24:57
    it's not something we can spin up in a
  • 00:25:00
    day it takes some time so how could we
  • 00:25:02
    know earlier it's finding that problem
  • 00:25:04
    that can be solved with data science
  • 00:25:07
    that's one piece that was crucial here
  • 00:25:10
    and then it's collaborating working
  • 00:25:13
    together
  • 00:25:15
    with the
  • 00:25:16
    business clinical areas
  • 00:25:18
    to
  • 00:25:19
    design and implement that solution in
  • 00:25:21
    time sometimes data science if it gets
  • 00:25:24
    too exploratory or
  • 00:25:27
    just experimental
  • 00:25:28
    we're not thinking about the urgency in
  • 00:25:30
    the timelines where we need to deliver
  • 00:25:32
    and working closely as a core member
  • 00:25:34
    across the team and to to make something
  • 00:25:37
    like this happen you have to do that
  • 00:25:39
    those are just two key things that have
  • 00:25:42
    to happen in any high impact
  • 00:25:44
    data science use case and i think ones
  • 00:25:46
    that have served well and then the third
  • 00:25:49
    a piece of advice i got very early and
  • 00:25:51
    i've always used and i've seen
  • 00:25:54
    as a component of successful projects is
  • 00:25:57
    really understanding how
  • 00:26:00
    the solution you're building is going to
  • 00:26:01
    be used and making sure the people who
  • 00:26:03
    are going to use it are involved in the
  • 00:26:05
    planning and have bought into this
  • 00:26:06
    because you
  • 00:26:08
    if you don't have adoption you're you're
  • 00:26:10
    not going to solve the problem that that
  • 00:26:12
    you wanted to solve so i think one thing
  • 00:26:14
    that's evident is that there's a lot of
  • 00:26:15
    different data teams at j doing
  • 00:26:17
    different work it's one challenge to do
  • 00:26:19
    this data science and health care but
  • 00:26:21
    it's another challenge to work in a
  • 00:26:22
    large matrix organizations where there
  • 00:26:24
    are tons of stakeholders and a lot of
  • 00:26:26
    different teams working on different
  • 00:26:27
    problems i'd love to know how you ensure
  • 00:26:30
    that you're staying effective despite
  • 00:26:31
    this complexity and some of the best
  • 00:26:33
    practices you can share
  • 00:26:35
    in managing and working with data teams
  • 00:26:38
    in large matrix organizations with other
  • 00:26:40
    data leaders i think a big one is coming
  • 00:26:43
    back to the shared mission vision what
  • 00:26:46
    you're trying to do because in a
  • 00:26:48
    healthcare organization or any
  • 00:26:50
    organization but definitely in
  • 00:26:51
    healthcare and at johnson and johnson it
  • 00:26:53
    is
  • 00:26:54
    very clear we are getting medicines to
  • 00:26:57
    patients we're saving people's lives at
  • 00:26:59
    the end of the day that
  • 00:27:01
    cuts the the matrix the complexity of a
  • 00:27:03
    large company sure it's there but the
  • 00:27:06
    culture and the focus on the patient and
  • 00:27:08
    what we're doing unifies and brings us
  • 00:27:10
    all together and breaks down those silos
  • 00:27:12
    and i think if at any company if you
  • 00:27:15
    find and focus on that the problem
  • 00:27:18
    and what you all care about how
  • 00:27:20
    everyone's benefiting
  • 00:27:21
    it it really helps the other is
  • 00:27:23
    something i i think is just crucial
  • 00:27:25
    bring people in early from across your
  • 00:27:27
    company it becomes more complex when
  • 00:27:29
    data science happens in the silo and
  • 00:27:31
    then you show up with a solution
  • 00:27:34
    and different parts of the business are
  • 00:27:36
    thinking oh no we needed to be involved
  • 00:27:38
    earlier this is slightly off here and it
  • 00:27:41
    it can be harder than it needs to be
  • 00:27:43
    which is
  • 00:27:45
    brings me to the good part of a large
  • 00:27:47
    matrix organization and why i keep
  • 00:27:50
    working for them and i love to be at one
  • 00:27:52
    i love to be the leader in a large
  • 00:27:54
    matrix organization
  • 00:27:56
    you have incredible resources
  • 00:27:59
    you have
  • 00:28:00
    experts you have legal teams you have
  • 00:28:03
    supply chain there's there's so many
  • 00:28:06
    experts in
  • 00:28:08
    the area where you're developing
  • 00:28:09
    solutions that's it is a luxury to have
  • 00:28:12
    when you're a startup i talk to
  • 00:28:13
    companies people that have great ideas
  • 00:28:16
    and they have to work so hard to just
  • 00:28:17
    get access to hey can you just tell me
  • 00:28:19
    about
  • 00:28:20
    some of the problems you have or how
  • 00:28:22
    this works and they don't have all of
  • 00:28:24
    these resources surrounding them at a
  • 00:28:26
    large company
  • 00:28:28
    you have so much support and you can
  • 00:28:31
    never reach out too much or
  • 00:28:33
    too early and think about hey you know
  • 00:28:35
    what i'm struggling a bit with maybe
  • 00:28:38
    how do you think about marketing oh we
  • 00:28:40
    have a marketing team they everybody
  • 00:28:42
    loves to get involved and they love
  • 00:28:44
    to help and most companies i think
  • 00:28:46
    you'll find this so reach out and use
  • 00:28:48
    those resources that make a large
  • 00:28:50
    company great because otherwise you're
  • 00:28:52
    going to have
  • 00:28:54
    all the bad parts of a big company and
  • 00:28:55
    none of the good parts and that why do
  • 00:28:57
    that that's great and it must be
  • 00:28:59
    especially rewarding to have access to
  • 00:29:01
    healthcare subject matter experts across
  • 00:29:03
    the value chain because this will help
  • 00:29:05
    you develop this empathy to create human
  • 00:29:08
    centered data science solutions
  • 00:29:10
    exactly no absolutely and we have that
  • 00:29:13
    easily just phone call or
  • 00:29:16
    quick message away like
  • 00:29:18
    we're
  • 00:29:19
    people are happy to talk and using that
  • 00:29:22
    is key yes wonderful to have you
  • 00:29:25
    great to use awesome so i'm sure these
  • 00:29:27
    conversations with subject matter
  • 00:29:29
    experts also influence your roadmap
  • 00:29:31
    given the importance of r d in the
  • 00:29:33
    healthcare space how do you ensure an
  • 00:29:35
    adequate split between long-term
  • 00:29:36
    research and short-term wins that can
  • 00:29:39
    help you move the needle yeah absolutely
  • 00:29:41
    and right now i'm in this r d
  • 00:29:43
    environment developing medicines and
  • 00:29:46
    it's a long-term view which is really
  • 00:29:49
    interesting to see and to have
  • 00:29:51
    that said there's a lot of short pieces
  • 00:29:55
    and wins along the way to get to that
  • 00:29:57
    end goal
  • 00:29:58
    so if you're working with the
  • 00:30:02
    clinical teams and as we do we really
  • 00:30:05
    work together or in any company you're
  • 00:30:06
    working with the business area and
  • 00:30:09
    talking about
  • 00:30:10
    what is that end to end what's the
  • 00:30:12
    ultimate kind of long-term outcomes and
  • 00:30:15
    then work backwards what are the short
  • 00:30:17
    pieces and those quick wins as you say a
  • 00:30:19
    lot to get you there
  • 00:30:20
    you get that mix and then i think it's
  • 00:30:23
    important to look at at the portfolio
  • 00:30:26
    you have for data science and go through
  • 00:30:28
    and see
  • 00:30:30
    how many of these are really
  • 00:30:32
    it's going to be years before we see the
  • 00:30:34
    value and that's something in data
  • 00:30:36
    science you need to know because you
  • 00:30:37
    have to be careful not to let that
  • 00:30:40
    timeline
  • 00:30:41
    and that
  • 00:30:42
    pace of technology and changes conflicts
  • 00:30:45
    you've got to think about it early but
  • 00:30:47
    yeah looking at how many long-term
  • 00:30:49
    projects we have how many short quick
  • 00:30:51
    wins do i have and then also
  • 00:30:54
    it's okay to have purely exploratory i'm
  • 00:30:56
    gonna play around with this data see if
  • 00:30:58
    i can develop this model that's great to
  • 00:31:01
    have too it's just looking across the
  • 00:31:03
    portfolio and making sure
  • 00:31:05
    that the
  • 00:31:06
    percentage of work that's in all of
  • 00:31:08
    these buckets is where you want it to be
  • 00:31:10
    and need it to be and how do you
  • 00:31:11
    determine which areas to research in
  • 00:31:13
    your r d agenda
  • 00:31:15
    the good thing is in an r d organization
  • 00:31:18
    that happens at such a high high level
  • 00:31:21
    but
  • 00:31:22
    to bring it back to one simple concept
  • 00:31:24
    it's unmet need and what do patients
  • 00:31:27
    need and i think it's something
  • 00:31:29
    that applies everywhere that where is
  • 00:31:31
    there an unmet need where we can bring
  • 00:31:33
    data science in but of course that's
  • 00:31:35
    goes into the planning of what do we
  • 00:31:37
    develop and it's a pharmaceutical r d
  • 00:31:39
    organization it's a big process it's the
  • 00:31:42
    core of of the business
  • 00:31:44
    and then there's the data science
  • 00:31:46
    component how does data science
  • 00:31:48
    support and accelerate and enhance
  • 00:31:52
    that that portfolio and that that r d
  • 00:31:55
    process
  • 00:31:56
    and as we mature and talk to each other
  • 00:31:59
    and data science grows which we're doing
  • 00:32:02
    at johnson johnson janssen r d which is
  • 00:32:06
    pharmaceutical companies johnson johnson
  • 00:32:08
    the data science team and capabilities
  • 00:32:11
    are just exceptional
  • 00:32:13
    jacqueline is our chief data science
  • 00:32:15
    officer has built
  • 00:32:17
    just a really incredibly advanced
  • 00:32:20
    capability and and the company is
  • 00:32:22
    putting a lot of investment
  • 00:32:24
    into data science in r d and commercial
  • 00:32:27
    and across the company
  • 00:32:28
    it's great to see and that shows me that
  • 00:32:31
    there is it right we've had the
  • 00:32:32
    discussion about this can impact
  • 00:32:35
    the r d portfolio this can um
  • 00:32:38
    help you meet your goals and we've had
  • 00:32:40
    that conversation conversations been
  • 00:32:41
    successful and that's why we're able to
  • 00:32:43
    to grow and really use data science
  • 00:32:45
    now karen as we close out i'd love to
  • 00:32:47
    have a look into the future and what you
  • 00:32:49
    think are the data trends and
  • 00:32:50
    innovations that you're particularly
  • 00:32:52
    looking forward to see within healthcare
  • 00:32:54
    one that is very important and i'm very
  • 00:32:57
    excited about is the concept of fairness
  • 00:33:00
    so we talked about the risks and reasons
  • 00:33:03
    people don't want to use ai in
  • 00:33:05
    healthcare and and this one comes up a
  • 00:33:07
    lot and it really it any kind of high
  • 00:33:11
    stakes industry it affects that industry
  • 00:33:13
    but i'm really excited about the
  • 00:33:16
    capabilities and the thinking that that
  • 00:33:18
    is evolving around fairness both
  • 00:33:20
    being able to detect bias and unfair
  • 00:33:23
    pieces of the algorithm and then even
  • 00:33:26
    fix that on the fly at scale make
  • 00:33:29
    corrections i think that has the ability
  • 00:33:31
    to allow us to really use data science
  • 00:33:34
    ai and machine learning and healthcare
  • 00:33:36
    but it really brings a ton of value to
  • 00:33:39
    to people to patients and make sure
  • 00:33:42
    they're getting
  • 00:33:43
    care that is fair that we're considering
  • 00:33:46
    things that maybe we haven't been great
  • 00:33:48
    at in the past and maybe this can make
  • 00:33:49
    medicine a bit better or any field a bit
  • 00:33:51
    better so fairness is a huge one for me
  • 00:33:54
    future trends of course i think we're
  • 00:33:56
    going to continue to see
  • 00:33:58
    scale we're going to continue to see a
  • 00:34:00
    bit of a
  • 00:34:02
    i don't want to say a ketchup but we're
  • 00:34:03
    in a nice position to leapfrog other
  • 00:34:05
    industries that have
  • 00:34:07
    really perfected or made a huge a lot of
  • 00:34:10
    the advancement in
  • 00:34:12
    embedding ai into
  • 00:34:14
    every part of their business we can take
  • 00:34:16
    the
  • 00:34:17
    technical learnings and platforms and
  • 00:34:18
    pieces and start from there in
  • 00:34:20
    healthcare and i think we're going to
  • 00:34:22
    see that continue to grow because as we
  • 00:34:24
    start making an impact we're going to
  • 00:34:25
    need to consider how this becomes a core
  • 00:34:28
    part of healthcare
  • 00:34:29
    karen it was great to have you on the
  • 00:34:31
    show do you have any final call to
  • 00:34:33
    action before we wrap up
  • 00:34:35
    you know it is to focus on the impact
  • 00:34:38
    like i just
  • 00:34:39
    always encourage data science and data
  • 00:34:42
    science leaders to think through
  • 00:34:44
    how is this data science solution
  • 00:34:47
    solving a business problem how is it
  • 00:34:48
    making an impact and how is it doing so
  • 00:34:51
    the right way so focus on impact
  • 00:34:54
    understand the context be fair but
  • 00:34:56
    really go all and make a difference
  • 00:34:58
    because data science we're ready for
  • 00:35:00
    that
  • 00:35:01
