Don Brown, a 1983 graduate of the Master of Computer Science program at the School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, will present a talk, “How Big Data, AI, and Mobile killed healthcare, but nobody knows it yet,” on the impact of the intersection between computing and healthcare in Dorsey Learning Hall at Luddy Hall Oct. 26 from 9-10 a.m.
Brown is the founder and CEO of LifeOmic, Inc. LifeOmic has created a cloud-based platform that combines the data for millions of patients, including data from electronic medical records to genetic tests, diagnostic images, and mobile fitness data, with machine learning to allow healthcare providers and medical researchers to identify new biomarkers, analyze trends, and predict health problems before they are clinically diagnosed.
Brown is one of the most successful serial software entrepreneurs in the Midwest. He was founder of the first software company in Indiana to go public, Software Artistry, in 1986, and he was the founder and CEO of Interactive Intelligence, which was sold in 2016 for $1.4 billion. LifeOmic’s platform is a foundation of the IU’s Precision Health Initiative, part of the university’s $300 million Grand Challenges program, which includes researchers from SICE.
