Request for Information: Calling all Researchers and Healthcare Community Contributors

NEW NCI Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI) Request for Information (RFI) on Electronic Health Record (EHR) data! Responses due using the submission webform by February 29, 2024.  NCI’s CCDI invites participation from all stakeholders across the cancer research and health care community including vendors and developers in understanding information on existing capabilities for automated EHR data ingestion, transformation, and harmonization – at the point of care. The RFI focuses on understanding existing tools, clinical workflows, platforms, or planned approaches to prospectively enter the data into EHRs in a pre-structured (e.g., Flow sheets, Smart Forms) format.

Please share the RFI with others in the healthcare community. For more information, visit https://rfi.grants.nih.gov/?s=65788be6eeffccde4504c2c2

The Virtual Digital Twin Micro Lab was held on April 23, 2020 with participants from more than 40 organizations. Download the video presentations, see the PowerPoint slides and read the breakout discussion notes!

Registration is now open for the 2019 ML-MSM Meeting (October 24-25, 2019) to be held in Bethesda, MD (NIH Campus). The meeting will focus on multiple domain approaches to developing Digital Twins and addressing Human Safety.

Paul Macklin of Indiana University – and MicroLab co-lead of Digital Twin ― co-authored a paper with Argonne National Lab (which includes running many patient simulations on HPC to screen treatment choices). The paper is titled, “Learning-accelerated discovery of immune-tumour interactions,” published in Molecular Systems Design and Engineering on June 7, 2019.
