WASHINGTON, PA (March 8, 2024) – A team of 华盛顿 & 杰佛逊学院&J) students earned a first-place distinction at the Ann Kenny Case Competition as part of the 15th Annual Health IT Summit held recently by the Bethesda chapter of the Armed Forces Communications & Electronics Association (AFCEA) in Bethesda, Maryland.

“It was an incredible opportunity to work with my group members – we all had such varied backgrounds and knowledge bases, so it was super interesting to see what we came up with together,24岁的Esha Vaidya说, 生物化学专业.
The competition challenged student groups to select one of three current healthcare issues and create an IT solution that could address them.
W&J的小组选择了这个话题, “Administration of Strategic Preparedness and 响应 (ASPR),” and their solution was to integrate IT into the grant writing, selection and dispersal process to expedite grants given out in emergencies.
Their solution suggested the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in two ways. The first was using a fine-tuned version of Google’s BERT model, which would help organize grant requests by significance and predict the impact. They hypothetically called it ROBERT for Request Organizer BERT.
The second was to utilize a generative AI tool, similar to Open AI’s ChatGPT, that could assist in the grant writing process.
“We all worked hard in the week leading up to the competition, so by the time it came to share our ideas, I was so excited to talk about AI-use cases in the grant writing process to the people who are just as passionate about improving the medical grant writing process,24岁的以利亚·穆齐说, a computing and information studies major and Asian studies minor.
The students attended several conference breakout sessions outside the competition focused on human-centered design and cybersecurity. They also had the opportunity to network with other conference attendees and competition participants.
The conference’s theme, “Strengthening the Citizen Care Experience: What Now? 什么下一个?” highlighted the ongoing journey of transforming the U.S. healthcare system to deliver quality care and improved customer experiences.
