Please join the NEI Office of Data Science and Health Informatics for a session highlighting research opportunities through the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) program. OHDSI is a global collaborative network of researchers, healthcare professionals, data scientists, and informaticians dedicated to improving health outcomes through the analysis of large-scale, standardized healthcare databases. By generating real-world evidence, OHDSI helps uncover insights into disease patterns, treatment effectiveness, and safety profiles.

In this session, Dr. Michelle Hribar and Dr. Cindy Cai will present their research conducted using the OHDSI network and lead a discussion on future research opportunities it offers for the vision health community. A representative from OHDSI, Dr. Patrick Ryan, will present on the network's potential for expanding research collaborations. Additionally, NEI staff will be available to discuss the requirements for the NEI Expand OHDSI Initiative for Eye Care and Ocular Imaging Challenge.

This is a unique opportunity to learn how OHDSI can empower your research, enhance collaboration, and advance eye care. Don’t miss this chance to engage with OHDSI experts and NEI representatives to explore cutting-edge possibilities in data-driven ophthalmology research!
