Bringing together experts from different fields is how you find true innovation to improve patient care, according to award-winning assistant professor of medicine Carrie Ye.
Ye started out as a clinical rheumatologist, seeing patients living with degenerative and inflammatory diseases that affect the joints, tendons, ligaments, bones and muscles.
In her search for better treatments, Ye wanted to look for patterns at the population level using statistics and epidemiology methods, so she learned those new skills. Crunching numbers naturally led her to understand how machine learning and artificial intelligence can help.
