Work Experience 5/24

Today I spent most of my day having individual meetings with each of the team members. Throughout all of these meetings, I learned that DIHI’s main focus lies around improving health equity and accessibility. Unknown to me,  the US currently utilizes a very underwhelming health care program. In fact, the average spending on health care is $11k per capita. When I learned this fact, I realized how important the jobs of the people working in DIHI are. In the most recent project, sepsis watch, they are able to use a set of models to predict if someone will become septic. This innovation has shown positive results with data suggesting that it has saved many lives. This field of work is so interesting because it combines medicine, tech, and business and promotes the wellbeing of American health while also making a profit for the health care system.
