This dashboard is based on the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences’ (NIEHS) COVID-19 Pandemic Vulnerability Index (PVI), an interactive mapping application visualizing risk profiles of vulnerability to COVID-19 epidemics for the 3,142 counties in the U.S. Details on variable inclusion and methodology on PVI.
Ensuring that biomedical AI benefits diverse populations
J Zhou et al, E Biomedicine, May 4, 2021
Artificial Intelligence (AI) can potentially impact many aspects of human health, from basic research discovery to individual health assessment. It is critical that these advances in technology broadly benefit diverse populations from around the world. This can be challenging because AI algorithms are often developed on non-representative samples and evaluated based on narrow metrics. Here we outline key challenges to biomedical AI in outcome design, data collection and technology evaluation, and use examples from precision health to illustrate how bias and health disparity may arise.
Toward a fine-scale population health monitoring system
G Belbin et al, Cell, April 15, 2021
We propose a framework for repurposing data from electronic health records (EHRs) in concert with genomic data to explore the demographic ties that can impact disease burdens. Using data from a diverse biobank in New York City, we identified 17 communities sharing recent genetic ancestry. We observed 1,177 health outcomes that were statistically associated with a specific group and demonstrated significant differences in segregation of variants contributing to Mendelian diseases.
Personal Reflections on Genomics, Health Equity, and Public Health
M Rose et al, CDC Blog Post, April 19, 2021
Genomics provides opportunities to prevent, treat, or manage diseases by identifying genetic changes before signs or symptoms of disease occur. But not everyone receives the benefits provided by genomics, and some have even claimed that genomics might widen health disparities among some racial and ethnic minority groups.
