SUMMARY:Tech Talk: Leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) to Uncover Insights from Hospital Patient Feedback: Transforming patient comments into actionable improvements using AI
DESCRIPTION:Thursday April 9\, 2026 from 12:00-1:00pm\nVirtual Teams Presentation \nLeveraging a structured\, AI‑driven methodology\, this work applied advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) to more than 40\,000 free‑text patient comments\, transforming raw narratives into meaningful insights across seven focused improvement initiatives: sleeping\, cleanliness\, linens\, noise from roommates\, temperature control\, bed comfort\, and hospital‑acquired pressure injuries. Through sentiment analysis\, thematic modeling\, and rule‑based classification\, the methodology opened the black box of patient feedback\, enabling clinical and operational teams to understand not only what patients were saying\, but why issues were occurring and where they were most pronounced.   \nBy converting unstructured comments into clear themes\, campus‑specific and unit‑level patterns\, and evidence‑based priorities\, this work provided leaders with the clarity needed to target improvements where they would have the greatest impact. It now supports patient‑experience committees\, in driving focused\, data‑informed enhancements that elevate the quality\, comfort\, and overall experience of care across ChristianaCare. \nMeet the Speaker\n \n\n\nOdai Dweekat\, PhD \nSenior Data Scientist\,ChristianaCare \nDr. Odai Y. Dweekat is a Senior Data Scientist at ChristianaCare\, specializing in AI-driven healthcare innovation.  With over a decade of experience in machine learning and advanced analytics\, he leads initiatives that improve clinical outcomes and operational efficiency.  His work includes predictive modeling for AKI\, HAPI\, cancer readmission\, and patient experience analysis using NLP.  Dr. Dweekat holds a PhD in industrial and systems engineering from SUNY Binghamton and a MSc in operations management from the University of Birmingham.  He is a published researcher and frequent presenter at national conferences. \n\n\n \n\n \nMicrosoft TeamsJoin the meeting nowMeeting ID: 238 738 836 336 38Passcode: Qu6N4Xx6 \n\n\n \n\nDial in by phone \n+1 302-483-7154\,\,651112315# United States\, WilmingtonFind a local numberPhone conference ID: 651 112 315#\n \n\nTo receive instructions on obtaining (1) CME credit for attendance\, please RSVP to Debra.Reese@ChristianaCare.org. \n  \n\n\n\nWork supported by an Institutional Development Award (IDeA) from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences of the National Institutes of Health under grant number U54-GM104941 (PI:Hicks) and the State of Delaware.

SUMMARY:Innovative Discovery Series - Systems level mechanisms of memory impairment converge across a range of neurological disease
DESCRIPTION:Learning and memory impairments are frequently identified in people with a range of neurological disorders including Alzheimer’s disease\, epilepsy\, and autism spectrum disorders. These impairments have a major negative impact on quality of life and therefore it is critical that effective treatments are identified. Current approaches target disease specific mechanisms\, but this has resulted in treatments with a very modest impact. We have recognized similarities in patterns of neuronal action potential dynamics across diseases raising the hypothesis that modulation of dynamics could improve outcomes independently of underlying diagnosis. Dr. Rodney Scott\, Nemours Children’s Health\, will show data supporting this hypothesis and evidence that intervening at the level of inputs to neural systems can improve cognitive function in rodent models of neurological disease. \nLearn more \nWhen: Tuesday\, April 28\, 2026 – Noon – 1:00 P.M. \nWhere: Virtual Presentation through Microsoft Teams

SUMMARY:Tech Talk: Exploring the NIH All of Us Research Program
DESCRIPTION:Thursday May 7\, 2026 from 12:00-1:00pm\nVirtual Teams Presentation \nThe NIH All of Us Research Program is a large and long-term effort to enroll over one million people across the United States to build a diverse health database. This presentation introduces the All of Us Researcher Workbench and highlights the program’s unique strengths\, including its diverse participant population and rich longitudinal multi-modal data spanning clinical\, genomic\, and social factors. We will also showcase how these data can be leveraged with AI-driven approaches to predict disease risk\, identify high-risk individuals\, and support more precise healthcare interventions. Key challenges will be highlighted along with the potential impact of this resource on future translational research. \nMeet the Speaker\n \n\n\nCagri Ozdemir\, PhD\nSenior Data Scientist\,Delaware State Universitycozdemir@desu.edu \nCagri Ozdemir\, PhD\, is a Senior Data Scientist in the Department of Public and Allied Health Sciences at Delaware State University and a CTR-ACCEL researcher.
