The technology could provide single institutions access to advanced predictive tools they could never develop on their own to both advance research and improve patient outcomes.
Called “LEARNER,” researchers summarized the platform’s development at the National Science Foundation’s Convergence Accelerator Expo 2021, an event that shares the program’s research portfolio in an exhibition format, like a big science fair.
