New Methods for Preventive Care & Personalized Treatments

Description

This workshop focuses on the development of new statistical, causal, machine learning, and optimization methods for preventive care and personalized treatment. As healthcare systems increasingly seek to intervene earlier in disease progression and tailor decisions to individual patients, there is a growing need for methods that can integrate heterogeneous data sources, estimate individualized risks and treatment effects, and support decisions that unfold over time. The workshop will examine methodological advances for risk stratification, treatment regime learning, dynamic decision-making, resource allocation, and policy evaluation, with particular attention to settings in which outcomes are rare, interventions are sequential, and evidence must be generated from both randomized and observational data

Lightning Talks

This workshop will include lightning talks for early career researchers (including graduate students). In order to propose a lightning talk, you must first register for the workshop, and then submit a proposal using the form that will become available on this page after you register. The registration form should not be used to propose a lightning talk.

The deadline for proposing is Sunday January 16, 2028. If your proposal is accepted, you should plan to attend the event in-person.

In-Person Registration

Seats are limited at the venue, which means that in-person registration may be capped prior to the workshop start date. If capacity is reached, a waitlist will be imposed, which the registration form will reflect. Early registration is strongly encouraged.

All in-person registrants must wait to receive an invitation to attend in-person from IMSI before traveling, which generally begin to be sent out 4-6 weeks in advance.

All registrants (online and in-person) will receive zoom links and are welcome to attend online.

Registration Fees

A non-refundable registration fee will be payable by credit card or debit card for any participants invited to attend this workshop in-person. In-person participants agree to pay the non-refundable fee by the deadline given by IMSI. Failure to pay the fee by the deadline may mean that the invitation to attend in-person is revoked.

Current fees:

• $25 for students
• $50 for non-students
