Talk Title: Public Health in the Digital Age: Opportunities, Challenges, and Breakthroughs

Speaker Bio: Gayo Diallo is a Full Professor of Computer Science and Digital Health at the Bordeaux Public Health School of the University of Bordeaux. He serves as the deputy director of the Assessing Health in a Digitalizing Real-World Setting (AHeaD) research group of the Bordeaux Population Health Lab. He is an affiliate member of the Connected Minds Program at York University in Canada and was a Visiting Professor at University of Minnesota in 2022. His expertise lies in harnessing symbolic AI approaches and semantic technologies for healthcare and ICT for societal development (ICT4D), with various applications (e.g., Drug Discovery, Diseases Tarjectory Prediction), including a focus on low- and middle-income countries. Dr. Diallo’s prolific research has yielded over 110+ peer-reviewed articles (Inf. Fusion, JMIR, IEEE/ACM TCBB, Sci Rep, …) and patents. A true pioneer in healthcare informatics and symbolic AI, Dr. Diallo’s groundbreaking work paves the way for leveraging technology to revolutionize global health outcomes.

Abstract: This talk will strive to show how Computational and Digital Technology is becoming a Game-Changer in Public Health Transformation. Dr. Diallo will explore how cutting-edge digital and computational advancements are reshaping public health into a more efficient, data-driven, and accessible domain. He will highlight critical challenges, emerging opportunities, and real-world implementations across various public health sectors (inclunding drug repositionning and phramacovigilance, environmental health, health promotion for underserved population). Special attention will be given to the impact of digital transformation in developing countries and low- and middle-income nations, where innovation has the potential to drive meaningful change and improve health outcomes at scale.

Keynote – Day 2

Thursday, June 19th, 2025 – 09:00 to 10:00

Speaker: Dr. Eamonn Keogh

Talk Title: Finding and Exploiting Repeated Structures in Medical Time Series

Speaker Bio: Dr. Keogh is a Distinguished Professor of Computer Science at the University of California. He is the inventor of many of the most commonly used time series data mining primitives including, PAA, LBkeogh, UCR-Suite, the Matrix Profile, SAX, Time Series Motifs and Time Series Shapelets. The last six ideas have gone on to garner at least a thousand citations each. With 32 papers, he is the most prolific author in the Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery journal and a top-ten most prolific author in ACM SIGKDD, IEEE ICDM and SIAM SDM (with 32/47/27 papers respectively). He has won numerous awards, including: The Bell Labs Bronze Prize 2021, the ACM SIGKDD 2022 Test of Time Paper Award, the 2021 IEEE ICDM Research Contributions Award, Two Google Faculty Awards, and best paper awards at SIGKDD (twice), SIGMOD (1), ICDM (three times) and SDM. He is the creator of the UCR Time Series Classification Archive, which has been used in more than 5,000 research papers.

Abstract: It is well understood that the main key to understanding discrete strings such as DNA is to reason about conserved structures, i.e. DNA motifs, both within and between chromosomes. In this talk Dr. Keogh will argue that conserved structures in real-valued time series can be just as useful and actionable. A motif in medical telemetry must have a cause, and in many cases those causes have a semantic interpretation, such as  pulsus paradoxus in ECGS, eyeblinks in EOGs, K-complexes in EEGs etc. Once discovered, these motifs can be exploited by downstream algorithms such as classification, clustering, rule-discovery, segmentation, summarization, compression and anomaly detection. Dr. Keogh will further show that recent progress in time series data mining means that the discovery of time series motifs in large medical datasets is now practical with simple tools, and time series motifs ready to be exploited by researchers and medical professionals. Dr. Keogh will illustrate his talk with case studies I conducted with leading cardiologists on real datasets. Finally, Dr. Keogh will conclude his talk by providing resources such as simple-to-used code and datasets, that will allow the audience to start searching their datasets for time series motifs.

Keynote – Day 3

Friday, June 20th, 2025 – 09:00 to 10:00

Speaker: Dr. Fátima Sánchez Cabo

Talk Title: Towards Digital Twins for Cardiovascular Research

Speaker Bio: Dr. Sanchez-Cabo is a mathematician by training, working for 25 years in bioinformatics. Her focus is the integrative analysis of big biomedical data using mathematical models and advanced statistical techniques, including AI approaches and causal inference methods. After obtaining her PhD in Life Sciences from the University of Manchester and a postdoctoral stay at the Graz University of Technology (Austria) she joined the National Center for Cardiovascular Research, where she currently leads the Computational Systems Biomedicine Lab and the Bioinformatics Unit, which integrate a team of 25 bioinformaticians of different backgrounds. So far she has authorshipped more than 120 scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals and obtained over 7M € in competitive calls at the national and international level. She is also an associate professor at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, member of the advisory board of the European Elixir infrastructure and the vicepresident of the Spanish Society for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (SEBiBC).

Abstract: Digital twins are high-resolution models of individuals built upon their multi-layer and dynamic molecular and phenotypical characteristics, integrating prior knowledge with patient-specific data. Widely used in other fields, they are a young field in biomedicine, since the underlying networks are often unknown. Thanks to the large amount of molecular, clinical and imaging data gathered in different biobanks, and particularly in the PESA study at CNIC (https://pesastudy.org/), Dr. Sánchez Cabo team are applying causal inference techniques at the core of explainable AI to infer the personalized paths leading from health to disease. This virtual representations of individuals with similar characteristics, can be used to simulate the effect of different interventions on CV health. Also, the longitudinal nature of their studies makes it possible to test in vivo the proposed models.
