Using Machine Intelligence to Cure Lyme Disease

Pennsylvania is ground zero for Lyme Disease with more than 7,350 confirmed cases in 2015 or more than 25% of the 28,000 confirmed cases nationwide. Actual infection rates are widely believed to be 10 times the reported cases or close to 300,000 new Lyme cases annually.

This talk will describe how the U.S. Ecological Advanced Research & Conservation Hub (USEARCH) is using machine intelligence to take in data to research and explore the connections between Lyme Disease, genetic information and environmental factors.
