Abt: Data Science & Tech News

November 2023

Dear Colleague,

 

I’m excited to present you with the latest edition of our Data Science e-newsletter. Data has the power to reshape industries, fuel innovation, and solve longstanding challenges to the health and well-being of humans worldwide.

 

Below, you will read about Abt’s pursuit of cutting-edge technologies such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), Generative AI, computer vision, and more to address longstanding challenges. We address questions like how to ensure your Minimum Viable Product is viable for all, and how the transformative power of data can be harnessed to focus on social determinants of health (SDOH) interventions, reshaping the healthcare journey for beneficiaries.

 

I invite you to share the newsletter with interested colleagues, networks, and partners, and share your ideas for what you want to see in the future.

 

Take good care,
