Speaker

Dr Sandra Barteit
Research Group Leader
Heidelberg Institute of Global Health

Climate Resilience and Health: Building Climate Resilience and Health in LMICs using AI and Sensors

8:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Biography

Research Group Leader of Digital Global Health. Her research integrates artificial intelligence, data science, and sensor-based technologies to assess/predict the health impacts of climate change on vulnerable populations. She is focusing on implementing biosensors for early warning systems in climate-sensitive diseases and graph databases for continuous, multi-granular data analysis.
