SUMMARY:TAO Lunch & Learn: Impact of AI Developments on Learning
DESCRIPTION:With the release of new generative AI like ChatGPT\, national pundits declared that these tools would commence “the end of the English major.” Do ye jest? While certainly ChatGPT and Google Bard have given educators pause\, is it really the end of all classes on The Canterbury Tales? Or while these new tools may alter how we look at the education process\, are there opportunities to make better learning experiences that build on the best parts of our system? \nFaculty from George Fox University will join with industry leaders in a panel discussion moderated by Emerge\, Inc. CEO Mohan Nair to discuss the impact of broader artificial intelligence developments on learning. They will discuss the potential economic opportunity of AI-enhanced learning\, how the entire community should contemplate integrating these tools in classrooms\, tutors\, or apps\, and just how reliable ChatGPT might be for that upcoming term paper. \nThis panel discussion is sponsored by George Fox Digital\, the transformation arm of George Fox University\, the state’s largest comprehensive private institution\, with twelve colleges providing graduate and undergraduate programming to over 4200 students. \nPanelists\nStay tuned for more additional panelists! \nBrian R. Doak\nPh.D\nVice President\, George Fox Digital\nGeorge Fox University \nMohan Nair\nCEO\nEmerge USA \nCaryn Lusinchi\nFHCA (For Humanity Certified AI Auditor) \nHiep Dang\nVP of Product\nHiddenLayer \nTisson Mathew\nCEO & Founder\nSkyPoint Cloud \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Examining Digital Health Through an Equity Lens
DESCRIPTION:Part of the OBI Equity in Leadership series – watch the recording here. \nDigital health tools have become more prevalent since the COVID-19 pandemic began. There is no doubt that digital health has increased access for some patients\, but are these platforms and apps reaching everyone in an equitable way? What can be done to reduce barriers\, increase access\, and reach patients who may otherwise be left behind? \nJoin PDXWIT and OBI/OTRADI for this virtual fireside chat where we will examine and discuss digital health through an equity lens. \nRegister here! \n  \nAbout the Moderator: \nHazel Valdez\, Executive Director of PDXWIT \nHazel Valdez is the Executive Director of PDXWIT. Prior to her current role\, Hazel was the Associate Director for the Oregon Bioscience Incubator(OBI) & OTRADI. Hazel worked with the executive director on various initiatives including working with entrepreneurs and early-stage bioscience and digital health organizations on their facility and resource needs (equipment\, events\, funding\, etc.) as well as OBI’s DEI initiatives. \nPrior to joining OBI\, Hazel was the Operations Manager at PDXWIT and has been part of the tech community for over 11 years. Hazel studied English at UC Irvine and holds a BA in Culinary Management from Le Cordon Blue College of Culinary Arts. Hazel sits on the board of directors as the board secretary for Saturday Academy. \nIn her free time\, she loves spending time with her wife Crystal\, traveling\, trying out new food items from around the world\, cooking\, boxing (she’s a USA Boxing official)\, and spending time with their cat Maple. \n  \nAbout the Panelists: \nCass Wahl – Senior Client Success Manager\, Communities at Included Health \nCass Wahl is a Senior Client Success Manager specialized in Included Health’s Communities Navigation & advocacy programs. They have been working with large enterprise employer clients at Included Health since January\, 2021\, partnering with Health & Welfare\, Benefits\, and DEI and ERG teams to remove barriers and make healthcare more accessible to Black and LGBTQ+ employees. Cass is passionate about the work they get to do alongside amazing teammates and clients. \nThey also lead Included Health’s LGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group and the Transgender and Gender Expansive subgroup\, building community and increasing measures of inclusion & belonging. Outside of work\, they enjoy Oregon’s beautiful scenery\, reading\, and spending time with their community. \nMatthew Wetschler\, MD\, MPH – CEO and Co-Founder of Plume \nI’m a board-certified physician passionate about improving access to healthcare using digital platforms and health technology. In my masters of public health I wrote my thesis about the HITECH act\, health system utilization\, and the adoption of technology in healthcare as well as authored a series of articles explaining health policy to physicians. In my medical residency I formed and ran a consulting group\, Inside Healthcare\, that connected business-interested physicians with health tech startups. \nIn 2017\, I suffered a spinal cord injury while surfing. I was diagnosed a quadriplegic but\, remarkably\, regained the ability to walk within six weeks\, surprising everyone. My case has redefined the standard of post-operative neurosurgical care at SFGH and gave me insight to the experience of patients in the modern healthcare system. I have been a competitive athlete for much of my life including a nationally-ranked rower\, a sponsored big-mountain skier\, and an iron-distance triathlon winner. The grit demanded by these pursuits is what I bring to my professional endeavors. \nThe insight born from 10+ years of clinical training as well as a harrowing personal journey as a patient has filled me with a deep commitment to change healthcare for the better. I am currently the CEO of Plume\, a virtual trans-healthcare service. My co-founder\, a trans-woman and physician\, and I are based in Denver\, CO. \nNavdeep S. Sangha\, MD – Vascular Neurologist at Kaiser Permanente LA Medical Center \nI was born and raised in Southern California. I was\, in fact\, born at Los Angeles Medical Center\, then known as Kaiser Permanente\, Sunset. I’ve moved around quite a bit\, but am happy to be back in Los Angeles\, near my family and friends. This is home! \nI’m a vascular neurologist\, which means that I’m a stroke doctor. It is tremendously rewarding to help people overcome a severely disabling condition\, and help them to live more fruitful and productive lives. I do this by caring for my patients as well as through my clinical research. \nTo maintain my own wellness\, I love to work out at the gym and go hiking. However\, my favorite way to thrive is to relax in the company of friends and family. \nCarol Robinson – CEO & Founder of Midato Health \nMidato Health is a digital health startup focused on giving individuals more agency over how sensitive healthcare and social service data is shared and used. Carol is also founder of CedarBridge Group\, an established consulting firm specializing in the intersection of health policy and information technology. \nBefore founding CedarBridge Group in 2013\, Carol served Governor Kulongoski’s and Governor Kitzhaber’s administrations as Oregon’s Health Information Technology Coordinator\, the Administrator of Oregon Health Authority’s Office of Health IT (OHIT)\, and Director of the Health IT Oversight Council (HITOC). She also served the Kulongoski administration as Executive Director of the Oregon Health Fund Board\, a role where she shepherded passage of ambitious health reform legislation with the largest Medicaid expansion any state had accomplished at that point in time (2009). \nCedarBridge Group has consulted to public and private sector clients in 32 states. Notable multi-year projects include working with Intel Corporation on its widely recognized value-based model of care and supporting the development of statewide health IT roadmaps in eight states. Midato Health has developed ShareApprove™\, a software solution for secure collection and access to patient forms across distributed networks of care\, including assessments\, advance directives\, and consent authorizations. ShareApprove is being implemented by its first customers in two statewide projects and a large regional initiative in 2023. \n  \n \nA big THANK YOU to our Equity in Leadership series sponsor\, Cambia Health Solutions! \nCambia Health Solutions is dedicated to making the health care experience simpler\, better and more affordable for people and their families\, including the 3.3 million people we serve through our regional health plans. \nCambia is deeply rooted in a 100-year legacy of transforming the industry and the way people experience health care.

SUMMARY:OEN's August Entrepreneur Mixer: Brainstorming
DESCRIPTION:August Entrepreneur Mixer: BRAINSTORMING \nRegister here \n5MLK is opening their doors for the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network (OEN) August Entrepreneur Mixer from 5:00 – 6:30 pm on Thursday\, August 3rd. \nDuring this event\, you’ll have the opportunity to meet ambitious founders and entrepreneurs with a broad range of expertise and skills that are open to building new relationships and strengthening the regional innovation ecosystem. All while enjoying the amazing views from the 6th floor deck of SE Portland’s newest mixed use building. \nBased on suggestions from the last mixer we’ve chosen the topic of Brainstorming as the guiding conversation of the evening. \nBrainstorming is used for spurring creativity when you’re looking for a solution to an entrenched problem in your startup — or starting a new business altogether. Some dream of hitting upon a flash of genius in the middle of the night\, but most seasoned start up founders know there is no time to be wasted waiting for inspiration to strike. \nVeronica Yanhs of Business Laid Bare will be on hand to guide the group through a fun and interactive brainstorming session and provide suggestions for how you can strengthen your individual and collaborative brainstorms. \nPricing \nOEN Member: Free\nNon-Member: $10\nLight snacks and beverages will be provided for attendees. \nThe goal of OEN Entrepreneur Mixers are to prioritize founders and give them a space to have open conversations with peers. Please only register for this event if you are an Oregon or SW Washington founder or entrepreneur at an early\, development or growth stage startup.
