PREPARE Challenge Pitches: Proof-of-Concept AI Models for Early AD/ADRD Prediction

    The PREPARE Challenge (Pioneering Research for Early Prediction of Alzheimer's and Related Dementias EUREKA Challenge) aimed to advance data and algorithms for accurate, innovative, and representative early prediction of AD/ADRD. At a virtual pitch event, data scientists who developed proof-of-concept models based on their prize-winning Phase 2 work will share how they used social determinants of health or acoustic data to predict cognitive decline. Each team will deliver a 5-minute pitch focusing on practical takeaways and lessons learned from their model development process on Thursday, August 28, 2025 3-5pm ET.


    You can register ahead of the event and registration remains open until the event begins.


    To learn more about the PREPARE challenge, visit the challenge website or read about the Phase 1 results where teams identified key public datasets and the Phase 2 results where solvers developed the predictive models being presented at this event. Explore responses from society and communities, such as providers, employers, and policymakers.



    BSR Upcoming Workshop Spotlight: Changing Ownership of Health Care Entities in the U.S.

      BSR is hosting a virtual workshop on Changing Ownership of Health Care Entities in the U.S. on Thursday, September 4 and Friday, September 5 from 10 AM to 2 PM ET to explore trends in health care delivery, focusing on health care contexts (e.g., hospitals, nursing homes) that are consolidating and/or being acquired by investment-oriented groups, such as private equity firms (PE) or real-estate investment trusts (REITs).


      To further the understanding of what these trends mean for patient health outcomes, this workshop will feature sessions that:

      • Describe more recent trends in hospital/health system consolidation; acquisition of nursing homes; and hospices by large chains

      • Identify the different types of institutions increasingly involved in health care over the last two decades, particularly newer players

      • Describe implications for patient health, as well as data needs and reasons for gaps in this evidence

      • Explore responses from society and communities, such as providers, employers, and policymakers



      “Medication Adherence in Hypertension: A Cluster Randomized Clinical Trial”

        Saul Blecker, MD, MHS is an Associate Professor of Population Health and Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. He is a general internal medicine physician and researcher focused on improving the quality of care and outcomes for patients with chronic disease. In his research, Dr. Blecker uses electronic health record (EHR) and other large clinical datasets to understand gaps in evidence-based care delivery. He utilizes findings from this data-driven work to guide the development and implementation of electronic tools to improve patient care. Additionally, he uses a combination of advanced analytics, implementation science and practice redesign to address patient adherence to evidence-based therapies.
