Pediatric and Lifespan Data Science Conference

Pediatric and Lifespan Data Science Conference is organized by Rady Children's Health and will be held from Apr 29 - 30, 2026 at Hyatt Regency Irvine, Irvine, California, United States of America.

Description:
This two-day event will bring together experts in medicine, research, and data science from across the globe to address the most pressing challenges in pediatric and lifespan research. Throughout our lives, our health is intertwined with changing risk factors, symptoms, and clinical interventions. This conference will address the unique requirements and technological tools for analysis of data across the lifespan, from childhood through advanced age.

The conference will cover the intersection of precision medicine, artificial intelligence, and health equity. A mental health panel will address managing and predicting suicide in youths and adolescents. Other discussions will focus on distinguishing valuable AI applications in healthcare from mere buzz, patient and family insights on managing complex medical conditions, health insurance agency perspectives, the role of hospital administrators, and the potential of data and improvement science to resolve related issues. Additionally, a healthcare data science challenge (Datathon) will be organized for students and data scientists.

Participation in this event supports real-world change through structured discourse, interdisciplinary collaboration, and shared decision-making. The conference serves as both a platform for innovative ideas and a launchpad for actionable outcomes. Attendees will engage with presentations that demonstrate tangible progress from the previous year, including initiatives shaped by community insights and patient contributions.
