Road to ASH 66 🏎️

Our team at Nanbar was invited to present two posters at the American Society of Hematology for our work in sickle cell disease. Arvind represented the team, and was able to show off our predictive models and the usage of complex symptom networks in sickle cell disease. Our team learned a ton, helping developing new goals for the upcoming year. ✍️

Develop a system of SCD providers who are interested in using the app to conduct a larger study.
Work towards having 300-500 users on our next study.
Build passive algorithms - That don't require patient input, reducing patient burden.
Build something clinically impactful, not just accurate.

Our team is grateful to be invited, and we are excited for the future of Nanbar Health as a tool for those living with sickle cell disease. ASH taught us that predictive algorithms are a fantastic effort for the future of care, but need to be thoroughly researched and questioned as to whether they are accurate or whether they are clinically impactful - the true goal of ours as we move forward. 🧘
