SUMMARY:IEEE CTS CTCN/LMAG Hybrid Meeting\, 10-22-2026\, "The Future of Healthcare Analytics: From Dashboards to AI Agents"
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare organizations have more data than ever\, spread across claims\, clinical and EHR systems\, finance and operations\, and quality measures. Yet most analytics still follows a slow cycle: data feeds dashboards\, analysts read them\, and leaders decide. This talk traces how healthcare analytics has evolved\, from IT-run reports and enterprise dashboards in Tableau and MicroStrategy\, through self-service BI\, to conversational analytics with tools like Databricks Genie. It follows a single healthcare claim through a modern data warehouse to show where analysts' time goes today and where AI agents can take on part of that work\, from spotting risk signals to recommending action. The talk then looks ahead to multi-agent systems and autonomous healthcare by 2028 and beyond\, and offers a maturity model so organizations can assess where they stand. It argues for a partnership in which AI brings speed and pattern detection while people bring context\, empathy and judgment. It ends with four takeaways: invest in data foundations\, adopt conversational analytics\, build governance in\, and prepare for agentic healthcare.\nSpeaker(s): Bindu\nAgenda:\n6:25 to 6:35 PM – Open for participants to enter and network.\n6:35 to 6:40 PM – IEEE LM and CTCN Business meeting and to introduce speaker.\n6:40 to 7:55PM – Formal Program and Q&A.\nRoom: Community Room 8\, Bldg: Asian American Resource Center\, 8401 Cameron Rd\, Austin\, Texas\, United States\, 78754\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/583502

SUMMARY:MedProb: Probing Internal Representations of Vision-Language Models for Medical Question Answering
DESCRIPTION:Erfan Nourbakhsh will present on his PhD work.\nTitle: MedProb: Probing Internal Representations of Vision-Language Models for Medical Question Answering\nSee Preprint:\nhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2609.04336\nThis paper reveals that standard AI models already contain a wealth of hidden medical knowledge that traditional testing methods miss. By using a simpler\, direct evaluation technique called MedProb\, researchers extracted remarkably accurate medical insights from smaller\, general-purpose models without needing expensive specialized training.\nRegistration details:\nSeating goes to those who register via this vtools event in the order received; plan ahead to REGISTER.\nRegistration Fees:\nAt the door\, there is a $20.00 fee for Members\, $30.00 for Guests and $5.00 for Students. We accept Cash or Check\, no credit cards. Exact amounts preferable. Remainder of the tab will be picked up by the EMB.\nSpeaker(s): Erfan Nourbakhsh\,\nAgenda:\n11:00 – Welcome\n11:30 – Introduction and presentation\n12:00 – Lunch\n12:30 – Q and A\n13:00 – Adjourn\nRoom: Mission room\, Alamo Cafe\, 14250 San Pedro Ave\, San Antonio\, TX 78232\, San Antonio \, Texas\, United States\, 78232

SUMMARY:Luncheon - Tuesday 27 October - Mona\, Mona Vale
DESCRIPTION:You and your friends are invited to join other members at the Mona restaurant (previously Park House) for lunch at 1230 on Tuesday 27 October.\nThe entrance to the restaurant is the second down the drive on the western side near Coles.\nThese are casual and informal events.\nThe Venue is just north of the terminus of B1 bus\, in Park St\, just off Barrenjoey Rd. It is a very short stroll across the park.\nTake it as an opportunity to get out\, enjoy the company and the food. As usual it is pay for yourself.\nFor those interested the menu can be found at (https://parkhouse.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Park-House-Main-Menu.pdf)\nThe Section is making these lunches a regular event. There are a number of people who take this opportunity to see the sights of Sydney using public transport\, even a ferry ride.\nThe lunches are every two weeks subject to suitable venues being found.

SUMMARY:SusTech Talk October 2026 - The Manifesto of Hope: A New Social Contract for Our Human Family
DESCRIPTION:The Manifesto of Hope: A New Social Contract for Our Human Family\nSatya Brata Das\nTuesday\, October 27\, 2026\, 6-7 pm PT\nThe U.S. and a host of major corporations have shelved their efforts to replace carbon-spewing technologies with clean energy. Despite years of international pledges\, global efforts have failed to stop rising temperatures from endangering the planet. Yet in The Manifesto of Hope\, published this October\, the author\, a journalist and veteran of global climate conferences\, shows that the effort to make the world green and more fair\, especially for the Global South\, is an unstoppable force.\nSustainability is being powered by solid economics: Green and renewable energy is much more profitable and economically viable than any new fossil fuel ventures. The world is moving ahead with sustainability plans\, and in the absence of the U.S.\, the leaders will be China and India.\nAt a time when efforts by global politicians have stalled while climate emergency\, conflict\, and corruption have corroded all our aspirations for a just society in a liveable planet\, the author aims to empower citizen leaders to push for tough and enforceable measures to save the planet and our species. Since IEEE Planet Positive 2030 is central to the actionable solutions in the book\, this talk is a good opportunity to discuss the implications of Strong Sustainability by Design and how it can be implemented. "The future is a matter of choice\, not fate\," the author says. "Let us choose to lead."
