Methods from data assimilation, inverse problems, and machine learning have shown exciting potential for transforming biomedicine.
First, I will show how a Bayesian Inverse approach can be used to build patient-level phenotypes of diabetes, despite noisy data conditions and weakly identifiable models. Then, I will discuss an operationalized application of data assimilation to real-time, personalized forecasting of blood glucose levels for people with type 2 diabetes. Finally, I will point to inadequacies of these approaches that stem from model error, and present novel machine learning approaches that can account for arbitrary errors in modeling and data assimilation.
