SUMMARY:From Wet-Lab Scientist to Data-Driven Computation: Utilizing HPC t
 o Tackle Disparities in Healthcare and a Call for HPC Education
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\n\nFrom Wet-Lab Scientist to Data-Driven Computation:
  Utilizing HPC to Tackle Disparities in Healthcare and a Call for HPC Educ
 ation\n\nHughes\n\nA pivotal change in tackling medical disparities occurr
 ed as a serendipitous decision to apply to an XSEDE program this July. It 
 was my first insight delving into the world of computation and utilizing s
 upercomputing resources to explore research I was curious about. With a fo
 undation primarily in wet-lab research, this was a whole new world to expl
 ore and brought much excitement.\n\nThe abrupt mass utilization of telemed
 icine to accommodate the COVID-19 pandemic guidelines created a unique nee
 d of resuming care while at a distance and reserving limited resources for
  prioritized patients. This study investigated the rising adoption of tele
 health and disparities in remote care that might widen, acknowledging that
  it is imperative to pioneer an equitable digital health era and ensure th
 e innovation curve does not reinforce the social gradient of health. \n\n
 Through use of XSEDE and Texas Advanced Computing Center resources, data w
 as analyzed to investigate barriers in coverage as a replacement to in-off
 ice care. Case studies were presented to highlight the discrepancy in tele
 health visits versus expected visits. To explore this deficit in care and 
 identify which populations are most at risk of telehealth becoming a barri
 er, the basic defining factor of telehealth was examined: access to the di
 gital platform on behalf of both the provider and the patient; if one side
  was severed in access, there was no care that could take place digitally.
  The two chief prongs of research first investigated were 1. technology ac
 cess at home, 2. local hospital telehealth integration and feasibility.\n\
