  Join us for a webinar with Manlik Kwong :

  Methods In Precision Canine Electrocardiogram Criteria for Research and Clinical Decision Making

  To enable the development of new veterinary clinical decision support tools and methods to facilitate and support complex ECG interpretation across the care spectrum, high fidelity data must be acquired. Further such data must be reviewed and annotated and linked to medical histories and outcomes to form reference datasets from which clinical decision aids can be derived and dissemination issues identified to translate such tools from bench to bedside. The standardization of electronic health record data is now becoming readily available and the integration of high fidelity physiological data will further expand the capacity of research and discovery.

  About the presenter:

  Manlik Kwong is currently an Engineer/Scientist at Tufts Medical Center’s Institute Clinical Research and Health Policy Studies (ICRHPS) and Sr IT Advisor for Tufts Clinical Translational Science Institute (CTSI). Within Tufts CTSI one of his primary responsibilities since 2016 is to support the CTSI One Health Alliance (COHA) program and members of its technical working group. In 2017 he adapted the human OMOP common data model for use in veterinary medicine and subsequently implemented an OMOP research data warehouse at Tufts Cummings Veterinary School of Medicine which is being used for a cardiac and antimicrobial stewardship project. Through additional supplemental grants, he designed and implemented web-based applications to utilize the veterinary OMOP warehouse to provide veterinary research services like cohort discovery, linking external evidence (veterinary abstracts in PubMed.gov) to patients and patient recruitment. He continues to collaborate with members of COHA as well as participate in the OHDSI Veterinary Workgroup and Medical Device Workgroup. In addition to his work in veterinary informatics, he is a research instructor at Tufts School of Medicine with over 20+ years working in human emergency medicine on topics of computerized electrocardiographic algorithm development within acute cardiovascular and stroke topics across the spectrum of care from 911 through hospitalization and now chronic physiological monitoring using consumer wearables in the home setting.
  

  
  

  About the AVI Webinar Series: The purpose of the AVI Webinar Series is to provide a vendor-agnostic forum for education and networking. Join us to learn from academic, industry, and government organizations who are using information technology and data science to improve the lives of animals and veterinary healthcare teams.

  Please join us for our Live Virtual Talbot Veterinary Informatics Symposium on Friday, August 15, 2025. The afternoon includes live RACE-approved CE lectures and Q&A from 12-5 pm EDT. Attendees are invited to stay for a virtual happy hour afterward.

  We are pleased to bring together speakers with a wide range of professional experience each year, including livestock medicine, small animal practice, academic research, and disease surveillance. This year's lectures have a strong focus on Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning in clinical practice and academia, as well as standard terminology.

  *Pending* CE-Credit: RACE-approved continuing education credit may be available for attendees of the live Talbot Symposium lectures! Please make sure you have registered for a RACE CE credit ticket type and filled out your license # and state in the registration form. This information will be shared with CE Broker. If you need credit for more than one state license, please contact Dr. Sara Forsythe at education@avinformatics.org.
