Week 2 - MBA 6101 - Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Application in Safety Oversight for Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are crucial for the development and approval of new medical treatments and drugs. However, ensuring the safety of the participants is of utmost importance. This is where the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) can play a significant role. These technologies can help streamline the safety oversight process and make it more effective, thereby improving the overall quality of clinical trials. Here are some of the key applications of AI and ML in safety oversight for clinical trials: 1.    Adverse Event Monitoring: AI algorithms can be trained to detect and identify adverse events that occur during a clinical trial. The algorithms can analyze large amounts of data quickly and accurately, which can help identify potential safety risks earlier and prevent adverse events from reoccurring. 2.   Predictive Modeling: AI algorithms can be used to develop predictive models that can help identify participants who are at higher risk of experiencing adverse e

Week 2 - MBA 6101 - Creating a Website and Domain with Google Sites: As Easy as 123

As a beginner in website design, I would have thought it necessary to have some coding or design background to create my own website. Of course, I remember the days of Myspace where we all had our own "websites," using the most basic of HTLM codes to customize wallpaper or music. But Google Sites makes it even easier than those days of the past, with templates, simple blocking, options to upload images directly using a Google Image search, and even embedding links, all with a simple click of a button or two. You should know, a Google account is required to create a site using Google Sites. If you need assistance with setting up a Google account you can find information on that here . Once you have an account set up you will need to access your Google Drive . From here, you can create a multitude of documents, forms, or even a site. To create a website, simply click the "New" button, hover over "More," and click on "Google Sites."         From her

Week 1 - MBA 6101 - How Does Guerilla Marketing Differ From Traditional Marketing?

T o understand the difference between traditional and guerilla marketing strategies we must first understand what guerilla marketing is. Jay Conrad Levinson  provides a comprehensive overview of the concept in his book of the same title,  Guerilla Marketing . The idea is simple, any marketing strategy that can be put in place by any individual or small business would qualify as a guerilla marketing technique. These can include business cards, social media sites, company websites, fliers on bulletin boards, mailers, brochures, and many more options. While certain strategies used by the "guerilla" can also be leveraged by larger companies, for the most part these strategies will be used by smaller companies due to the nature of their needs. With limited funding, traditional strategies may not be successful if implemented by the small business or individual. This is because traditional methods rely on a large budget to create television advertisements, billboards, magazine adver

Week 1 - MBA 6101 - Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Are We Losing that Human Touch?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are two of the most rapidly advancing technologies of our time. They have the potential to revolutionize the way we live and work, making many tasks faster, more efficient, and more accurate. But as we continue to integrate these technologies into our lives, it's important to consider the impact they may have on the human experience. One of the most significant concerns about AI and ML is that they may lead to the loss of jobs. As machines become better at performing tasks that were once done by humans, there's a risk that many people will find themselves out of work. This could have a significant impact on the economy and our society as a whole. Another concern is that AI and ML systems may lack the empathy and understanding that human beings possess. For example, in healthcare, AI-based diagnostic tools can be more accurate than humans, but they may not be able to provide the emotional support and understanding that a hum
