Tech talk: Title: Agentic AI for Smarter Medical Pre Authorization
Speaker: Shadab Hussain (Google Developer Expert)
Abstract: Pre-authorization (pre-auth) is a critical, yet labor-intensive step in healthcare workflows: verifying whether a proposed medical treatment or procedure is covered under a patient’s insurance. This often involves cross-checking diagnoses, policy rules, clinical guidelines, and historical claims records. In this talk, we present a reference implementation of a medical pre-authorization agent built on Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK) framework (Python), and discuss its architecture, challenges, and potential for real-world impact.

Tech talk: Title: Monitoring Predictive Models in Production
Speaker: Roland Abi (Octane)
Abstract: Monitoring Predictive Models in Production: Ensuring Performance, Fairness, and Trust after Deployment

There is parking available in the building garage for $26. If you park in the garage, head to the Concourse level of the building and look for the University of Maryland suite. The building is also metro accessible. Federal Triangle is the closest metro stop, but it is also walking distance from Metro Center. If you walk from the metro, the closest entrance to the UMD suite is down a set of stairs in the Woodrow Wilson Plaza. Next to a statue of a silver rose in the middle of the Plaza, you will find a set of stairs and an elevator. Go down the stairs, turn around, and walk to the entrance behind the stairs. Go through the security checkpoint, then walk straight down the hall and look for the University of Maryland suite on your left.
