Hello, I'm John Brower but go by "jb." I started using my abbreviated name when I was on a project with five John's on the team. Healthcare is a passion I've possessed since graduating from nursing school in 1985 but my relationship with technology proceeds with the purchase of my first computer in 1977. 

I've chosen to pursue both passions as a healthcare technology professional and currently work in the industry at a hospital system in Dallas, Texas, in data science and interfacing. Technology in healthcare is increasing and offers the potential to improve lives. These technologies are costly and contribute to the increasing cost of care. Reducing costs and improving the quality of care are important considerations, and data holds the key to finding those solutions.

As a Doctor of Computer Science in Data Analytics at Colorado Technical University, I explore the science behind machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence in the assessment of large biometric datasets. As the population increases and ages, the need to use intelligent technologies is essential in managing health. The accumulation of data requires technologies that efficiently process information and contribute to improved quality of life.
