Hello Julia Community!

I’m thrilled to share a major milestone: I’ve officially completed my Google Summer Of Code 2025 project with JuliaHealth! This summer, I had the incredible opportunity to improve tooling for patient-level prediction pipelines in the healthcare space. My project was structured in two main phases:

Phase 1: HealthBase.jl

Added schema-aware support for OMOP CDM tables.

Developed a new HealthTable interface for working with OMOP CDM data.

Introduced preprocessing utilities to make healthcare data easier to use for downstream modeling.

Phase 2: OMOPCDMFeasibility.jl

Built a package to perform pre and post-cohort feasibility analysis.

This tool helps ensure reliable cohort studies and trustworthy research outcomes.

Throughout this journey, I not only learned a lot about Julia and healthcare data science, but also about contributing to open-source and working in a collaborative research ecosystem.

A huge thanks to my mentor, Jacob S Zelko (@TheCedarPrince) for his constant guidance and encouragement throughout the project, this wouldn’t have been possible without his support.

I am truly excited to continue contributing to JuliaHealth and the open-source community and I welcome any thoughts, suggestions and feedback you may have.
