OSSM Students Publish Article on Human Medicine and Artificial Intelligence 

High School Students Among the First in Oklahoma to Publish Independent Research  

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA. Three OSSM senior students, guided by Theodore Lemuel Mathuram, Ph.D., have published an article in the esteemed Mary Ann Liebert publications. 

The article, titled Life in the Algo “Rhythm”: Redefining Human Medicine, was co-authored by students Krishen R. (Edmond), Ramon K. (Pauls Valley), and Zachary T. (Oklahoma City). Their research explores the growing impact of algorithms and data analytics in the field of medicine, offering insights on how these technological advancements are shaping patient care, diagnostics, and treatment approaches. 

According to OSSM President Tony Cornforth, the accomplishment reflects OSSM’s leading role in high school education. “I believe OSSM is the first high school in Oklahoma to publish independent research,” he said. “This sets OSSM apart as a premier educational institution and opens new pathways for students’ engagement in advanced scientific inquiry.” 

“Publishing this article has been a challenging yet rewarding experience,” said Ramon. “I’m grateful to OSSM for providing the skills and support that made this possible. As a student, this experience has shown me the value of perseverance and collaboration, and I’m excited to carry these lessons forward in my future work.” 

The article’s focus on the “rhythm” of algorithms in medical practice discusses the ways that data-driven methods can enhance patient outcomes by making diagnostics more precise and tailored to individual needs. Additionally, the piece emphasizes the importance of balancing technological advancement with ethical considerations to protect patient privacy and equity in healthcare. 

The research exemplifies OSSM’s commitment to hands-on, real-world learning, with students taking part in every stage of the project—from initial idea development to final publication. “We wanted to explore both the potential and the challenges of integrating technology into medicine,” Dr. Mathuram said. “Our goal is to foster a more informed perspective on the role of technology in healthcare.” 

Since its publication, Life in the Algo “Rhythm” has garnered interest within the academic community, prompting conversations about the evolving role of artificial intelligence in medicine. Dr. Mathuram and his students look forward to continuing their research and contributing further to this rapidly developing field.
