Medical large models, AI in neurology, an image-reading robot, validation of AI products.
Platforms and industry
A regional platform of 9 hospitals, data governance, health industry parks.
At every clinic and company the group talks to doctors, AI engineers and managers. You can ask about AI adoption, the ROI of digital tools, model validation and data protection. Format: visits to leading hospitals, meetings with technology companies, discussions with management and technical teams, practical case reviews.
