AI/ML Innovations: Transforming medical treatment and diagnostics

9 July 2024

UCL's AI/ML for Medical Treatment & Diagnosis Workshop brings together healthcare industry partners and UCL academics to explore the applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) in imaging, pharmaceutics, bioinformatics, and innovations.

On 9 July 2024, over sixty UCL academics and external partners gathered at the AI/ML for Medical Treatment & Diagnosis workshop at 皇家华人 BaseKX and online, focusing on AI and machine learning in imaging, pharmaceutics, bioinformatics and innovations.

Key insights on the application of AI/ML in healthcare:

  • Better data processing: Especially useful in processing high-dimensional data, e.g. in bioinformatics or imaging settings, to identify specific characteristics.
  • Enhanced diagnosis: Efficiently identify complex patterns for accurate disease diagnosis and predictions.
  • Advancing science: Efficient processing of large volumes of data by automated statistical methods enables data-driven modelling.
  • Enabling Innovations: Wide applications, spanning from novel biomarker discovery to computer-assisted surgery.

Examples of applications were given on identifying lung fibrosis, clustering microscopy images, detecting inherited retinal diseases, detecting skin cancer, using computer-assisted and robotic medical interventions, brain tumour radiotherapy, and controlled biomarker discovery, etc.

The event was organised by the UCL Faculty of Mathematical & Physical Sciences - Innovation & Enterprise, in collaboration with the Translational Research Office, aiming to exchange knowledge and foster collaborations.
