Symposium HEALTHY AI

AI meets Medicine: Promises and limits

In a relaxed atmosphere in the common room of the mathematical institute, this topic was discussed in various facets and from different perspectives.

Whether the topic was “Model-driven or Data-driven” or the question was “Games, Gadgets or AI: What will transform our lives?” – the discussions were stimulated by short keynote speeches and then actively discussed in the auditorium.

The keynote by Professor Steven Niederer (King’s College London) on the topic of “Computational Modeling: Prime time for the clinics” was also discussed controversially and was a real highlight.

Finally the speakers and the audience argued about what is already possible – Real-world implementation of data science and AI.

All day long the posters from this year’s competition were issued. The best placed won the Informatics for Life Award which was given for the third time.

Congratulate to this year’s winner, Malte Tölle.

Informatics for Life Teams finished at the HeidelbergMan Triathlon 2022

In almost perfect weather (it could have been a bit cooler), the athletes faced the competition course, which is beautiful and demanding at the same time.

The swimmers jump into the cool water at the old bridge to the Neckarwiese and hand over to the cyclists there. His path runs twice on the Königsstuhl on a wooded circuit. The last stage takes the runner up the Philosophenweg and finally back down to the finish line on the Neckarwiese.

Congratulations to our Informatics for Life Teams, who finished with a top time and deservedly enjoyed this year’s finisher medals.

Special thanks go to the Klaus Tschira Foundation for the great support and of course to our fans.

I4L – Yearly Meeting

Our yearly meeting on November 13th was joined by an incredible number of participants. Also Ms Spiegel an Ms Spahn from the Klaus Tschira Stiftung signed in.

This years speakers illuminated not only their field of research but also the state of the art and other new innovations so that we got a colorful and varied overview.

We also started our “Informatics for Life Best Poster Award” which 13 young scientists took part in and presented their projects. In the end, the jury awarded two first prizes. They go to David Lehmann, as well as to Roger Karl and Lalith NagSharan Gururaj.

Congratulations!

5th Lecture Series

At our 5th Lecture Series last week, Prof. Stefan Listl gave an interesting talk on „Getting teeth into Clinical Decision Support for integrated NCD management”

Clinical Decision Support (CDS) systems offer unique potential for improving chronic care. Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular and dental diseases are the three most expensive diseases in the EU.

However, as recently highlighted by WHO and The Lancet, the intrinsic links between oral and general health have often been neglected. This talk will provide insights into the chances and challenges involved in the development of a prototypic CDS system for integrated management of NCDs at the interface of medical and oral health care.
