Northwestern Medicine Healthcare AI Forum
Welcome to the Northwestern Medicine Healthcare AI Forum, where we dive into cutting-edge developments in the field of AI for healthcare. We present the latest published research and technology innovation, and facilitate open discussion among attendees.
Open to Northwestern Medicine professionals and the broader research and patient community within Northwestern University and the Greater Chicago area, our mission is to establish a thriving healthcare AI ecosystem that fosters collaboration and supports a network of dedicated scholars and professionals. We are here to promote research, innovation, and leadership while facilitating the seamless translation of AI advancements into the realm of biomedicine.
To ensure our forum delivers the most pertinent insights into AI's application across various aspects of healthcare, we have assembled a distinguished advisory board. This board comprises esteemed faculty from the fields of medicine, engineering, art and science, as well as senior leaders of the healthcare system. The advisory board is chaired by Prof. Yuan Luo, Chief AI Officer at I.AIM and Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (NUCATS).
Join us in shaping the future of healthcare through the power of artificial intelligence, as we foster a vibrant community of scholars, patients, professionals and leaders dedicated to driving innovation in this critical field.
Bi-weekly meetings take place on the Chicago campus on Fridays, 10-11am CT. This event is hybrid. In person attendees will also enjoy light refreshments and networking opportunities.
