I have just completed the research visit at the University of Sharjah, NYU Abu Dhabi, and other esteemed universities. This initiative aims to strengthen connections and foster collaboration between German and Emirati academic institutes in the field of health and medical sciences. I will soon return to the Emirates to organize a one-day workshop on AI and healthcare at a prestigious academic institute. Stay tuned for more details!
Abstract. Our project aims to improve the diagnosis of Inherited Retinal Dystrophies (IRDs), a group of rare retinal diseases impacting over 2 million people globally [1]. IRDs can lead to vision problems like night blindness, color blindness, tunnel vision, and eventual blindness, greatly affecting patients’ and their families’ quality of life [4].
Abstract. Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a systemic autoimmune disease marked by inflammation of blood vessels (“vasculitis”) that can cause impairment and damage to organs [1]. GCA typically affects large and medium size arteries, such as the aorta and the temporal and axillary arteries [2–4].
I was excited to join a distinguished panel, including Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Böcker, Prof. Dr. Clemens Cyran, and Katharina Danhauser, moderated by Claus Belka, to explore AI's readiness for clinical routine. Our discussion spotlighted crucial aspects: the current state of AI in clinics and strategic placement within workflows. Emphasis was placed on robust data governance and addressing development challenges. The dialogue highlighted the importance of collaboration with stakeholders, involving regulatory bodies, and prioritizing education and training. Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this pivotal conversation shaping the future of AI in healthcare. Thanks for the invitation, Guillaume Landry!
Welcome/Willkommen (de)/اهلا وسهلا (ar) to the AI Autumn School, one of the measures of our project on affordablE collaborativE learning for global Digital heAlth (EEDA – ايدا), a platform where academia meets innovation, and global collaboration sparks intellectual excellence. Through the partnership of Albarqouni Lab at the University Hospital Bonn, University of Bonn and Helmholtz Munich in Germany and the Faculty of Health Sciences at Beirut Arab University in Lebanon, we offer an enriching educational experience that marries cutting-edge AI advancements with multi-discplines through lectures, hands-on labs, and real-world hackathon led by faculty and skilled tutors.
Thrilled to share the success of our EEDA Autumn School on AI – a global collaboration between Albarqouni Lab (Germany), Universitätsklinikum Bonn, The University of Bonn, and the Faculty of Health Sciences at Beirut Arab University (Lebanon). Over the weekend, a distinguished Lebanese delegation from the Beirut Arab University ( BAU), American University of Beirut ( AUB), and Lebanese American University ( LAU) joined us for an immersive program blending cutting-edge AI with diverse disciplines.
Very much enjoyed the time in Shanghai!
Great keynotes and lectures at the [Sino-German Symposium on AI in Medicine](https://finance.sina.cn/2023-11-21/detail-imzvkwnk8116163.d.html). I was fortunate enough to meet a couple of brilliant minds at the school! It was also a pleasure meeting my mentor Prof. Nassir Navab!
Thanks for the invitation, organziation and the warm hospitality, Prof. Kuangyu Shi 🙏🙏
