AI Cures Conference

April 25th, 2022
In-Person, Samberg Center, MIT

Tickets are only for MIT or MGB researchers.

Our Mission

In the last decade, AI has transformed many areas of our life. However,  the impact of these technologies on patient care is still limited.  Building on AI and clinical expertise of MIT and MGB, our goal is to facilitate translation and adoption of these technologies for improving diagnostics, treatment and long term outcomes for diverse patient populations. The conference will feature on-going collaborative projects in clinical AI, highlighting research innovations and  their impact on patient care at MGB.  Another important theme of the conference relates to data required for training clinical AI algorithms, with the focus on privacy, diversity and quality.  Finally, we will discuss a process of technology translation into hospitals, ranging from regulatory aspects, need for broad validation and expected changes in clinical workflow. We hope that the conference would help build new MIT-MGB collaborations  and inform the public about our collective efforts to improve patient care.
