Planning Underway for 3rd Coast AI for Health Bowl
I.AIM is excited to host the 2nd annual 3rd Coast AI for Health Bowl this fall. The goal of the event is to bring together talent in medicine and computer science to raise the profile of augmented intelligence (AI) across multiple institutions, including Northwestern, Notre Dame, University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, Penn State, Washington University, and Toronto University. The Bowl is open to all higher education institutions.
Multi-disciplinary teams will identify problems, pitch a creative solution, and present their proof of concept. Team proposals could include risk prediction, imaging analysis, augmented decision making, or mitigating bias. The top three teams will win prizes.
For more information and to get involved, email us at IAIM@northwestern.edu.

Talk Through Ideas at the AI4H Clinic
March 3, 2022, 3:30-4:30p.m. CT
As part of a Health Sciences Integrated Program (HSIP) course (HSIP442) for doctoral students, clinicians interested in AI for healthcare are invited to join on March 3 to talk through their problems and ideas.
Students, led by the instructor and course staff, will provide consultation to clinicians, think over and debate on solutions to the problem and submit a write-up of their experiences shortly after the session. For physicians who previously presented a challenge with analysis-ready data early on, students were able to turn analysis into a class project resulting in publications.
