Ottawa Applied Medical AI Summit

Electronic Health Information Laboratory

Dive into the future of healthcare tech and AI with experts sharing cool insights and real-world applications.

TCC Canada - The Collaboration Centre

This invite-only event will bring together leaders from healthcare, research, education and industry to explore how large language models are being leveraged in medical research, education and clinical practice.It will look at how LLMs are being applied to support research and studied in their own right, how these tools are being used to strengthen teaching and learning and to prepare students to use AI effectively, and how AI applications are being developed and deployed in clinical practice to address real-world needs.Through real-world case studies, attendees will see how teams are building innovative AI applications to support research, streamline administration, enhance student learning, power patient-facing tools and assist clinical decision support at the point of care. The program will also include educational sessions on how to use available tools to develop and evaluate AI applications.The event will offer a focused, practical and energizing look at how the fast-moving field of medical AI is beginning to reshape healthcare and academic medicine.To express interest, contact iriamo-omari@uottawa.caOn this webpage you'll find the Summit details, including the Agenda and Speaker Bios.
