Title: How can AI and DL help Digital Healthcare?

Abstract:

The advent of Deep Learning/Artificial Intelligence (DL/AI) technology has opened a new era in disease diagnosis by developing many practical applications in the interdisciplinary convergence of ICT and medical applications. Medical big data enables the application of newly developed ICT technologies to increasingly popular medical fields. This presentation introduces the recent progress in AI and DL-based medical diagnosis and applications. In addition, the Medical Image-Based Intelligent Diagnosis Solution (MIIDS) Research Center integrates new interdisciplinary technologies through joint research with universities, hospitals, and companies. The MIIDS Center has developed various disease diagnosis networks, including jaundice, Alzheimer's, cardiac arrhythmia, mechanical ventilation weaning prediction, etc.
