Background

Every other Tuesday from 14:30 to 16:00, joint meetings are organized for everyone interested in artificial intelligence in healthcare. The organizers are the Norwegian centre for clinical artificial intelligence (SPKI), Visual Intelligence, and the Consortium for Patient-Centered Artificial Intelligence. The meetings are open to all and are particularly aimed at clinicians and researchers at UNN and UiT with an interest in artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare.

Purpose

The joint meetings aim to be a meeting place for clinicians, researchers, and others interested in AI. They are intended to facilitate collaboration, matchmaking, networking, engaging discussions, visibility, professional development, and knowledge dissemination. Additionally, the meetings serve as a platform for information and ensure progress for joint projects involving the three main organizers.

Agenda

The meetings will consist of two main parts. The first part will always be open to all. The second part will primarily discuss topics of special interest to the three co-organizers.

Part 1: Professional development and knowledge dissemination through presentations and discussions.

Part 2: Informing about and ensuring progress for our joint projects and activities involving artificial intelligence and health.

Please contact the undersigned if you know of anyone who wishes to attend the meetings, if you have suggestions for the agenda and/or wish to give a presentation.
