Center for Advanced Intelligence Project

Presenter: Prof. Yalin Zheng, University of Liverpool

Abstract of the talk:

Healthcare is crucial in maintaining overall well-being. Leveraging advancements in AI, we have pioneered innovative algorithms aimed at revolutionising disease management. Our AI-driven approach enables early detection, precise diagnosis, and personalized treatment plans, thereby significantly enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life. In this talk, I will delve into our groundbreaking research, showcasing our latest work in the realms of diagnosis and prognosis of various health issues with a focus on eye diseases. Our research spans multiple medical fields, illustrating how AI can transform patient care from early detection to personalised treatment strategies. Additionally, I will address the increasing importance of AI ethics in our work. As we advance AI technologies, we prioritise ethical considerations to ensure that our solutions are fair, transparent, and respect patient privacy. This commitment involves rigorous testing, addressing biases, and adhering to strict regulatory standards to build trust in AI-driven healthcare innovations.
