New NIH-funded program will train ASU students for the future of AI-powered medicine
Work by Teresa Wu and Baoxin Li, professors in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Fulton Schools, is contributing to the development of artificial intelligence, or AI, systems for medical imaging that can improve the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. Their progress has helped to draw support from the National Institutes of Health to train ASU doctoral students in the use of AI in health care as part of broader efforts to educate engineers and biomedical researchers in the applications of AI in their endeavors. Li says the use of AI is promises to revolutionize health care, including how many diseases are diagnosed and treated.
