'Transforming Healthcare' lecture series spotlights the possibilities and challenges ahead
While a recent explosion in AI technology has exposed its possibilities to the public with online systems such as ChatGPT and Dall·E, researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have been exploring the rapidly evolving technology for years and are beginning to harness its problem-solving powers to change healthcare.
Already, researchers in ophthalmology are showing success in early detection of a leading cause of preventable blindness in premature infants that could break access barriers and help babies around the world. And both of the region's top hospitals on campus are reducing sepsis deaths, a major killer of patients, through collaborative, data-driven programs that are predicting the disease sooner and saving lives.
"On this campus, we are determined to be a leader in this field," Chancellor Don Elliman said in his opening remarks of the 2024 spring "Transforming Healthcare: Changing the Practice of Medicine with AI" held on April 4. The chancellor-hosted lecture series showcases top CU Anschutz scientists and their work for the community.
