The HEALTHY-AI Lab centers its research on three core themes: medical imaging, AI in prostate MRI and health.
To drive these advancements, the lab leverages key technical AI components, focusing primarily on:
Computer Vision
Decision Making
Information Retrieval
Natural Language Processing
Machine Learning
With a commitment to socially aware, explainable, and responsible systems.
The AI for Agro-Food Lab is dedicated to developing trustworthy, robust artificial intelligence (AI) technology for use in healthcare, with a primary focus on assisting with prostate cancer diagnosis using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and exploring the ethical challenges of achieving trustworthy AI.
The lab’s mission and vision are to improve, for prostate MRI, health coverage by cost-effective AI-enabled workflows and access to quality healthcare services through AI-supported diagnosis.
The impact of the lab lies in maximizing the quality of care, reducing healthcare costs, and reallocating time from routine decision-making to human-centric care for prostate cancer patients.
Model-driven AI methods for prostate MRI analysis: aims to develop AI methods for prostate MRI analysis that are repeatable, reproducible, and safe.
AI-assisted clinical pathway analysis: aims to develop methods that can handle pathway analysis data and provide trustworthy predictions. Pathway
Prostate MRI detection AI – Scientific quality management for repeatability and safety: aims to provide AI-based solutions for MRI detection in a continuous feedback framework.
AI-assisted MRI surveillance of prostate cancer: aims to develop AI that can optimally interpret imaging follow-up.
AI-assisted MR acquisition and steering: aims to develop AI that helps MRI to scale up to widespread clinical adoption.
