Med AIJam Winners Announced |
Since 2012, the School of Medicine has partnered with the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences (ICS) to host an inter-professional student-to-student competition to develop mobile health apps called the MedAppJam. For the 2019 event, SOM and ICS partnered with the Center for Artificial Intelligence in Diagnostic Medicine (CAIDM) and focused on a new them of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. This year’s event took on the name “MedAIJam”. The competition kicked-off on Feb. 11 followed by a Machine Learning Workshop led by Dr. Peter Chang on Feb. 12. The Judging and Awards Ceremony was held on Feb. 22. Five teams presented their projects in front of a panel of judges from ICS (Dr. Rick Lathrop, Dr. Alexander Ihler and Dr. Sameer Singh) and SOM/CAIDM (Dr. Peter Chang and Dr. Daniel Chow). At the Judging Event, each team was required to present their projects and answer questions from the judging panel. The dedicated work by each team during the 11-days of the competition was evident in the innovative and functionally viable applications of artificial intelligence in healthcare in the submitted projects.
