Funding, research, networking – the AI Center for Health Care is training the next generation of talent for the future of healthcare. However, they face numerous hurdles along the way, some related to bureaucracy and some to unequal resources.
In this episode of the Digital Public Health Podcast, host Rasmus Cloes talks to Dr. Monika Michaelis, the coordinator of the AI Center for Health Care at the U Bremen Research Alliance (UBRA). It turns out that Bremen is becoming a leading location for the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare, and Monika explains how the center is helping to bring research findings directly into clinical practice.
Monika provides insights into interdisciplinary projects covering areas such as imaging, prosthesis development and the early detection of dementia. She explains how the center brings together researchers from a wide range of disciplines – from psychology to materials science – and thus maximizes the clinical benefits of AI applications. But not everything runs smoothly: access to health data remains a challenge that the team is particularly concerned with. But founding a company also seems to be more difficult in Bremen than in other cities. The center focuses on promoting young scientists. Monika describes how targeted support and networking are used to attract young talent to AI and health research.
In this episode, you will learn:
- AI and medicine: how the AI Center for Health Care is rethinking healthcare
- Interdisciplinary innovation: Why the interaction of different fields of expertise is so important
- Bremen as an AI location: How the UBRA is strengthening the region
- Promoting the next generation: How young talents are specifically supported
- Data access as an obstacle: Why health data is so central and often difficult to access
