Making AI Accessible in Healthcare

The UCD AI Healthcare Hub is an interdisciplinary accelerator for data-rich projects in collaboration with SAS Institute. The Hub aims to make Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Intelligence technologies accessible to all non-coding researchers to accelerate their projects and enable data-driven decisions to all. Impactful research programmes to date include AI_Premie, Covid Cocoon and AI_PredictMS. The Human Health Impact Technology (HHIT) series shares insights from global thought leaders in this highly innovative space.
