Bridging Research Institutions to Catalyze Generative AI Adoption by the Health Sector in the Widening Countries

Project description

Simulated real-world challenges refine the practicality of Generative AI in hospitals

Across Europe, medical practitioners face a persistent challenge: harnessing the potential of cutting-edge AI in practical medical contexts. Despite advancements, integrating AI into daily healthcare routines remains elusive. This disparity in AI implementation particularly affects countries with less developed research infrastructures. To address this,Austria and Slovenia, renowned for AI research, have joined forces with North Macedonia and Serbia. In this context, the EU-funded ChatMED project aims to bridge the knowledge gap, propagate Generative AI expertise, and redefine medical practices. Beyond innovation, ChatMED fosters cross-border collaboration, empowering Widening countries with coordination skills and revolutionising medical landscapes.

Objective

In a bid to harness cutting-edge AI advancements, Slovenia and Austria, AI research frontrunners, united with two Widening countries, North Macedonia and Serbia, to propose a transformative mission to bridge the knowledge gap, and to propagate Generative AI expertise with the goal to meld AI into pragmatic medical contexts. Together, they are laying a foundation for a cross-border collaboration methodology that through training missions, workshops, seminars, and collaborative deep dive research would enrich minds and redefine medical practices. The collective effort, wisdom, and adaptability as a guiding principle, will dive into the core of the Large Language Models to explore the capability of transforming complex medical knowledge into valuable medical diagnoses and treatment recommendations. Through simulated real-world medical challenges, the team will resonate in the practicality of Generative AI and the specific requirements that such AI-based software would require to be implemented practically in the hospitals. Through this project the partners from the Widening countries will master coordination skills, while the research on Generative AI will alter the medical landscapes.
