In the ‘AI in Medicine’ lecture, each semester students are introduced to problems and solution strategies from current practice in two guest lectures.

On Monday, 13th January, Philip Hempel from Medical Informatics at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen paid a visit to KIS*MED. He gave a presentation on the topic of ‘Explainable Artificial Intelligence on Biosignals for Clinical Decision Support’. Thanks to his training as an emergency paramedic and many years of experience in the emergency services, he is familiar with the difficulties that arise when making diagnoses under time pressure and also knows a large number of disease patterns.In his research, he has been working for three years on the application and development of AI tools for diagnostics based on biosignals such as the electrocardiogram (ECG). He turned this combination of computer science and medical practice into an exciting presentation with many examples of the application of Explainable AI and true stories from everyday medical practice.

To round off the day, Philip was introduced to regional delicacies. This gave rise to the idea of a new collaboration, which you will soon be able to read more about on the KIS*MED website.
