Symposium Registration

Symposium Objective

The 7th Annual reimagine Health Research Symposium on Artificial Intelligence in Medical Practice and Research concerns the emerging and rapidly growing use of AI and machine learning in medicine, with a focus on how AI can improve medical practice, in terms of diagnoses and medical forecasting, as well as applications, and on how AI can be used to accelerate medical research.  We will also discuss how this new technology will benefit both practitioners and patients and how it will better inform rapid acceleration of research progress, as it has in other fields.

Sponsors

The reimagine Health Research Symposium is co-sponsored and planned by the Arizona Biomedical Research Center, the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix Translational Research Office and the Flinn Foundation.
