Contribution of the HSLU
As a university of applied sciences, we bring specialist technical know-how to the table and are highly skilled at communicating complex content in an accessible and practical way. We offer an informed, objective perspective on the interplay between artificial intelligence, clinical practice and the relevant ethical framework—without hype or uncritical trust in technology. The talks are designed to be thought-provoking; they address pressing questions and motivate participants to further engage with the topic.
What we offer:
- A 90-minute keynote delivered by experts from the HSLU with experience in AI and medicine, followed by
- A drinks reception and networking opportunity
- Information resources in several languages (depending on the region and specific requirements)
Becoming a partner institution
It is essential to the success of this endeavor that we collaborate with health institutions that share our agenda. It is a defining feature of our talks that they are delivered on-site, where the specialists work and AI applications are directly relevant. Meanwhile, the host institutions help to make knowledge accessible and strengthen the specialist discourse within their organization.
Your contribution:
- You provide a venue at your institution.
- You help to promote the event (e.g., via intranet, newsletter, posters).
We look forward to hearing from you.
AIMED at a glance
Relevance of AIMED
Integrating AI into day-to-day medical work is a social task. Institutions that promote knowledge-building and facilitate dialogue contribute to keeping health provision human, competent, and sustainable.
Context
The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to profoundly change many areas within medicine—from diagnostics to treatment planning and from administration to supporting clinical decision-making. This transformation predominantly affects the people in the system including doctors, nurses, medical technical assistants, health informatics workers, and senior managers in the health sector.
That is why the Lucerne School of Computer Science and Information Technology has launched the AIMED (Artificial Intelligence in Medicine) project. Its aim is to assure the quality and preserve the agency of the Swiss healthcare system in the long-term.
The series of talks for healthcare professionals is rooted in practice. It aims to build an understanding of the developments around AI, to critically reflect on them, and to showcase continuing education options in the field. On this tour of lectures, experts and specialists visit organizations with an interest in the subject ranging from hospitals and clinics to cantonal and private institutions, to healthcare and vocational training centers across Switzerland.
