Artificial Intelligence and Medical Technologies

AIMT

The AIMT focus
The team focuses on artificial intelligence and original diagnostic techniques and their application in medical technologies. The group's focus reflects the rapid evolution of AI, especially in the deep-learning, where we design model architectures for specific tasks. The team has a deep history of collaboration with domestic (FNUSA, Brno, CZ; FNKV, Prague, CZ) as well as with foreign research centers (UMC+, Maastricht, NL; University of Rochester, NY, USA) and private companies (Cardion, s.r.o., MDT, s.r.o.). The collaboration resulted in many scientific and technological projects. Thanks to this broad collaboration, our software applications for fully automated analysis of biological signals and original methods help patients.

The AIMT vision
The main team vision is developing and applying new technologies to diagnose and effectively treat cardiovascular diseases.
