Curious about the development of algorithms, and the use of AI in the training of surgeons and assistants?
If so, please join us at this session: a lunchtime seminar and Una.Lecture, organised jointly by SAILS and the Una Europa team at Leiden University.
During the talk, Dr. Edris Mahtab, a thoracic surgeon, will speak about the work of the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department at Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) to develop Virtual Reality (VR) tools for training purposes. By combining these VR tools with advanced algorithms, they have created an intelligent simulation system that personalizes training opportunities for surgeons and assistants based on their individual needs and progress. Through the integration of Extended Reality and Artificial Intelligence, this team is revolutionising the training of surgeons and assistants.
In addition, Dr. Samuel Max — a doctor and PhD candidate at LUMC's department of cardiothoracic surgery — will share insights from his participation in Una Europa's Staff Week, Embracing AI for Professional Development. This 2024 conference, organised and hosted at Uniwersytet Jagielloński w Krakowie, brought together participants from all 11 Una Europa universities to exchange insights and share the latest advancements in AI.
Joining us in person? Feel free to bring your lunch.
Please pack or buy a lunch and bring it with you. Enjoy your meal while being inspired by our speakers! We will provide light refreshments such as coffee, tea and cookies.
