Bridging Research, Education, and Implementation: Medical AI for Clinical Innovation and Societal Impact
This breakout session, “Bridging Research, Education, and Implementation: Medical AI for Clinical Innovation and Societal Impact”, brings together leading experts from Hokkaido University (HU) and Seoul National University (SNU) to explore the future of medical AI. The session will highlight cutting-edge developments in MRI, AI-assisted imaging, and nuclear medicine, showcasing how these technologies are being translated from research to real-world clinical practice. The session will also focus on the societal implementation of AI, sharing practical know-how from both institutions on regulatory pathways, hospital integration, and collaboration with industry partners.
In addition to research advances, the session emphasizes the role of medical AI education in training the next generation of innovators. Participants will learn how HU and SNU are developing educational frameworks that integrate medical science, engineering, and data science to prepare globally minded professionals.
Through knowledge exchange and international collaboration, this session aims to accelerate the clinical adoption of AI technologies and amplify their positive impact on patients, healthcare systems, and society at large.
