Siemens Healthineers, IISc launch laboratory for AI in precision medicine

Siemens Healthineers and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) inaugurated the Siemens Healthineers-Computational Data Sciences (CDS) Collaborative Laboratory for AI in Precision Medicine at IISc Bangalore today. Peter Schardt, Chief Technology Officer of Siemens Healthineers, inaugurated this laboratory. The CDS collaborative laboratory will develop open-source AI-based tools to precisely automate the segmentation of pathological findings in neuroimaging data, with a focus on accurately diagnosing neurological diseases and analysing their clinical impact at a population level.

The laboratory has been established with the support of Siemens Healthineers Corporate Social Responsibility initiative, which also includes six M.Tech fellowships for women, aiming to enhance female representation in artificial intelligence. Dr Vaanathi Sundaresan of IISc’s Department of CDS will lead the program. The focus of this collaborative laboratory will be to work closely with neurologists, radiologists and Siemens Healthineers and integrate the developed computational models into their regular clinical workflows.

The partnership between Siemens Healthineers and IISc aims to combat neurovascular diseases and pioneer breakthroughs in healthcare.
