The Science Innovation Union is proud to present the second in our Artificial Intelligence (AI) events series, exploring the use of AI in the HealthTech industry.

Experts and industry leaders will be sharing their personal journeys, their insights into the growing field, and offering their opinions on a range of topics in the HealthTech industry.

Expect to be fascinated, inspired, and educated on an innovative application of the disruptive technology that is AI.

Our free-for-all event will include a presentation by each of our guest speakers followed by a Q&A session which will be led by SIU hosts.

Please register via EventBrite to reserve a spot. All registered attendees will receive zoom joining details by email in advance of the webinar.

Update: Owing to unforeseen circumstances there has been a last minute change to the speakers. SIU is now very pleased to have Dr. Allison Gardner join our AI in HealthTech event

Kamar El-Kotob - Computer Vision Engineer at Third Eye Intelligence

Kamar El-Kotob is a Computer Vision Engineer at Third Eye Intelligence. She joined the team in December of last year. Kamar holds a MSc in Human and Biological Robotics from Imperial College London and a BEng in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the American University of Beirut. Her work at Third Eye Intelligence focuses on the generation of synthetic medical images utilizing state-of-the-art methods in Generative Modelling.

At Third Eye Intelligence, the aim is to utilise AI on routinely collected clinical data to predict risk of patient deterioration, mortality and length of stay, in view of guiding doctors in evidence-based decision making. Given the scarcity of the training data, the Computer Vision team is currently working on the development of a synthetic medical image generator network for automated image augmentation.
