Artificial Intelligence in Health Informatics

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Health Informatics Research cluster advances healthcare by integrating AI and data science to improve patient care, address health inequalities and optimise healthcare delivery. Our interdisciplinary team leverages machine learning, natural language processing and predictive analytics to enhance decision-making, drive AI-based training for healthcare professionals, enable precision diagnostics in medical imaging and support effective public health communication. Through these efforts, we tackle critical challenges and promote informed, equitable healthcare.
