\nSimulation and MONAI: The futures of MedTech<\/p>\n
\nFrom the hospital-scale to the molecular-scale, simulations will drive the future medtech AI.\u00a0 This talk will provide a high-level overview of how AI will enhance medtech simulations and how physical and physiological simulations will enhance medtech AI.\u00a0 The enabling platforms and future products of these simulations will be explored.\u00a0 \u00a0In particular, the talk will describe the evolving role of the open-source MONAI platform, the capabilities of Omniverse for simulation, and the optimizations offered by the open-source HoloscanSDK for medical AI.\u00a0 Opportunities for algorithm researchers, data scientists, medical professionals, and entrepreneurs to build upon and contribute back to these platforms will be detailed.<\/p>\n
\nDr. Stephen Aylward is the Global Developer Relations Manager for Medical Technologies at NVIDIA. With 25+ years in NIH, DARPA, and DoD-funded medical imaging research and open-source platform development (ITK, VTK, 3D Slicer, and MONAI), he is now combining open-source software with accelerated computing to explore and support next gen, AI-enhanced, clinical products. His interests range from intelligent ultrasound systems to autonomous surgical robots. He is also a MICCAI Fellow, an adjunct professor in Computer Science at UNC, and chair of the MONAI Advisory Board. Previously, he was Senior Director of Strategic Initiatives at Kitware, and before founding Kitware\u2019s office in North Carolina, he was a tenured professor in Radiology at UNC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
