IEEE BIBM 2024 WORKSHOP

SAI-Care 2024: Integrating Symbiotic AI in Biomedical Informatics

A Workshop on Advanced SAI-based applications in Healthcare

Lisbon, Portugal, 3 – 6 December 2024

All accepted papers will be included in the main conference proceedings which are published in the IEEE digital library, indexed in Google Scholar and Scopus.

Workshop Overview

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the biomedical field represents a groundbreaking frontier in both research and practical application of medicine. With the exponential growth of biomedical data, AI has emerged as a crucial tool for analyzing vast amounts of information, uncovering complex hidden patterns, and supporting critical clinical decisions. In the context, Symbiotic AI (SAI) explores the synergistic relationship between artificial intelligence systems and human users, aiming to enhance collaboration and coexistence between the two entities. This symbiotic relationship empowers healthcare professionals with advanced analytical capabilities, enabling them to make more accurate diagnoses, personalize treatment plans, and optimize patient care pathways.

Call for Paper

The workshop aims to explore the synergy between SAI and biomedical informatics, emphasizing the integration of AI technologies into reliable and Symbiotic Computer-Aided Diagnosis (SCAD) systems. Topics include advanced AI-based applications in healthcare, with a particular focus on explainable AI models to ensure transparency and reliability in medical decision-making processes. Participants will explore how SCAD systems symbiotically enhance diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, and patient care pathways within the biomedical informatics landscape.

Potential topics for the workshop could include but non are limited to:

  • AI-driven diagnostic tools in healthcare
  • Applications of AI models in personalized medicine
  • eXplainable in the use of AI in biomedical informatics
  • Implementing AI algorithms for medical imaging analysis
  • Natural language processing in healthcare informatics
  • Predictive analytics for disease prevention and early detection
  • AI-powered drug discovery and development
  • Challenges and opportunities in integrating AI into clinical workflows
  • Design of symbiotic AI systems for healthcare
  • The role of AI in improving healthcare delivery and patient outcomes
