Department of Medical Informatics and Artificial Intelligence

O Katedrze

The Department of Medical Informatics and Artificial Intelligence conducts research and provides education in areas related to developing advanced methods for acquiring, analyzing, and processing single- and multi-dimensional, as well as single- and multi-modal medical data. The department’s main activities include artificial intelligence and cloud computing in medicine; image navigation in cancer diagnosis and therapy; biometrics; teleradiology; modeling of biological structures and processes; telecare and telerehabilitation; interactive rehabilitation; diagnosis of speech defects; pain monitoring in physiotherapy; chronic skin wound monitoring; bioinformatics and computational biology; biomorphic materials; digital circuit design for medicine; tissue and genetic engineering; and artificial organs.

The ongoing work has produced algorithms and systems for computer-aided diagnosis and therapy, including support systems for diagnostic imaging and histopathology. The latest developments use artificial intelligence methods to process biological signals and support therapeutic processes. Department employees are involved in implementing numerous scientific projects funded by domestic and foreign sources in basic and applied research areas. The department collaborates with medical institutions, IT companies, and research institutions to carry out projects with high implementation potential.

About

We carry out research and development work of a cognitive and applied nature in the field of production of metallic biomaterials with modified structure and specific mechanical properties (modulus of elasticity, shape memory and superelasticity) with surface layers (passive-diamond) with good physical and chemical properties and biocompatibility, intended for reconstruction and elastic anastomosis of tissues, as well as construction of a new generation of stabilisers for bone anastomoses with surgical instruments.

We are also involved in research on a new generation of robotic rehabilitation-diagnostic equipment for guiding multi-planar active and passive movement of the lower limbs using neurophysiological methods with full use of rehabilitation control and supervision, involving design, manufacturing, technical and clinical studies.
