Medical Informatics
and Artificial Intelligence
The Department of Medical Informatics and Artificial Intelligence conducts research and education in areas related to the development of advanced methods of acquisition, analysis and processing of single – and multi-dimensional, as well as single- and multi-modal medical data.
The main areas of activity of the Department focus on: artificial intelligence and cloud computing in medicine, image navigation in oncological diagnosis and therapy, biometrics, teleradiology, modelling of biological structures and processes, telecare and telerehabilitation, interactive rehabilitation, speech defect diagnostics, pain monitoring in physiotherapy, monitoring of chronic skin wounds, bioinformatics and computational biology, biomorphic materials, design of digital systems for medicine, tissue and genetic engineering, and artificial organs.
As part of the work carried out, a number of algorithms and computer-assisted diagnosis and therapy systems have been developed, including systems for assisting in diagnostic imaging and histopathology.
The latest solutions use artificial intelligence methods in biological signal processing and therapeutic process support. The Department’s staff are involved in numerous scientific projects financed from domestic and foreign funds in the field of basic and applied research. The Department cooperates with medical facilities, IT companies and research institutions to implement projects with high implementation and practical potential.
We also organise workshops, training courses and conferences that promote the exchange of knowledge between specialists in the fields of medicine and computer science.
By combining medical knowledge and advanced technologies, the Department of Medical Informatics and Artificial Intelligence strives to meet contemporary challenges in healthcare, while contributing to the development of innovative solutions that improve patients’ quality of life.
