Adding AI tools to healthcare research: Working with the Platform for Research, Data, Intelligence and Health (PREDIS)

Thursday, February 27, from 12:15 to 1 p.m., via Zoom *.

The result of close collaboration between the NUTRISS, Cirris, CERVO, VITAM, CRUJeF and IUCPQ-ULaval research centers, the PREDIS platform offers a tailor-made support service for the efficient and ethical application of artificial intelligence.
of artificial intelligence to healthcare research.

The aim of this session is to present the support services (development of tools adapted to research projects, help in writing grant applications incorporating AI), technical advice (answers to specific questions, support in supervising students using AI in their projects) and training offered by PREDIS. During the session, projects that have been developed with PREDIS partner research teams will be presented, so that participants can fully understand how the tools developed can concretely support researchers in data processing and analysis.
