Shark Tank finalist pitches and voting will take place on Day One. Four finalists will pitch their solution and the winner will be chosen by the audience and a judging panel of clinicians. The winner will be announced at the end of Day Two.
“AIMed has been yearning to be in Australia, as some of the world’s best minds in informatics and intelligence in biomedicine are in that region,” said Dr Anthony Chang.
“In order to be excellent at AI in medicine and health care, we need to learn about each country’s health system, AI landscape, and how they solve problems using AI. We very much look forward to this exciting opportunity to learn from each other.”
