AI in healthcare

Razvan Ionasec (EMBA 2018) has been a computer buff since his childhood in Romania. His team at Siemens has now developed an artificial intelligence-based assistant to help radiologists evaluate medical scans. Razvan Ionasec had been working for several years on machine learning and computer vision technologies when he received a personal letter from a father seeking help for a son diagnosed with a complex congenital cardiovascular disease. "He had read about our research in the field of medical image analysis," says Razvan, a native of Romania. "It was too early in the development cycle at that time, but it inspired me to pursue my PhD so I could work on problems that have real impact on patients."
