Earlier this past month, Duke AI Health and Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering hosted a three-day gathering that brought together clinical insight, engineering expertise, and industry perspectives on health AI. The overall goal of The Duke Summit on AI Health for Innovation, which took place on October 9-11 at the J.B. Duke Hotel on Duke University campus, was to “foster a community of practice around health-oriented AI development that bridges the medical and engineering fields.” Featuring keynote addresses from Jerome P. Lynch, PhD, Vinik Dean of Duke’s Pratt School of Engineering, and Duke Health Chief Quality Officer Richard Shannon, MD, the summit also featured numerous panel discussions, a “fireside chat” hosted by Duke AI Health Director Michael Pencina, PhD, and interactive sessions centered on “design thinking” principles.
