The ninth lecture of the series, "AI Enabled Smart Healthcare " was given by Professor Lei Zhen from Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR), Hong Kong Institute of Science & Innovation at University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. In the speech, he believed that the development of artificial intelligence technology has brought tremendous technological revolution and development space to all walks of life. At present, high-quality medical resources in society are unevenly distributed, supply and demand are unbalanced, and personalized precision medicine is in urgent need. Intelligent diagnosis and treatment technology has become an important research direction in the field of life and health. The combination of AI and the medical field is bound to bring new breakthroughs to smart healthcare. Professor Lei Zhen also introduced the recent progress from his team in three parts, the first is spatial intelligence, realizing the perception of the smart operating room scene, and improving the understanding and monitoring of people, equipment and the environment; the second is the perception and understanding of surgical endoscopes, improving the ability of surgical information processing and decision support; finally, he introduced the progress in intelligent medical diagnosis and analysis, and automatically analyzes and interprets medical images through AI algorithms to provide more accurate, fast and convenient medical imaging diagnosis services.
