What is AI*IM?

AI*IM (Artificial Intelligence for Inclusive Medicine) is a project at the university.
Many researchers are working together. It is about AI in the healthcare sector.

It consists of 7 specialised groups. These are as follows:

Medicine, Technology, Health, Education, Psychology and Social Research.

This means that all areas have the same goal.

A special research location.
where new technology is to be developed.

With AI*IM, the question is how technology can help.

The goal is:
People with learning difficulties should be able to live normally.
People with learning difficulties should be treated equally.
They should be able to determine their own lives.
And they should be able to participate everywhere.

They also work together with people with learning difficulties.
These people say what they need.

This creates a special research place.
New technology is developed there to help with people's health.
And all people are included.

AI*IM Consent

The AI*IM working group has several working groups.

One of these is the AI*IM Consent working group.

Consent is English and means agreement.

The AI*IM Consent working group deals with the question:

  • How can everyone live healthy and normal?
  • How can technology help?
  • What is important and right?
  • This is also called ethics.

Many people are working together.
For example

  • Specialists from the fields of medicine, ethics and technology
  • People with learning difficulties

They think together.

  • What rules do we need for good technology?
  • What do those affected think about this technology?

AI*IM Consent works together with the VR*IM project.
VR*IM is about virtual reality.

In other words, technology that allows you to see or experience things.

Things that are not really there.

The best-known example of virtual reality is VR glasses.

The technology is designed to help patients understand things better.

And the technology should help them to make better decisions.

The AI*IM Consent working group is also a contact point for questions about ethics.
And a place for joint reflection.
