Embodied Clinical Intelligence Colloquium (ECLIC)

AI systems are currently siloed into highly-specific clinical tasks and are not grounded in the complexities of clinical care. Embodied Clinical Intelligence establishes a new paradigm in which AI systems are designed to be situated in clinical environments, interact with clinicians, and function as intelligent partners that assist in real-time clinical workflows and decision-making.

We are a community of researchers at the intersection of AI and medicine that are unequivocally technical yet uncompromisingly clinical. In our mission of pushing the frontiers of research in embodied clinical intelligence, we host workshops, fireside chats, and guest lectures, to build the community advancing the next generation of embodied AI systems in medicine.
