Cafe Scientifique: Reinventing Cardiac Care - An AI-Empowered Paradigm, 25 April | Event in Vancouver | AllEvents.in About the event Cafe Scientifique: Reinventing Cardiac Care - An AI-Empowered Paradigm
Join us for an engaging conversation about how AI and your data can transform heart failure care, and potentially our healthcare system.

About this Event

<h4>This is a hybrid event happening in-person at the Paetzold Health Education Centre at VGH and online on Zoom. </h4>



Join us for an engaging conversation about how AI and your data can transform heart failure care and our healthcare system.


Data is increasingly shaping our healthcare landscape. From electronic health records to wearable devices, huge amounts of data are generated every hour, offering insights into individual and community health trends, treatment efficacy, and resource allocation. Analyzing these data can allow healthcare providers to personalize treatments, predict health outcomes, and streamline operations for better patient care. However, realizing this potential will require access to large amounts of personal health information and advanced computational capabilities.

With our clinical and research partners, we are developing artificial intelligence algorithms that can analyze patient heart ultrasounds, or echocardiograms, and detect the presence of heart diseases in real time. The goal of this AI-guided tool is to support primary care so that patients have faster access to the echocardiograms they need to receive tailored healthcare in their own communities.

We extend our warm invitation to all families, healthcare providers, and knowledge keepers from BC’s communities to join us at our public engagement event and share your perspectives, preferences, concerns, and questions related to the development and deployment of AI tools for healthcare. These conversations will guide the practical applications of AI research and how best to implement these advances for the benefit of you, your family, and your community alike.




What is the purpose of this event?


  • Demonstrate a novel AI-guided echocardiography tool developed by front line clinicians in partnership with UBC engineering and health authority partners.
  • Educate the public about the potential of AI in improving cardiac imaging access, how this could impact rural areas and potentially change heart failure management.
  •  Encourage collaboration and knowledge exchange between stakeholders from diverse backgrounds, including healthcare professionals, policymakers, and community members.
  •  Gather stakeholder perspectives on the development and use of AI tools in healthcare.
  •  Facilitate discussions on the ethical and privacy implications of utilizing health data for AI development in healthcare.



What happens next?


  • A report will be produced to summarize participant feedback and contributions and will guide the development of future stakeholder engagement, which may include deliberative democracy workshops, focus groups, and surveys.
  • A video of event highlights and key messages will be produced to promote our findings to key health sector stakeholders including research and health system funders.
