The award supports the development of an AI-enabled system to improve echocardiography reporting, aiming to reduce delays and misdiagnoses in cardiac care through advanced visual-linguistic and language models.
Description
This project aims to enhance automatic echocardiography interpretation by developing and clinically validating an Artificial Intelligence-enabled Echocardiography Interpretation System (AEIS) based on a Visual-Linguistic Foundation Model (VLM)-Large Language Model (LLM) framework. The results will provide new insights into human-AI interaction, advancing next-generation Generalist Medical Artificial Intelligence systems that enhance echocardiography reporting, thereby improving patient care and promoting longer, healthier lives.
