Speaker: Prof. Hichem Sahli

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are redefining medical decision support by turning complex health data into actionable insights. This presentation will showcase applications in medical image analysis and predictive modeling, including COVID-19 diagnosis, Alzheimer’s disease progression, hip therapy outcome prediction, influenza-like illness (ILI) forecasting, and digital twins for COPD management. We will explore how deep learning and longitudinal modeling enable earlier detection, personalized risk assessment, and optimized treatment strategies. Key challenges—such as data quality, interpretability, and clinical integration—will be discussed alongside strategies for ensuring trust and equity. By bridging predictive analytics with precision medicine, AI can accelerate the shift toward safer, more effective, and patient-centered healthcare.
