Retired Physicians Symposium

AI in Medicine with Dr. Mike Might

The purpose of a symposium is to discuss and exchange knowledge, research findings, and discuss insights on a particular topic or theme. Join us for a new topic every month!

Artificial intelligence in medicine transforms healthcare through machine learning and advanced data analytics. It empowers clinicians with enhanced diagnostics, accelerated drug discovery, and automated administrative workflows. While it significantly boosts efficiency and personalized care, human oversight remains essential to ensure patient safety and data privacy.

His research focuses on precision prevention, diagnosis and therapeutics across rare disease, cancer and common/chronic conditions.
