Researchers from different fields such as medicine, AI, IT and software engineering all came together for five eventful workshop days. Researchers, students and experts from the Hasso Plattner Institute at Mount Sinai (HPI·MS), Data4Life, Hasso Plattner Foundation and Hasso Plattner Institute spoke on our campus about their common goal: to conduct digital healthcare research in a real healthcare system for patients. Terabytes of data are available for them.
A part of this workshop is also the third AIR·MS hackathon. For 24 hours non-stop, researchers and students used the AIR·MS research platform to beat difficult challenges in the digital health field and presented their results to a jury.
The Partnership
In 2019 the HPI and Mount Sinai Health System came together to create a bridge between digital technologies and healthcare systems. This collaboration led to the founding of the Hasso Plattner Institute at Mount Sinai (HPI·MS), where groundbreaking research creates the future of digital health care systems.
Especially for young researchers, regardless of their medical or technical background, this partnership o.ers a special opportunity to learn from experts in the field and to deepen their understanding through research stays. Whether it’s wearables, artificial intelligence, machine learning or large language models: humans and their health are the central focus. Through this collaboration innovative technologies meet real medical practice.
“Our work is especially worthwhile, when it improves the health and well-being of humans, be it on an individual basis or on the level of the general population. This is what truly pushed our discussions this week” says Dr. Esther-Marria Antão, Partnership Lead at the Digital Health Cluster.
