Research is key for innovation and development of state-of-the-art solutions to improve healthcare and patient care. Most ground-breaking research is done in academic institutions, where new and often great AI-algorithms are developed. However, a strikingly small percentage of these algorithms actually make it to the clinic, meaning that a lot of potential to save and improve the lives of patients is not used.
I believe this gap between research and practical applications can partly be solved by a stronger collaboration between academia and industry, sometimes called public-private partnerships. With industry, we here focus on companies or vendors that develop AI-software solutions within the healthcare space.
