<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px;" class=""><span class="">Around the world, digital pathology is releasing pathologists from their (physical) labs. They can now practice anatomical pathology anywhere, independent of the physical location of
the biopsy, the glass slide and the patient. At the same time, sensitive multi-channel EEG measurements are giving an unprecedented view on brain activity to address disorders such as stroke, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury and Parkinson’s disease.<br class="">
</span><span class="">These spectacular advances in digital pathology and multi-channel EEG coincide with a rapid increase in the capabilities as well as the applications of artificial intelligence, creating entirely new fields: computational pathology and
computational neurology.<br class="">
</span><span class=""> <br class="">
</span><span class="">In this talk Dr. Bas </span></span><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Hulsken, CTO Philips Digital Pathology Solutions,</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px;" class=""><span class=""> will discuss Philips’ vision
on how artificial intelligence can help medical professionals and patients to increase the quality and efficiency of diagnoses such as tumor detection and seizure localization by sifting through these huge medical data sets consisting of gigapixel digital
pathology whole slide images, and up to 256 channel EEG measurements. He will also explore how the availability of these novel and huge digital datasets can lead to new insights for treatment and diagnosis, such as noninvasive stimulation to treat epilepsy,
and reliable localization and classification of cancer.</span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class=""><br class="">
