What if surgeons could see a patient’s heart beating in 3D before surgery even begins?

Through collaboration with University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria, researchers are advancing “4D Heart” technology to help improve surgical planning and patient care.

By combining AI, virtual reality and medical imaging, the team is creating patient-specific digital heart models that allow surgeons to better visualize complex anatomy before entering the operating room.

Students at Illinois State University took on a real-world health care challenge through a partnership with OSF HealthCare – using data science to help predict patient no-shows for medical appointments.

The OSF-ISU Data Science Competition challenged students to apply machine learning and predictive analytics to improve health care efficiency and patient outcomes.

Congratulations to all the students who participated and showcased innovative solutions!
