About CAI-X
CAI-X explores the use of AI to improve quality in healthcare.
CAI-X is the Danish Centre for Clinical Artificial Intelligence – established by the Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) and Odense University Hospital (OUH). It is a knowledge and competence centre that helps connect clinicians from the hospital with the engineers and researchers at the university, as well as private companies.
At CAI-X, you can get help with the scoping process and assistance when applying for funding. CAI-X can also help drive the projects and draw attention to results, publications, researchers etc.
Bridging technology and healthcare
CAI-X is a joint centre between OUH and the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Health Sciences at SDU. CAI-X covers all clinical specialities of OUH and cooperates with the additional faculties, private organisations (both Danish and international), research centres, councils and other hospitals to ensure a close connection between patients, health care staff, researchers and engineering experts.
Odense University Hospital and the University of Southern Denmark have a long history of strategic collaboration with respect to health technology and to bridging clinical challenges with technical expertise to provide new treatment solutions. OUH has the clinical setting and the data, and The Faculty of Engineering at SDU has the technical knowledge and experience with algorithms.
