Our Mission
To help inform our generation about the rapidly growing field and various opportunities in Healthcare and Artificial Intelligence, we want to help bridge the gap between these fields by providing a host of resources and information to educate and empower.
​
Especially in times like these, technological innovation can be a major aid to researchers, frontline workers, and even patients themselves. Each week we will explore different careers and innovations in the field, provide advice on how to gain experience, and have live Q&A sessions with professionals in the industry.
We believe the gift of awareness and education is one of the biggest we can give.

Why MedAI?
Even after years of advancements in the life sciences, so much of the world still lacks proper medical care and access to doctors or professionals. In various cases, people die from fatal conditions as they can not get help in time.
​
But in the future emerging technologies in fields such as AI and Robotics can help perform extensive medical procedures and assist to efficiently find cures for novel viruses such as COVID-19.
