OVERVIEW

MFM4Health brings together researchers at the frontier of multimodal foundation models and healthcare. The workshop focuses on methods integrating imaging, video, clinical text, and wearables to tackle high-impact clinical challenges, from surgical video understanding and procedural assessment to risk prediction, patient monitoring, and social care for ageing populations. By convening a community spanning computer vision, machine learning, clinical science, and public health, MFM4Health aims to accelerate principled, equitable, and clinically impactful translation of foundation models into practice, aligning BMVC with life-critical applications affecting millions of patients worldwide.
