Statement of objectives
Every year there are more than fifteen million worldwide preterm births and the number of cases is still growing. In almost all high-income countries, complications of preterm birth (such as brain and lung complications) are the largest direct cause of neonatal death. The clinical literature has also reported a markedly increased prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in preterm populations. Preterm infants spend the first months of their lives in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), where they are constantly monitored through sensors and imaging systems. Despite the large number and variety of data collected, the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field has still to be fully unlocked.
Intended audience
The goal of this workshop is to group expert AI researchers in the field of preterm infants monitoring to discuss the most recent research work and highlight current challenges and needs. As a result of the workshop, a network of universities, hospitals and stakeholders will be established to draw a roadmap for future AI applications in the field of image analysis for preterm infants monitoring.
