Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming medicine, but most AI tools introduced in research settings never make it to the clinic. A new article published in Nature Computational Science by researchers at Purdue University and international partners introduces a structured approach to improve the translation of AI into clinical practice.

The boundaries between science and art are often closer than they appear. The Art in Research program at Purdue’s Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering celebrates this intersection—where creativity, innovation and discovery meet visual expression.

Bradley Duerstock, professor of practice in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering and the Edwardson School of Industrial Engineering, and Brandon Pitts, Elliott Sigal Rising Star associate professor of industrial engineering, who will serve as co-principal investigator, will focus on integrating an assistive robotic platform that combines innovative hardware and software technologies into transportation systems, enabling people with disabilities to participate more fully in activities of daily living.
