SRF - Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen reports on our "KIND" project, which we are implementing together with the Ostschweizer Kinderspital. In June, our collaborative team received the Health Forward Grant from the Universität St.Gallen (HSG) for this project investigating the influence of blood glucose levels on nerve vitality in children with type 1 diabetes.  In this interview, Dr. Philipp Broser and Marc Robin Gruener tell us more about the aim of the collaboration.

The last exciting guest lecture for this semester will take place in a week's time. We are very much looking forward to two extraordinary speakers:  Paulina Boadiwaa Mensah, MD und Dr George Jojo Boateng. The two will present their latest findings on the highly relevant topic of voice-based clinical AI assistants. In this hands-on talk, they will cover the basics of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and then build a RAG system in the healthcare context - a clinical decision support tool - using diabetes mellitus as an example. The event can be attended both online and live at ETH Zürich: WEV F 109-111  We look forward to meeting you there! 😀
