Host Melanie Morón with Tyler Loftus, Trauma Surgeon with the UF Department of Surgery

In this week’s Tech Tuesday for WCJB TV20, UF Innovate’s Melanie Morón interviews Tyler Loftus, trauma surgeon in the UF Department of Surgery, who is researching AI-powered technology to improve patient care and increase efficiency in ICU settings. Recipient of an Invention of the Year award at #StandingInnOvation 2023, Loftus’ hope is that the technology will help doctors make better decisions for patients and alleviate pressure on vital hospital resources.

UF’s strides in the field of artificial intelligence, including a $70 million partnership with the Silicon Valley-based technology company NVIDIA, are leading to research and industry innovations across all disciplines.

At the College of Medicine, experts say a focus on AI will result in better patient care, advancements in clinical research and new techniques to train the next generation of clinicians and medical scientists.

One way this has already happened is through the development of SynGatorTron™, an AI natural language processing model that generates synthetic patient data untraceable to real patients, which can be used to train the next generation of medical AI systems to understand conversational language and medical terminology.
