As 2021 comes to a close, we have been reflecting on the work we have done to support women and underrepresented groups in their pursuit of entrepreneurship here at Yale. While we are proud of the progress made thus far, we are determined to do more! Thank you all for your contributions, and for taking this journey with us.
BEST WISHES THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Sprint Challenge Brief:
AI Tools To Enhance Medical Diagnostics
|
|
The healthcare industry increasingly uses deep learning methods for myriad tasks including patient engagement and adherence, administrative activities, and diagnosis and treatment. Offering many advantages over traditional clinical decision-making techniques, users can tune and test machine learning algorithms to provide more accurate, targeted care and diagnostics. For example, radiologists use image recognition for improved detection of a small set of illnesses, and the potential for AI to go beyond this application is vast.
This sprint will identify technologies that offer innovation in the application of AI to medical diagnostics to provide more accurate diagnosis that could lead to improved treatments and outcomes. We welcome submissions and novel concepts from individuals and organizations at all technology readiness levels (TRLs), including the academia, research, commercial and government sectors.

I have an invention! I want to tell everyone, but now what? When and how do I disclose to Yale OCR, why can’t I tell the world, and when do my collaborators become co-inventors?
During this IP Insights seminar, let's discuss disclosures as a whole, including what constitutes a public disclosure and an invention disclosure. We will also be talking about inventorship and who is (or is not!) an inventor and why. Join Kathryn and Diane to hear more and to ask questions directly.
