Progress for the Future Home of the University of Maryland Institute for Health Computing
University of Maryland, Baltimore Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS, joined officials from Montgomery County Government, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), and state and federal leaders on July 29, 2024, celebrating a memorandum of understanding and federal funding for developing a building and space that will not only house the University of Maryland Institute for Health Computing, but a new north entrance for the North Bethesda Metro stop.The University of Maryland Institute for Health Computing opened in 2024 in temporary office and lab space in North Bethesda near its future permanent home. The Institute is a strategic initiative that aims to improve well-being, quality of life, diminish disease, and enhance health outcomes for all citizens of Maryland and beyond.The UM-IHC is a partnership between the University of Maryland, Baltimore and University of Maryland, College Park, as well as the University of Maryland Medical System under the University of Maryland Strategic Partnership: MPowering the State.Learn more about the UM-IHC: https://mpower.maryland.edu/initiatives/13449/

- 0:51How AI in Dentistry Could Reduce Diagnostic Errors and Save LivesFatigue is one of the most dangerous risks in medical diagnostics. At the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, Ahmed Sultan, BDS, PhD, is using artificial intelligence to support pathologists and radiologists in detecting oral cancers earlier and more accurately. This NIH-funded research could revolutionize dental care — minimizing human error and improving patient outcomes. #OralCancer #ArtificialIntelligence #NIHResearch #DentalInnovation #HealthcareAI #Radiology #BreakthroughsCantWait #Science #DentalSchool Learn more: https://vist.ly/3n5j835
- 4:51Using AI to Prevent Medical Errors | Breakthroughs Can’t WaitWhat if your dentist had a second set of eyes — powered by AI — to help spot cancer earlier and improve patient outcomes?That’s the driving question behind the work of Ahmed Sultan, BDS, PhD, a pioneer in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in oral health care. Sultan directs the Division of Artificial Intelligence Research at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, the first such division at a dental school in the United States. His work is advancing a new era of diagnostics, where AI tools assist clinicians in detecting disease earlier, improving outcomes, and closing care gaps.“We’re seeing more administrative burden and clinician fatigue, which increases the risk of missing things,” Sultan explained. “AI can triage cases and flag abnormalities early, helping dentists and pathologists prioritize serious conditions before they’re overlooked.”🔗 Learn more: https://www.umaryland.edu/breakthroughs#NIHResearch #HealthcareInnovation #DiagnosticAccuracy #HospitalSafety #HealthTech #BreakthroughsCantWaitUMB #UMD #UMB #universityofmaryland #Dentistry #radiology #Science #artificialintelligence #aiinhealthcare
- 0:44Using AI to Catch Oral Cancer Early | Breakthroughs Can’t WaitWhat if artificial intelligence could help spot oral cancer earlier — before symptoms even appear?At the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, Ahmed Sultan is leading NIH-funded research to develop AI tools that detect early-stage oral cancer, especially in communities with limited access to care. This work combines innovation and equity to save lives through faster, more accurate diagnosis.🔗 Learn more: https://vist.ly/3n5gjp9#OralCancer #EarlyDetection #AIHealthTech #AhmedSultan #NIHResearch #HealthcareEquity #MedicalInnovation #BreakthroughsCantWait #CancerScreening #Science #Dentistry
