Bernhard Kainz

I am a Professor at Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg, heading the IDEA Lab, and in the Department of Computing at Imperial College London, where I lead the human-in-the-loop computing group and co-lead BioMedIA.

Our research advances intelligent algorithms for multi-modal healthcare: generative and discriminative machine learning for diagnostic decision-making, real-time procedural guidance, and normative learning for safe AI at the front lines of patient care.

Current Research Questions

Can we democratize rare healthcare expertise through Machine Learning, providing real-time guidance and second-reader expertise in retrospective analysis?
Can we develop normative learning from large populations, integrating imaging, patient records, and -omics, to create data analysis that mimics human decision making?
Can we provide human interpretability and effective human-machine teamwork to support the right for explanation in healthcare AI?
