Letter from the EDITORS
We hope you are all enjoying your summer and getting some much-needed rest as we are happy to release our Summer 2023 issue of IMS Magazine! This issue, we have decided to focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and digital health, a hot-button topic that has taken the world by storm, which was reflected in the keen interest we had from journalists. The IMS community is always on the cutting edge of research and medicine, and we are pleased to highlight some of the great work that is underway in this quickly growing field.
In this issue, we highlight the work of Drs. Alexander Bilbily, Farzad Khalvati, Abigail Ortiz, and Robert Wu who doing cutting edge research in AI and digital health to aid in diagnostic testing and predicting illness. We also have thought-provoking Viewpoint articles on AI and mental health, the use of ChatGPT, how AI is helping clinical judgement, and the implementation of AI in the global south. This issue we covered three IMS events including the annual IMS Scientific Day, the Regenerative Medicine Symposium, and the IMSSA 3-Minute Thesis competition. Check them out to learn more about the wonderful events that happen at IMS! Lastly, we have our Diversity in Science article talking about intersectionality in biomedical research, another poignant topic that all scientists should be knowledgeable about.
