30 September 2025
Archimedes Research Unit of the Athena Research Center, Greece, is featured in a recent article in Dnews. This article is about an Archimedes flagship project in cardiology and AI that aims to use "two-dimensional echocardiographic data to develop deep learning tools and improve the treatment of heart problems."
This project will be developed in collaboration with the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center and the Archimedes Research Unit of the Athena Research Center, Greece. The Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center will contribute cardiac data and medical expertise, while the Archimedes Research Unit will set up a team of researchers who will develop advanced techniques and AI models that will address specific cardiological issues.
