What we work on
The Acıbadem Data Analytics Laboratory aims to use data science methods to improve the diagnostic and prognostic capacities of medical technologies and provides innovative data analytics solutions to improve clinical decision-making. It works through bioinformatics, biomechanics, cognitive neuroscience, artificial-intelligence-based approaches, optimisation of health processes and smart data-entry applications.
The laboratory was established in 2019 by Dr. Buğrahan Bayram, Dr. Sinem Burcu Erdoğan and Dr. Ata Akın. Early work used deep learning to classify melanomas; since then the team has taken on research questions in radiology, neuropsychiatry, neurorehabilitation, bioinformatics and sports medicine. Active topics are AI in radiology, rapid reporting via speech-to-text, AI for brain–machine interfaces, AI in neuropsychiatry and deep learning for clinical decision support.
While scientific projects come first, the laboratory also provides experimental and clinical measurement, validation, verification and prototyping services that companies in the health sector may need.
