A team from the Institute for Digital Health & Innovation is one of 13 North American university teams named as finalists in the 2021 OpenCV AI Competition, the world’s largest spatial AI (artificial intelligence) competition. The IDHI team, self-dubbed the “Little Rock-ies,” pitched an idea to use AI cameras to perform airway risk assessments on patients. Their win garnered the team 10 OAK-D cameras, which can be used to detect and identify real-world objects. Congratulations – and good luck on the next phase – to the team: IDHI Director Dr. Joseph Sanford, Associate Director Dr. Kevin Sexton, Adria Abella Villafranca, Michael Cruz, Catherine Shoults, Pablo Trevino and Dr. Lori Wong.
