University of Twente and Labmicta Join Forces to Improve Laboratory ProcessesThe University of Twente (UT) and medical microbiology laboratory Labmicta are joining forces to optimise laboratory processes with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotisation. In the coming years, they will collaborate on innovative solutions to enhance laboratory diagnostics, making them faster, more efficient, and more sustainable. This should lead to improved patient care, as healthcare providers can make diagnoses even faster and more accurately. Last week, the collaboration, which also stimulates the regional economy and innovative strength, was officially ratified during a signing moment. A PhD student will focus on research and implementation of AI and robotisation in laboratories, supervised by experts from both the UT and Labmicta.Read more
Team Twente got into the finals of Integrated Healthcare Timetabling CompetitionWe just learned that our team from the UT, consisting of Daniela Guericke, Asal Karimpour and Ieke Schrader from CHOIR/IEBIS as well as Rolf van der Hulst and Matthias Walter from the MOR group made it into the finals of the integrated healthcare timetabling competition 2024, a computational competition whose goal is to foster research about efficient algorithms for timetabling in healthcare. Our team is among the 5 finalists out of 32 submissions. The winning team is still to be determined since the competititon organizers are currently busy with carrying out a detailed comparison of the finalists' implementations.Read more
