AIDA Organization

Overview

AIDA is a community of a large number of partners around Sweden, organizations from academia, healthcare and industry interested in AI for diagnostic imaging. See the map to the right for an overview. A good summary is also given by the listing of project and fellowship efforts, accessible in the menu to the right.

The arena is built and administered by the AIDA core partners: Center for Medical Image Science and Visualization (CMIV) at Linköping University, Sectra AB, and Region Östergötland.

One part of the AIDA arena is the AIDA Data Hub (see the menu for more information), which formally is a part of SciLifeLab. The interplay between Medtech4Health and SciLifeLab is illustrated below.

The arena is lead and developed by a management group:

• Arena Director Claes Lundström (LiU, Sectra)
• Project Manager Caroline Bivik Stadler (LiU)
• Data Director Joel Hedlund (LiU)
• Communications Officer Maria Kvist (LiU)
