CIT-RITK Image Processing research team Visit at University of New York Tirana

Dr. Debabrata Samanta visited the University of New York in Tirana, Albania, to present his research on the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare. This insightful session not only highlighted cutting-edge advancements but also shed light on the active involvement of students in leveraging AI to tackle real-world challenges within the healthcare sector. Building on this momentum, Dr. Samanta is set to return as an Invited Speaker at the Department of Computer Science, University of New York Tirana. His talk, titled “Real-Time Projection through Machine Learning-Based Virtual Reality in the Healthcare Industry,” will delve into the integration of machine learning (ML) and virtual reality (VR) technologies to revolutionize real-time healthcare solutions. This pioneering approach aims to address critical areas such as surgical simulations, patient monitoring, and therapeutic interventions, demonstrating how technology can elevate healthcare standards to unprecedented levels.

As part of the presentation, students Marigona Kastrati and Drit Dula from RIT Kosovo showcased their impactful research titled “Enhancing Hospital Admissions with Artificial Intelligence.” Their work focused on addressing the critical issues patients encounter during hospital admissions, such as lengthy procedures, miscommunication, and delays. By employing AI-driven solutions, they demonstrated how patient experiences can be vastly improved through streamlined processes, reduced wait times, and enhanced operational efficiency—ultimately saving lives. Their work exemplified the power of AI in creating real-world solutions with immediate and measurable impacts.

The event on February 27th emphasized the importance of innovation and collaboration in healthcare, advocating for interdisciplinary efforts to maximize AI’s potential in transforming patient care. By fostering partnerships between academia, industry, and healthcare providers, the session underlined the need to align cutting-edge research with practical applications, ensuring that innovations translate into tangible benefits for patients and practitioners alike.

Dr. Samanta’s work continues to inspire the next generation of innovators and emphasizes how technologies like AI, ML, and VR can redefine the future of healthcare, making it more accessible, efficient, and patient-focused.
