Improving AI in Healthcare

Artificial intelligence is increasingly used in areas such as healthcare, robotics, education, and simulation, creating a growing need for systems that are not only powerful, but also safe, transparent, and easy to use.

The SDU Metaverse Lab has received a Novo Nordisk Foundation Start Package Grant, awarded on August 25, 2025, to support a new research programme around these challenges. The four-year project will investigate new AI methods that can support real-world applications, including intelligent robotic systems, healthcare technologies, and simulation-based training. A particular focus lies on developing AI that can make reliable decisions, provide interpretable results, and operate effectively in complex environments.

The project will also strengthen collaboration between the SDU Metaverse Lab, robotics, and health sciences, helping translate advances in artificial intelligence into practical tools with benefits for society.

The grant has been awarded to Associate Professor Alexander Dockhorn
