In order to further enhance the level of cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment, especially the professional technical capabilities of primary-level medical institutions, promote the improvement of professional technical personnel's theoretical and practical abilities and levels, and contribute to the development of the discipline, the "Sichuan Bioinformatics Society Artificial Intelligence - Cardiovascular Department Academic Conference," hosted by the Sichuan Bioinformatics Society and co-hosted by the Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University, was successfully held in Chengdu from September 23 to 24, 2023!

    Professor He Chuan, the Director of the Artificial Intelligence - Cardiovascular Department of the Sichuan Bioinformatics Society, presided over the opening of the conference. First, Professor Shi Zheng, Deputy Secretary-General of the Sichuan Bioinformatics Society and Vice President of the Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University, and Deputy Secretary-General Zhou Jueqiao of the Sichuan Bioinformatics Society, presented appointment letters to Professor Yan Chunbo, the Honorary Director of the first Artificial Intelligence - Cardiovascular Department, Professor He Chuan, the Director, and the Deputy Directors and representatives of the Standing Committee members of the department.

    Deputy Secretary-General Zhou Jueqiao delivered a speech, emphasizing the historical significance of the establishment of the Artificial Intelligence - Cardiovascular Department of the Society. It marks the continuous growth and development of the Society in the field of medical interdisciplinary studies, providing a new platform and opportunities for cooperation and research in the fields of cardiovascular medicine and artificial intelligence. She believes that the establishment of this department will bring more opportunities and challenges to the medical community and the scientific research field.

    Honorary Director Professor Yan Chunbo pointed out that the application of artificial intelligence in the current medical field is an irresistible trend, especially in the field of cardiovascular medicine, where we have seen exciting progress. The establishment of this department will further promote cooperation and innovation in this field. We look forward to exploring the application of cutting-edge technology with colleagues to provide better medical services for patients.

    Professor Shi Zheng said in his speech that this academic conference has gathered outstanding experts from different fields, providing us with a unique opportunity to promote the exchange and cooperation between cardiovascular medicine and artificial intelligence. In this digital era, the role of artificial intelligence in medicine is immeasurable. He looks forward to exploring together how to apply it to clinical practice to bring better treatment effects for patients.

    Subsequently, the two-day academic report and exchange session of the conference began, led by Professors He Chuan and Yan Chunbo from the Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University. Professor Qian Hao, a distinguished young scholar from the School of Medicine at the University of Electronic Science Technology, Dr. Hu Mengjiao from Tencent Technology, a member of the department, and Senior Engineer Xu Bo, a leader in artificial intelligence in the province from Didanuo Technology, and other experts in related fields, brought more than 30 academic reports on basic medicine, medical visualization, and the application of artificial intelligence in medicine. Each expert, combining the characteristics of their respective professional fields, made in-depth sharing around the theme of "Artificial Intelligence - Cardiovascular Medicine." At the conference site, different professors served as hosts, discussing and exchanging ideas on the different teaching content of the experts, with continuous sparks of thought collision, making this academic feast even more exciting. Participants expressed that they have benefited a lot.

    Finally, Professor He Chuan made a concluding speech, affirming the academic conference. He pointed out that in this conference, we have gathered elites from different fields, shared cutting-edge scientific research results, and looked forward to the future of the medical field. We must continue to deepen cooperation and promote the cross-disciplinary integration of artificial intelligence and cardiovascular medicine to make a greater contribution to patients and the advancement of medical research.
