The session

AI and large language models are evolving into full-stack systems, and health is one of the areas where that matters most. Multimodal medical models can now combine pathology, imaging and genomics to support diagnosis.

Prof. Hongxia Yang, who built foundation model teams at Alibaba and ByteDance, shared real-world results from AI in pathology and MRI analysis, how clinicians and AI can work together, and her vision for AI-native health systems that can be deployed anywhere using local data.
