YAU Working Group Urotechnology & Digital Health

A major area of interest is the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in urology, ranging from imaging analysis and diagnostic support (e.g., MRI interpretation and radiomics) to AI-assisted surgical planning, intraoperative guidance, and outcome prediction. The group is also actively involved in research on three-dimensional (3D) modeling, virtual planning, and augmented reality (AR) technologies to enhance surgical education, preoperative planning, and intraoperative navigation.

Current projects include multicenter collaborations aimed at evaluating AI tools, digital therapeutics, and data-driven predictive models in urological diseases. In addition, the group investigates the integration of digital platforms and data infrastructures to support research and innovation.

Historically, the group has also played a significant role in studying the impact of social media in urology, analyzing how digital platforms contribute to knowledge dissemination, scientific communication, and professional networkingwithin the global urological community.
