EXSEED Student Conference 2025 Rozabella Tenga AI In Healthcare Track
I really enjoyed joining the AI in Healthcare sessions at the EXSEED Student Conference 2025. I got to learn something new about AI and how it is used in healthcare . . . I was able to use AI to create a game for people who have ALS . . . It is a great experience, and I recommend it to anyone who’s passionate about helping people.
