HIDA Lecture: Clinical Large Language Models in Healthcare – Applications, Challenges, and Opportunities

Date

June 12, 2025, 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Abstract

This presentation explores the development and application of Norwegian Clinical Large Language Models (LLMs) in healthcare. It highlights how LLMs such as NorDeClin-BERT and NorBERT are transforming tasks like clinical coding, adverse drug event detection, and deidentification of clinical texts. Key challenges include limited annotated data, privacy concerns, and algorithmic bias. Emerging trends focus on multimodal AI, federated learning, and synthetic data generation. The ongoing development of specialized Norwegian models and collaborative, ethical approaches aim to drive innovation and improve healthcare delivery while ensuring patient safety and data privacy.
