Open Medical Inference (OMI)

The Open Medical Inference (OMI) platform aims to enable the discovery and use of remote AI services. OMI will develop open medical inference protocols and data formats for the semantically interoperable peer-to-peer exchange of multimodal healthcare data and remote AI inference. To this end, a repository of German-wide services will be established with an initial selection of multimodal AI models in order to enable researchers, through Medical Data Integration Centers of German University Hospitals, to access and run the developed AI models remotely.
