Lenka Pacnerová is a versatile researcher with advanced quantitative competencies in medical planning and capacity management for healthcare establishments. During the PhD trajectory with DIAG, her mission is to engage with interdisciplinary teams on the AI adoption and implementation challenge. On a multicenter research project - Radboudumc in partnership with the Meander Medical Centre in Amersfoort, the Isala hospital in Zwolle and the commercial partner Annalise.ai, Lenka will evaluate the added value of AI products in radiological clinical practice (chest X-ray and CT brain).
