Medical applications play a pivotal role in healthcare, bridging the gap between in-depth academic research and everyday clinical practice. Their purpose is dual-faceted: they aim to enhance health at an individual level while also striving to foster societal wellbeing. In the realm of medical applications, the role of electronic design automation (EDA) is crucial. EDA enables high accuracy in the development of algorithms, software, and hardware, ensuring that they not only function effectively but also meet vital safety requirements. Despite significant progress, there's a notable lack of comprehensive discussions on the co-design of algorithms and hardware in the medical field. This project will fund a workshop that assembles healthcare practitioners, academic researchers, industry experts, and government officials. The focus will be a collaborative dialogue on the needs, challenges, and solutions in the realm of algorithm/hardware co-design for medical applications. Additionally, the workshop aims to sketch out a roadmap for future initiatives. The workshop will be attended by a diverse group of participants, including individuals from underrepresented communities and women. A summary report of the workshop will be prepared and made publicly accessible to ensure widespread dissemination of the information discussed.
