Ehsan Hoque named a finalist for the 2025 Norwegian Letten Prize

He was nominated for his research on integrating artificial intelligence in health diagnosis.
Congratulations to Professor Ehsan Hoque, who received the Letten Prize Runners-Up Award “for his unique and applied research into the matters of bringing equity to the health condition of people across the globe.” The Letten Prize is a biannual award that aims to highlight young researchers who contribute to solving major global challenges in health, development, and the environment. Out of 158 applications, Ehsan is one of five young researchers shortlisted for the prize.
Ehsan was nominated for his research on integrating artificial intelligence in health diagnosis in ways that aim to better the lives of people who do not have access to medical practitioners, thus securing equity and equal access across the world. The Letten Prize Committee noted Hoque’s work building Parkinson’s Analysis with Remote Kinetic Tasks (PARK), a web-based screening tool that can be used to automatically analyze video recordings of participants doing simple motor tasks.
