# Health and Life Sciences AI Suite
The Health and Life Sciences AI Suite is a collection of AI applications, libraries, and
benchmarking tools to showcase the capabilities of Intel® Core™ Ultra processors within
simulated medical situations.
The suite provides **multi-modal AI pipelines** accelerated with the **OpenVINO™ toolkit**,
enabling high-performance deployment on **Intel® Core™ Ultra platforms** using CPU,
integrated GPU (iGPU), and NPU.
> [!Note]
> This software is for reference and evaluation purposes. The included applications are not
intended for direct use in clinical or diagnostic environments and are not validated as such.
This suite offers reference applications demonstrating how multiple AI workloads can run
simultaneously on a single platform and demonstrate how Intel hardware may be applied in the
areas of:
Multi-Modal Patient Monitoring, NICU Warmers, and Surgical Instruments (endoscopic video).
The apps provide simulated workflows that are consistent with those that would be required
within a real-life scenario, in a hospital or a general health care facility settings.
For full setup, usage, and contribution guide, see:
