However, barriers such as limited technical capacity, infrastructure, and governance constrain their effective application at BCCH(R). The Artificial Intelligence and Data Science Unit (ADSU), an initiative stemming from Integrated Research Informatics Services (IRIS), addresses this gap by offering specialized expertise and advanced tools. ADSU aims to build institutional capacity for the ethical, evidence-based translation of AI innovations into clinical practice, fostering improved outcomes and lasting impact across research and health care environments.<\/p><figure  class=\"fndry-image fndry-mr--auto fndry-ml--auto\" style=\"--imageWidth:50%\" aria-labelledby=\"img-2532\">\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"794\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bcchr.ca\/adsu\/files\/2026\/04\/BCCHR-Bedside-child-and-doctor-Edge-AI.jpg\" class=\"fndry-image__img\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" style=\"--borderRadius:0px;--objectFit:cover;--imagePosX:50%;--imagePosY:50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bcchr.ca\/adsu\/files\/2026\/04\/BCCHR-Bedside-child-and-doctor-Edge-AI.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.bcchr.ca\/adsu\/files\/2026\/04\/BCCHR-Bedside-child-and-doctor-Edge-AI-300x265.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bcchr.ca\/adsu\/files\/2026\/04\/BCCHR-Bedside-child-and-doctor-Edge-AI-768x678.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\t\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg fndry-container--full fndry-pt--3 fndry-pb--2 fndry-pr--md-3 fndry-pl--md-3 fndry-pb--md-4 fndry-pt--md-2 fndry-pr--sm-2 fndry-pl--sm-2\" style=\"--fndry-bg:var(--fndry-color-light)\">\n\t<div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg fndry-pr--md-1 fndry-pl--md-1\">\n\t<div class=\"fndry-row mobile-col-rev fndry-justify--center\">\n\t<div  class=\"fndry-col fndry-responsive-bg feature-content fndry-col--6 fndry-col--sm-12 fndry-col--md-12 fndry-pt--4 fndry-pb--4 fndry-pr--3 fndry-pr--sm-0 fndry-pl--sm-0 fndry-pr--md-0 fndry-pb--md-3 fndry-pl--md-0 fndry-pt--md-3 fndry-d--flex fndry-flex--col fndry-align--start fndry-justify--center\">\n\t<h3 class=\"fndry-heading\" style=\"color:var(--fndry-color-secondary)\">ADSU Projects<\/h3><p class=\"fndry-paragraph\">Learn more about our current projects.<\/p><a  href=\"https:\/\/www.bcchr.ca\/adsu\/projects\/\" rel=\"\" id=\"fndry-block-64afdc400da31\" class=\"fndry-btn fndry-btn-secondaryButton\">Projects<\/a><\/div>\n<div  class=\"fndry-col fndry-responsive-bg gradient fndry-col--6 fndry-col--sm-12 fndry-col--md-12 fndry-pt--md-0 fndry-pb--md-0 fndry-pl--md-0 fndry-pr--md-0 fndry-pl--sm-0 fndry-pr--sm-0\">\n\t<figure  class=\"fndry-image fndry-mt--0 fndry-mb--0\" style=\"--imageWidth:100%;--img-height-all:100%\" aria-labelledby=\"img-2516\">\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bcchr.ca\/adsu\/files\/2026\/04\/adsu-projects.jpg\" class=\"fndry-image__img fndry-pb--2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" style=\"--borderRadius:0px;--objectFit:cover;--imagePosX:50%;--imagePosY:50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bcchr.ca\/adsu\/files\/2026\/04\/adsu-projects.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.bcchr.ca\/adsu\/files\/2026\/04\/adsu-projects-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bcchr.ca\/adsu\/files\/2026\/04\/adsu-projects-768x640.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\t\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div  class=\"fndry-container fndry-responsive-bg fndry-container--full\">\n\t<div class=\"fndry-row fndry-align--center fndry-justify--center\">\n\t<div  class=\"fndry-col fndry-responsive-bg fndry-col--6 fndry-col--md-12 fndry-pl--6 fndry-pr--6 fndry-pt--8 fndry-pb--7 fndry-pr--md-4 fndry-pl--md-4 fndry-pl--sm-2 fndry-pr--sm-2 fndry-d--flex fndry-flex--col fndry-align--center fndry-justify--center\" style=\"--fndry-bg:linear-gradient(0deg, var(--fndry-color-secondary80) 50%, var(--fndry-color-secondary80) 50%) no-repeat center\/auto, url(https:\/\/www.bcchr.ca\/adsu\/files\/2026\/04\/bc-childrens-hospital-research-institute-home.jpg) no-repeat center\/cover\">\n\t<h2 class=\"fndry-heading fndry-align-text--center\" style=\"color:var(--fndry-color-white)\">Contact Us<\/h2><p class=\"fndry-paragraph fndry-align-text--center fndry-text-intro20Type500Weight\" style=\"--color:var(--fndry-color-white)\">Contact us with your inquiries.<\/p><a  href=\"https:\/\/www.bcchr.ca\/adsu\/contact\/\" rel=\"\" id=\"fndry-block-64afe09a192dc\" class=\"fndry-btn fndry-mr--auto fndry-ml--auto fndry-btn-whiteButtonReverse\">Contact<\/a><\/div>\n<div  class=\"fndry-col fndry-responsive-bg fndry-col--6 fndry-col--md-12 fndry-pl--6 fndry-pr--6 fndry-pt--8 fndry-pb--7 fndry-pr--md-4 fndry-pl--md-4 fndry-pl--sm-2 fndry-pr--sm-2 fndry-d--flex fndry-flex--col fndry-align--center fndry-justify--center\" style=\"--fndry-bg:linear-gradient(180deg, var(--fndry-color-tertiary80) 50%, var(--fndry-color-tertiary80) 50%) center\/auto, url(https:\/\/www.bcchr.ca\/adsu\/files\/2026\/04\/adsu-student-trainee-opportunties-home.jpg) no-repeat center\/cover\">\n\t<h2 class=\"fndry-heading fndry-align-text--center\" style=\"color:var(--fndry-color-black)\">Student &#038;
