Beschrijving

Bridging the gap between physicians and technical experts.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly present in our society and also has more and more applications in the medical world. Throughout two dynamic and engaging days, we will highlight different viewpoints on AI in Healthcare together with the challenges and possible risks of AI applications in healthcare. As a decision-maker, medical or technology expert, you will be given the necessary tools to engage in dialogue and address common challenges in developing and implementing AI in the sector.

Each half-day session will feature three insightful talks, followed by a moderated debate. During these debates, we will integrate and discuss the three key aspects covered in the talks, providing a comprehensive understanding of AI's impact on healthcare.
