AI and Health Symposium 21 November 2025 14:30 - 17:30

Share
How do we turn AI initiatives into impactful practices in healthcare? In this interdisciplinary event, we will collectively discuss challenges and success factors that allow some AI initiatives in healthcare to thrive, while others fail or stagnate.

From diagnostics to patient care, AI promises to reshape healthcare. But how do we move from “pilots” to “practice”? Many projects stall at the pilot phase, often due to organizational, ethical, and systemic barriers. At the AI and Health Symposium, we will discuss these challenges through real-world examples and explore how cross-community and interdisciplinary collaborations can drive meaningful change.

We invite practitioners and academics active in AI initiatives in healthcare — including medical professionals, AI developers, scholars, patient society representatives, legal and ethical experts, and business and economics professionals — to join the conversation.

Register for the event until 14 November.
