Agenda

AI holds great promise for healthcare, but realizing its potential requires a careful balance of innovation and practical implementation. Integrating AI into existing workflows and products involves complex changes, and key dependencies like a robust data foundation and alignment with user needs are often overlooked as organizations speed towards adopting cutting-edge technology. By applying these practical principles, organizations can leverage innovative platforms and workflow transformation to achieve scalable, sustainable AI adoption. This session explores how to evaluate AI needs and plan initiatives that match ambition to readiness and ultimately drive outcomes that improve patient care.
