Unlocking the Potential of AI in Healthcare

14:45 - 15:45 | Leeuwen Room I&II

Look before you leap!

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has immense potential in healthcare, from faster and improved diagnosis and clinical decision making to better patient outcomes, and reduced costs. Unfortunately, the adoption of AI in healthcare is still limited, thereby hampering its potential impact.

In recent years, the Netherlands has made significant strides in unlocking the potential of AI in healthcare by providing guidance and removing barriers in the innovation process. However, with regards to (cost-)effectiveness and implementation, there is still much room for improvement, especially in the early stages of the innovation process. During the "Unlocking the potential of AI in healthcare – Look before you leap !" session, Dr. Jaap Trappenburg (UMCU, THINC. The Healthcare Innovation Center) will explore the importance of taking a strategic and thoughtful approach to AI development and implementation in healthcare.

By investing more time in understanding the underlying problem, the current situation, and the needs and perspectives of patients, clinicians, and other stakeholders, we can ensure that AI solutions are not only technically sound but also address real-world challenges and meet the needs of those who will use them. Join this session to gain insights into how we can harness the potential of AI in healthcare and improve healthcare delivery and outcomes.
