The potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is promising. There are countless AI applications, and the healthcare sector can no longer afford to ignore them. However, how can one differentiate between the hype and the actual impact? Successfully deploying AI necessitates more than just intelligent algorithms—it also demands transparency, reliability, and a practical approach. What opportunities and pitfalls exist for entrepreneurs, innovators, and healthcare professionals? Is it merely a distant memory, or have data and AI applications already become integral to daily healthcare practice? In this session, we will explore the rapidly evolving landscape of AI in healthcare, with experts providing an honest and critical behind-the-scenes look.

AI is a branch of computer science specifically focused on creating systems that can perform human-like tasks. These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making. Domains in health care where AI can be applied include medical diagnostics, treatment purposes, and outbreak prediction.

During this session, Tom Heskes (Professor of Data Science at Radboud University), Marnix Zoutenbier (CTO of Demcon Data-Driven Solutions), and Wouter Bulten (CPO/COO of Aiosyn) will discuss the potential of AI in healthcare, what to consider, and how to start taking the first steps.
