3rd Symposium Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Healthcare

Department of Advanced Computing Sciences, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Maastricht University

The global healthcare system is struggling with aging populations, complex health conditions, rising expectations, and increasing costs. The current approach still relies on patients initiating the healthcare process. This approach often results in missed early disease detection, inefficient resource use, and high costs. There is a need for a new healthcare model emphasizing continuous, preventive care and transforming patients into participants in their health. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to facilitate this shift.

In the third edition of the Symposium on AI in Medicine and Healthcare we will explore how AI can revolutionize healthcare over the next decade, shifting from reactive care to proactive, preventive, and personalized approaches. Discussions will highlight AI’s role in enhancing diagnostic accuracy, disease prognosis, and medical decision-making while mitigating biases, and improving healthcare accessibility and operational efficiency. Beyond technical advancements, the symposium will also address ethical, policy, and regulatory considerations in AI adoption, ensuring responsible integration into clinical practice. Through keynote lectures, expert discussions, and networking opportunities, attendees will gain insights into the latest AI innovations, real-world applications, and global success stories that are shaping the future of medicine and healthcare.
