Allmänna sjukhuset, E002 (auditorium), Jan Walderströms gata 25, or livestream

Latest developments and future directions
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasingly important part of healthcare, as well as clinical and pre-clinical research in Sweden and across the EU. To meet emerging challenges in applying AI to these fields, the AI in medicine network was established in 2023. The network aims to foster strategic national and international partnerships that strengthen AI applications in health and medicine through multidisciplinary collaboration.
As part of its activities, the network invites you to a half-day mini-symposium featuring leading experts from Sweden and abroad. Join us live to explore how AI is reshaping precision medicine, from AI-powered diagnostics and omics to personalised healthcare and beyond.
Hosts
This event is presented in collaboration with Malmö University, Region Skåne, and the AI Council of the Faculty of Medicine, Umeå University.
