About this event

To say that AI will be a crucial building block for the future of healthcare is stating the obvious. However, we must be aware of both the possibilities and limitations of AI and what it can actually mean in practice.

If it does not serve the patient and healthcare provider, we can seriously question its effectiveness. In other words, how can we ensure we do not miss the impact of AI in healthcare? By making AI acceptable. In this keynote, Tom Braekeleirs delves deeper into AI, beyond the hype. A story about the Why, Wow, and Well of AI in Healthcare.
