Building Resilient Healthcare Symposium
Healthcare is under pressure: rising demand, workforce strain, and rapid technological change. How do we build systems that do not just survive, but adapt and thrive? What lessons are there to be learned from past experiences? How does research leave the lab towards a meaningful clinical implementation?
Researchers, students, PhD candidates, medical professionals, and industry partners are all welcome at the full-day Resilience Symposium organized by the Digital Healthcare Community. The full-day symposium is dedicated to examine how digital technology and AI can strengthen quality, safety, and accessibility in healthcare, precisely when it matters most.

What to expect:
• AI factory in Groningen
• Translating AI into clinical practice
• Resilience in healthcare systems
• Ethics, trust & explainability in AI
• Real-world implementation challenges
• Multi-perspective panel (clinical, legal, ethical, institutional)
