AI in Healthcare: From Research to Practice

Many AI models show tremendous promise in research, yet only a small number successfully make the transition into clinical practice. What does it really take to get from a promising model to everyday care?

Join clinicians, researchers, PhD candidates, students and industry for a day at UMCG on exactly that question. Expert talks cover capacity planning, implementation, ethics and trust in human–AI collaboration, and the day closes with a panel on the future of AI in digital healthcare.
