The Future of Healthcare Systems

------------------------------------

Healthcare systems are under immense and unprecedented pressure to keep up with demand in an environment where funding is low and resources are limited. Hospital visits are on the rise, waiting times for life-saving treatments are at the worst on record, and talent retention is an increasingly difficult challenge to overcome as fewer people enter the workforce or change careers in search of better conditions.

In parallel, data and AI technologies offer numerous opportunities to tackle these challenges. Whether it be AI in diagnostics, drug discovery and genomics, or improvements in operational efficiencies, by analysing vast amounts of data, AI is helping clinicians diagnose diseases, tailor treatments to individuals, and manage services more efficiently. However, data security, privacy, ethics and the responsible use of AI must be at the heart of any decisions to implement new technologies.

During this event we’ll learn about two examples of how data & AI can help improve healthcare systems on both the clinical side with cancer detection, and in operations such as with staff scheduling and hospital bed management.

We'll then break into groups to discuss some of the challenges, opportunities and ethical considerations of implementing these technologies safely, with the best interests of patients, staff and wider society in mind.
