FHMS Panel discussion: AI and its potential role in Healthcare

When: Thursday 22nd August from 5.30-7.30 pm

AI as a tool to enhance or support decision-making is everywhere and promises to be the next revolution in healthcare. From early detection of cancer to waiting list backlog. However, AI is a loose term that prompts strong emotional reactions, capable of bringing utopia or the end of humanity. The term itself is meant to represent a machine that can have cognitive abilities similar to humans. In this panel discussion, Prof Rafael Perera-Salazar and other experts in machine learning and innovation in healthcare will discuss the basic premise of AI, some of the basic tools that have been developed as a way of reaching this (theoretical) goal and how these tools are changing the way we interact, including how healthcare is or might be delivered in the near future.
