ROBO-Health: AI and the Future of Healthcare

The Meaning of Health Podcast was started by Courtney Weber and Craig Cumming, then PhD students at the University of Western Australia’s School of Population and Global Health in 2019. The aim of the podcast is to cover a broad range of health and health-related topics in a clear and easy to follow way by chatting with experts from research, practice, lived experience, consumer, advocacy, and public service backgrounds.

Almost five years later, the Meaning of Health team is preparing to record and release its 100th episode and would like to invite you to help us celebrate by being part of the audience for our first ever live podcast. We have a assembled a panel of experts to discuss what the rise of AI means for the future of healthcare and the way our health system operates. Our panel will explore the implications of using AI to assist with research into new treatments, the legal issues, and the implications for healthcare consumers in the future.
