AI in Healthcare: Opportunities, Barriers and the Path to Adoption
AI has the potential to transform healthcare, from improving diagnostics and streamlining operations to enabling more personalised patient care. Yet despite rapid advances, widespread adoption across the health sector remains complex.
This event will explore both the opportunities AI presents and the barriers that continue to limit its adoption. Bringing together industry leaders and technology experts, the discussion will examine the practical, ethical and operational factors shaping AI implementation across healthcare.
Topics will include the potential for improved patient outcomes, operational efficiency and innovation, alongside challenges such as data quality and accessibility, regulatory and compliance requirements, integration with existing systems, workforce readiness, and concerns around trust, transparency and patient safety. Attendees will gain insight into how organisations are balancing these opportunities and risks, and where meaningful progress is being made.
