AI in Healthcare: an NHS perspective
AI has the potential to revolutionise the way we treat patients. However, the extent to which this revolution can be realised largely depends on the technology's integration into the NHS. To this end, we'll be hearing from 5 influential NHS leaders to discuss what the future of healthcare looks like in an AI-driven world.
Panel 1: Research and Development
AI based research vs clinical reality - will AI deliver on the clinical promise?
The public release of ChatGPT has taken all of our imaginations by storm as the possibilities for impact and progress across society are seemingly endless. AI is poised to revolutionise drug discovery research with its potential for faster throughput, quick routes to novel targets, and a step change in the industry. At our upcoming conference, we’re bringing together a panel of pharmaceutical executives, founders, and experts to explore the clinical promise of AI-based drug discovery. Join us as we dive into the most pertinent challenges we face and examine whether AI can deliver on these soaring ambitions. Join us as we unravel the complexities and discover whether AI is really the panacea for all our drug discovery woes.
Panel II: Implementation and Delivery
AI impact across healthcare
While the potential of AI in drug discovery is exciting, it is only one piece of the puzzle. Our second panel discussion will explore how AI can be implemented throughout the healthcare industry to achieve a truly transformative impact. The possibilities for AI in diagnostics, hospital administration, and personalized care are vast, but how do we bring them all together to create a cohesive and effective system? Our expert panel, including policy makers, industry leaders, and AI innovators, will tackle the big questions of how we can optimize the use of AI-driven technologies to achieve the best possible patient outcomes. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the barriers to implementing these tools within the NHS and hear first hand recommendations on how we can overcome them. Let’s pave the way for a streamlined, AI-driven healthcare industry.
