Presentation
El Taulí Health Artificial Intelligence Symposium (THAIS) is a landmark event that brings together health professionals, researchers and experts in artificial intelligence to explore the impact and applications of this technology in the healthcare sectorThrough presentations, roundtables and case studies, the symposium encourages innovation and collaboration to improve medical care and health outcomes.
After three editions, the Mixed Unit of the Clinical, Interventional and Computational Nephrology (CICN) research group of the Parc Taulí Research and Innovation Institute (I3PT) and the High Performance Computing for Efficient Applications and Simulation (HPC4EAS) group of the UAB School of Engineering present the 4th THAIS on June 17th and 18th, and the pre-symposium course on June 16th.
El pre-symposium course Its objectives are to intensively review the main aspects to know about AI in health, understand the steps and needs when using this technology and teach the principles necessary for conducting research.
Targets
- Answer the question of the'impact that is having and will have in attendance
- What are the challenges What to consider when doing research
- Where can this technology take us?
- We know their risks and limitations?
- Why get to know the regulatory is it no longer an option?
- Why you need to think about “mode” innovation"?
- In what and how should we to train ourselves?
The perspective of the encounter is based on a multidisciplinary approach, with the participation of clinical staff, engineers, specialists in health technology, ethics and legal matters, managers of public and private entities and innovation experts.
The topics will be presented in round tables for references in the subjects with discussion panels to foster interdisciplinary interactions and facilitate a teaching and critical vision. The main challenges, opportunities and latest hot topics will be discussed.
Likewise, it will accommodate the presentation of communications, to provide the opportunity to show the experience of the groups that are working in the area.
Main topics
The great challenges of artificial intelligence in health, up for debateThe round tables of the THAIS will bring together experts to address, from a critical and multidisciplinary perspective, the main issues that mark the current and future agenda of AI in the healthcare field. Through dialogue and knowledge exchange, the aim will be to provide answers to key questions such as:
-
Resource management in AI in healthcare: who does it depend on and how is it managed?
-
Where is AI right now and how far (do we think) can it go?
-
Governance and health data in the new European scenario
-
Algorithms: train, validate, implement… one challenge after another
-
AI research: what should we know?
-
Implementation of AI in clinical practice: where are we?
-
We should start thinking about the key now "cloudfirst"?
-
The new European AI law: when regulation is no longer an option
-
Generative AI: is it ready for application in healthcare?
-
Risks and biases of AI: the other side of the coin
-
AI and ethics, or from theory to reality: the role of the CEIm
-
Innovation as the cornerstone of AI in health
-
Training: what and how should we train?
-
Multidisciplinary AI teams in healthcare: will they change the rules of the game?
These debates will offer a complete and up-to-date view of the opportunities, risks, challenges and implications of AI in the healthcare ecosystem. An essential event for healthcare professionals, researchers, technologists and those responsible for healthcare management and regulation.
