PANEL: AI in Healthcare. Bridging Ethical Gaps and Practical Implementation Passed
Wednesday May 21, 2025 14:30 - 15:00 Vitalis Plaza
Moderator: Michel SilvestriPanelists: Katrine Riklund, Sebastian Slej, Wenjie Liang
Track: Health data
Following their presentations on AI-based data curation (Wenjie Liang, AIDAVA) and the European infrastructure for AI in cancer imaging (Katrine Riklund, EUCAIM), the panelists joined by Sebastian Slej (Corti.ai) will explore how these emerging technologies can be responsibly deployed to address critical patient care gaps while navigating evolving regulatory frameworks. Moderated by Michel Silvestri, the discussion will examine realistic expectations for AI implementation across pan-European healthcare systems, considering how improved understanding of the AI Act, MDR, and EHDS requirements might simultaneously enhance quality while potentially slowing development. The panel will critically assess current ethical tools and approaches, questioning whether they adequately address patient experience concerns and what practical steps can accelerate responsible implementation. Attendees will gain insights into the tension between ambitious AI promises and implementation realities, with concrete examples of how organizations are successfully navigating technical, ethical, and regulatory challenges to deliver real-world AI solutions in healthcare.
