iADH Launches its first online webinar of 2024 – and It’s about AI

In this talk on March 5th , we will explore the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on education and healthcare, emphasising its role in offering new tools and techniques for praxis (such as, diagnosis and treatment, telemedicine, assistive devices or wearables, as well as in strengthening inclusive health data systems through predictive modelling). Additionally, we will look at application in education, including personalising or augmenting learning experiences. We will consider the opportunities and challenges of making AI fit for purpose in low-resource environments, underserved regions, or for neglected populations. Furthermore, the talk highlights AI’s potential role in upskilling the healthcare workforce through innovative training methods and simulations.
