Title:  AI in medicine: from the conceptualization to its clinical application. Opportunities & Challenges

Abstract: The path from brilliant ideas to their concrete embodiment into a working application it’s a fascinating (and sometimes exhausting) journey of opportunities and challenges. We will provide an overview of why medicine needs AI. We will further explore the challenges we encounter throughout the development cycle and how we have tried to overcome them. From demand analysis, to model development, through the hurdles of current global regulatory landscape, market access and health-technology assessment, we will discover that a model in medicine is not just a model. It means encoding medical knowledge in a way that is legally usable (and desirable) by doctors, nurses and patients in a highly regulated sector.
