Health Procurement Thematic Innovation Ecosystem: Procuring and adopting AI – interactive event

The Health Procurement Thematic Innovation Ecosystem (TIE), hosted by ECHAlliance and AQuAS, explores the role of value-based procurement and how healthcare initiatives can finally be implemented, adopted, and scaled.

Topic: Procuring and adopting AI

This interactive event will specifically focus on “Procuring and Adopting AI”, bringing together key stakeholders to exchange knowledge and collaborate on best practices. Discussions will center on AI applications in primary care, social care, and hospitals, as well as will bring opportunities for collaboration. By fostering dialogue between industry leaders, healthcare professionals, and procurement experts, this session aims to ensure that AI-driven innovations deliver tangible value to patients, professionals, and the broader healthcare system.

The discussion will revolve around: AI in primary care, AI in social care, AI in hospitals, how are we procuring and mostly, how to collaborate.
