Leveraging AI for Global Healthcare Delivery – ECHAlliance at the UNGA79 Science Summit

ECHAlliance’s upcoming Round Table at the UNGA Science Summit in New York on Tuesday, 24 September, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM EST, will seek to foster a more balanced discussion on the role of AI in healthcare.

Events

Few new technologies have developed with such speed or engendered such contrasting emotions of anxiety, fear, hope and excitement as AI. Whilst we understand the concerns in other sectors, healthcare has been an early adopter of AI and the opportunities for new drugs, products, services, treatments and better patient outcomes with the help of AI are real and substantial.

There has been a range of governance and regulatory initiatives including the US Executive Order on AI Standards for Safety and Security, the G7 Code of Conduct, the passing of the European AI Act and the Digital Health Society & I~HD AI Club Report “Creating the environment of trust and acceptance that maximises the benefits of AI in healthcare”.

ECHAlliance’s Round Table interactive session at the UNGA Science Summit in New York on Tuesday 24 September from 3.00pm to 4:00pm EST, will strive to present a better balance to discussions around the use of AI in healthcare.

 

Discussions will cover:

  • Diagnostics and Treatment
  • Data Access and Standardisation
  • Ethical Considerations and Bias
  • How could AI and Digital Health help the World Bank to deliver affordable health services to 1.5B people by 2030?
  • AI in Health System Management and Policy making
  • International Collaboration and the Future of AI in Health

 

Round Table panellists will be announced next month so watch out for the impressive list of experts, who will be drawn from a number of sectors and from around the world who will be sharing their knowledge and opinions.
