  • Organised by Comparative Medicine

Join us for this insightful discussion as we explore the use of AI applications in healthcare and the potential ethical implications arising from the use of this technology. This meeting intends to be a fascinating exploration of a rapidly expanding field that aims to improve and streamline healthcare.

Participants will be provided with examples of latest trends for the use of AI across the health professions and delve into how it is regulated to protect patients whilst aiding clinicians. Hear from speakers from across human and veterinary medicine as they present currently used or developing AI technologies for monitoring, diagnosing and assisting with the treatment of disease.

By providing a comparative view of this technology, we hope to draw inspiration from the different professions, appreciate how the use of AI is being approached in human and veterinary healthcare, and discuss its potential future impact across healthcare of all species.

Benefits of attending

  • Discover current applications of AI in veterinary and medical care on topics including camera monitoring for preventative healthcare assessment and diagnostic imaging for identification of disease and treatment planning.
  • Consider both advances and shortcomings in the use of AI as a medical tool today and the ethical and regulatory implications of these tools.
  • Explore the differences and similarities between medical and veterinary uses of AI and draw inspiration from each field. 

The aim of this meeting is to provide examples of latest trends for the use of AI across the health professions and to facilitate discussion between medical and veterinary professionals on the proposed benefits, risks and ethical concerns of using AI tools in the modern healthcare setting.
