Details
AI isn’t just influencing MedTech — it’s set to define its future. AI is already transforming how MedTech is conceived, built, and brought to market - and in the near future will become an essential component of most MedTech solutions; either incorporated into the solution itself, or in its development.
By connecting perspectives across the innovation ecosystem, this session explores what AI-driven MedTech looks like in practice: evidence-based, patient-centred, and collaboratively developed. Attendees will gain a holistic view of how Australia’s academic, government, and industry sectors are working together to translate AI-driven MedTech solutions into safe, effective, and sustainable healthcare solutions and how AI is already being used to drive efficiencies across the MedTech development and commercialisation lifecycle.
