Why this symposium matters

Three commitments that shape every session.

Clinical judgement at the centre

ISMAI focuses on the responsible use of medical AI in ways that support clinical judgement, professional responsibility and patient safety.

Patient safety and accountability

Every discussion is grounded in safe implementation, auditability, and clear lines of professional responsibility.

Governance and public trust

Responsible medical AI requires institutional readiness, transparency, and protection of patient interests.

Programme

Six sessions across two days.

The scientific programme is structured around clinical practice, patient safety, governance, ethics, education and implementation.

Session I

Foundations of Medical AI

Intelligence, history and clinical judgement as the basis for any responsible use of AI in medicine.

Session II

AI Across the Real Patient Pathway

How AI enters diagnosis, decision support and care delivery along the actual trajectory of a patient.

Session III

Evidence, Validation and Patient Safety

Pre-deployment evaluation, post-deployment monitoring, incident reporting and assurance.

Session IV

Philosophy of Medical AI
