How ISMAI 2026 approaches this theme
The Florence symposium considers validation as a continuing responsibility rather than a one-off gate at go-live.
Sessions look at study design, external validation, calibration, post-deployment monitoring and what patient-safety practice can bring to medical AI.
Discussion connects safety cases, incident learning and lines of accountability so that responsibilities are visible before, during and after deployment.
Relevant programme session
This theme is developed in Session 3: Evidence, Validation and Patient Safety of the ISMAI 2026 scientific programme. Sessions run under Chatham House rules where clinical case material is discussed, so that presentations remain candid without compromising confidentiality.
