Keynote: The Digital Backbone: Governing AI in Healthcare

AI is transforming healthcare — but without the right foundation, transformation becomes fragmentation. This session examines why the data infrastructure and governance architecture beneath AI systems matters as much as the models themselves. Drawing on real-world experience in health data platform deployment across European markets, it explores how organisations can build unified, governed foundations that support regulatory compliance under MDR and the EU AI Act, accelerate responsible AI adoption, and reduce the long-term cost and risk of operating AI in clinical environments.
