When the Doctor Says ‘Beep’: Navigating AI’s Impact on the Future of Healthcare

Ever googled a symptom and convinced yourself it was something dire? Now imagine AI systems that can offer diagnoses before you hit that panic button plus credible enough so that they even help doctors in harder cases. As well as automate hospital workflows so doctors can focus on healing instead of paperwork. That’s not science fiction; it’s happening right now.
In this talk, we’ll explore how AI advancements are:
- Accelerating Diagnoses – Spotting diseases faster (and often more accurately) than traditional methods,
- Automating Operations – Slashing admin time and turning hospitals into efficiency hubs.
- Personalizing Treatment – Harnessing individual patient data so care plans aren’t one-size-fits-all
- Enabling Self-Diagnosis – Equipping everyday people with surprisingly powerful tools (without fueling hypochondria).

We’ll tackle the big questions: are AI-driven decisions trustworthy, and how to ensure that? Where do regulators draw the line? And will robots really replace doctors? Spoiler: AI isn’t a silver bullet – but it’s poised to transform healthcare for both professionals and patients. This talk will try to give a peek into the near future and what’s coming – and will stand in the way.
