The debate about AI in healthcare is often about efficiency, productivity and freed-up tasks carried out by clinicians. But what if we asked another question: How can AI create better lives for citizens?

In this session, healthcare experts from research, industry, and the innovation system challenge the traditional narrative of AI as mainly a tool for cost savings. Using concrete examples from the healthcare system and the public sector, they examine how AI can enable earlier diagnoses, more prevention, better patient care, and stronger public services.

The session focuses on shifting the AI agenda from technology and efficiency to societal value and citizen experiences.

AI can save 30,000 full-time equivalents has become an easy-to-understand message, but it is not motivating. Let's start by exploring how we can create a better, leaner healthcare system and, hopefully, reduce some of the time-consuming processes clinicians face every day.
