About the Event

Artificial Intelligence is redefining healthcare - from diagnostics and decision support to medical imaging, personalized treatment and computational medicine. This edition of The AI Collective: AI in Healthcare, co-organized by The AI Collective Poland in collaboration with AGH University, explores how AI is moving from research labs and prototypes into real clinical and diagnostic workflows.

In this special edition, we zoom in on a critical frontier: AI in Diagnostics. We will look at how modern machine learning models can help us interpret complex biological and medical data - from the human gut microbiome to CT imaging and clinical decision-making.

Together with researchers, founders and MedTech practitioners, we will discuss what it takes to build AI systems that are not only technically impressive, but also useful, trustworthy and safe in real healthcare environments.

This event will be held in Polish 🇵🇱
