Second Annual Duke Summit on AI for Health Innovation Explores How AI Is Shaping the Future of Healthcare
This past October, Duke AI Health, in partnership with the Center for Computational and Digital Health Innovation at Duke University and the Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI) hosted the 2nd annual Duke Summit on AI for Health Innovation at the North Carolina Biotechnology Center in Research Triangle Park. The conference, which took place October 8-9, brought together experts representing a wide range of fields including healthcare, engineering, computer science, and the biomedical sciences to explore how AI can drive health innovation. Through a series of presentations, lightning talks, panel discussions, and structured “breakout” tables, participants were invited to:
- Engage in conversations about the future agenda of AI-driven health innovation;
- Network with leaders from academia, industry, and healthcare;
- Understand how to work with healthcare & learn about AI limitations and opportunities; and
- Learn about the landscape of AI development in healthcare.
In addition to convening healthcare professionals, industry leaders, business professionals, and faculty, students, and staff from Duke and other academic institutions, the Summit also received support from sponsors Johnson & Johnson, NVIDIA, Cisco, Mark III, VAST Data, and the NC Biotechnology Center.
The Summit leveraged Duke’s strengths in AI product development and healthcare innovation as speakers and panel participants explored responsible AI applications that improve health outcomes for patients and communities. The event also featured extensive Duke student engagement and offered opportunities for participants to engage with the broader academic and AI development communities, including industry partners, venture capital, and startups.
In the coming weeks and months, Duke AI Health will be releasing a curated set of video highlights from the Summit. Stay tuned!
