Description

Infectious diseases remain one of the most pressing challenges for healthcare systems worldwide. Advances in artificial intelligence and digital health tools are creating new opportunities to detect outbreaks earlier, improve diagnostic accuracy, and personalize patient care. Yet these innovations also raise critical questions around data privacy, bias, and the need for equitable access to technology.

Hosted by the International Medical and Scientific Association (IMSC), this session brings together leading clinicians, researchers, and public health experts to:

  • Explore AI-driven innovations in infectious disease detection, monitoring, and treatment.

  • Examine lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and how technology can strengthen preparedness for future outbreaks.

  • Discuss ethical and equity considerations when deploying AI in diverse healthcare settings.

  • Provide actionable strategies for integrating new tools into practice without compromising patient trust or safety.

By the end of the webinar, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how infectious disease management is evolving and leave with practical approaches for responsibly implementing technology in their clinical or research practice.
