AI-Powered Skin Cancer Diagnosis
You are invited to join an engaging conversation around the potential role and challenges of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of skin cancer.
Refreshments and canapés will be served on arrival. Please register your attendance for catering purposes.
AI-powered skin cancer diagnosis is a promising new technology that has the potential to improve early detection and treatment of skin cancer. AI algorithms can identify skin cancer with a high degree of accuracy, and can be used to triage patients and prioritise those who need to be seen by a specialised clinician urgently.
AI-powered skin cancer diagnosis also has the potential to increase accuracy when trained on large datasets, reduce wait times and increase access to care; particularly for people who live in rural or underserved areas.
However, there are many challenges which still need to be addressed before AI-powered skin cancer diagnosis can be widely adopted, including availability of data, algorithm bias and regulatory approvals.
This year's event will be hosted by Professor H. Peter Soyer, who will help to guide this multi-dimensional conversation.
