Health AI is at a turning point and the rose-coloured glasses are coming off. Beyond the hype, it’s time to shift the focus from ‘What’s possible?’ to ‘What actually delivers?’.

This flagship event convenes Monash’s major entities in Health AI for a full day of insight into building, deploying and scaling health AI that brings real benefits to patients, clinicians and the sector at large – with examples of innovations underway.
