This workshop will bring together patients and researchers (engineers and medical doctors) for an interactive discussion on how artificial intelligence (AI) and new technologies are used in biomedical research and healthcare, with a focus on cardiovascular medicine. It aims to demystify commonly heard concepts, particularly AI, by explaining their role in areas such as medical imaging, digital twins, wearable technologies, and more, and what this means for patients’ diagnosis, treatment, and care.
The session will be shaped by participants’ interests, with opportunities to suggest questions in advance and take part in open discussion. By addressing misconceptions and improving transparency, the workshop aims to build trust in how and why these technologies are used. Ultimately, the project seeks to create a supportive space where patients and their families feel more informed and confident about the role of AI in their care, while encouraging dialogue between researchers and the communities their work is intended to benefit.
