Substantive, high-impact AI in healthcare

Healthcare track

Healthcare does not need another generic AI overview. This track goes after the difficult questions: what the data infrastructure actually has to look like, what reaches the patient, what the evidence says, and what is still unresolved at the research frontier.

📅 November 13, 2026 📍 UMCG · Rode Zaal, Groningen
About the track

The hard questions, not the tour.

This track is aimed at clinicians, researchers, healthcare executives, regulators and AI practitioners — an audience that can handle, and wants, substance.

The programme is built in three movements: foundations and data infrastructure; clinical AI and patient impact; and research frontiers and emerging topics. Speakers include clinicians, researchers, executives, regulators, implementation leads and health-data specialists.

Seven sessions in aiGrunn's central 3-2-2 day format, hosted at the UMCG.

Call for proposals

Working where AI meets the patient?

We are looking for clinicians, researchers, healthcare executives, regulators, implementation leads, health-data specialists and AI practitioners with something substantive to put in front of a demanding audience.

Difficult questions with scientific and practical relevance, rather than a broad introduction. Submit your proposal for aiGrunn 2026 and join a lineup of speakers from across the Netherlands and beyond.

  • Substance over overview: evidence, methods, outcomes and what remains unresolved
  • Regulatory and implementation realities are part of the story, not a footnote
  • No sales pitches. All talks must deliver genuine learning value
  • Slots: 30 minutes including Q&A
