Driving Innovation Through Procurement: Matchmaking for breakthrough AI solutions for medical imaging powered by the European Innovation Council

Baobab Room

Information

The rapid advancement of AI in medical imaging offers significant opportunities to improve diagnostics, streamline workflows, and enhance patient outcomes. However, the lack of standardised Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) remains a key challenge to widespread adoption. Without clear metrics to measure clinical, operational, and financial impact, healthcare providers and decision-makers struggle to assess the value of AI-driven solutions and integrate them effectively.

The European Innovation Council (EIC), the flagship EU initiative on Innovation, is organising a matchmaking event focusing on the above-mentioned challenge. A select group of EIC innovators will present their cutting-edge solutions to a panel of leading healthcare procurers. Join us and get to know disruptive technologies that addressing the challenge described above and explore potential collaborations through procurement that can drive innovative transformations in the health sector.
