"By focusing on practical applications (of AI) and real-world challenges, we are preparing our future healthcare leaders to innovate and improve patient outcomes significantly," she said. Dr Swadeep Srivastav, founder of healthcare marketing agency Healthpresso, said AI represents a paradigm shift in the approach to healthcare delivery. It offers the ability to analyse vast datasets, uncover hidden patterns, and make informed decisions that enhance patient care, he said.
"However, with this power comes responsibility. We must ensure that AI is deployed ethically and equitably, addressing biases and privacy concerns to truly benefit society," Srivastav said.

The workshop underscored the need for specialised AI applications in healthcare, such as development of a healthGPT, which would provide tailored solutions by leveraging healthcare-specific data.
