Real-World AI Diagnostic Tools, Use-Cases and Strategies: a MedFIT session by CAIDX

Artificial intelligence in diagnostics is moving from theory to practice — and this session is designed to show exactly how. The event brings together leading experts and healthcare innovators to share concrete solutions, real-world use cases, and actionable strategies for AI adoption. Taking place at MedFIT, the session also offers the option of free online participation, ensuring broad access across Europe and beyond. 

This solution-oriented session equips innovators, clinicians, investors, and policy makers with the knowledge to accelerate the path from innovation to clinical reality. Participants are encouraged to explore the Clinical AI Pathway Toolbox, developed within the CAIDX project, which offers practical resources for developing, validating, and implementing AI diagnostics with the purpose of increasing the number of implemented and scaled AI solutions in healthcare: https://clinicalai.eu/ 

The event is organized by the CAIDX initiative. Our final conference at MedFIT convenes European partners to present results and chart the next steps for AI diagnostics. 

Join us in Strasbourg with a MedFIT ticket or register to participate online free of charge.
