On September 5, the second edition of the European AI for health conference took place in Palais de Tokyo. This conference brings together various ecosystems involved in digitization of the healthcare sector, including research institutes, start-ups and large companies. The edition of this year focused on three major challenges we are facing today:

-data, security and ethics

-the hospital of the future and care pathways

-AI for health: public health and human development

During the entire day presentations were given on various stages and round table discussions were held with key players from different European ecosystems.

The Netherlands was represented in the “demo zone” with five Dutch AI & health start-ups. Below a brief overview of the start-ups:
