About The Event
Artificial Intelligence is at the very heart of medical device and digital health development and will continue to play an ever-growing role. The inclusion of AI in your product offering may transform how you think about your business strategy, position in the market, pitching to investors, and how you define your product – are you a physical product company or does your value lie in AI and data?
At this event, sponsored by the State Government of Victoria, our speakers will present on the latest trends, how AI can be developed and considerations to keep in mind as you position yourself in the market such as data storage, cloud data management, security, confidentiality and IP. The event will conclude with a facilitated panel discussion and audience Q&A.
