The University of Twente - TechMed Centre is where groundbreaking research and innovation come to life, connecting society, medical professionals, and experts in healthcare technology. Through a dynamic mix of workshops, conferences, and symposiums, we create opportunities to learn, collaborate, and push the boundaries of medical innovation.
Exciting events are on the horizon, bringing together knowledge sharing, cutting-edge technology, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Whether you're looking to explore the latest developments, exchange ideas with industry leaders, or be part of the future of healthcare, there’s something for everyone.
One standout example is the TechMed Research Day, an event for and by UT researchers and students in healthcare, featuring inspiring presentations on innovative projects and fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange. The annual TechMed Event provides a platform for MedTech professionals and innovators to showcase breakthroughs and applications. Both events drive progress in healthcare.

- 25 Mar | MedTech Twente Twente: AI in healthcare: is there (still) a doctor in the room?
The potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is promising. There are countless AI applications, and the healthcare sector can no longer afford to ignore them. However, how can one differentiate between the hype and the actual impact? Successfully deploying AI necessitates more than just intelligent algorithms—it also demands transparency, reliability, and a practical approach. What opportunities and pitfalls exist for entrepreneurs, innovators, and healthcare professionals? Is it merely a distant memory, or have data and AI applications already become integral to daily healthcare practice? In this session, we will explore the rapidly evolving landscape of AI in healthcare, with experts providing an honest and critical behind-the-scenes look.
AI is a branch of computer science specifically focused on creating systems that can perform human-like tasks. These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making. Domains in health care where AI can be applied include medical diagnostics, treatment purposes, and outbreak prediction.
During this session, Tom Heskes (Professor of Data Science at Radboud University), Marnix Zoutenbier (CTO of Demcon Data-Driven Solutions), and Wouter Bulten (Chief Innovation Officer of Aiosyn) will discuss the potential of AI in healthcare, what to consider, and how to start taking the first steps.
