AI-Powered Transformation in Patient Care, Monitoring, and Diagnostics

Explore the cutting-edge AI technologies that are transforming patient care from episodic visits to continuous monitoring, 24/7 in the home. 


- Continuous Remote Monitoring: Discover how AI facilitates real-time tracking of patient health from the comfort of their homes, featuring examples that are covered by Medicare and some employer insurance.

- Predictive Analytics & Early Diagnostics: Understand how data-driven insights can anticipate potential health issues even before patients typically schedule an appointment or visit Urgent Care.

- New Diagnostic & Monitoring Techniques: Learn about Vocal Biomarkers, which utilize a patient’s voice as a vital sign, and Movement as a Vital Sign, particularly for musculoskeletal problems and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s.

Generative AI vs. Agentic AI: Understanding the Next Wave of AI

Explore how Agentic AI differs from Generative AI, and learn where each is best applied in healthcare. This session highlights key industry insights, real-world use cases, and the evolving levels of autonomy in AI, helping audiences understand how both technologies are reshaping clinical practice.

- Agentic AI in Action: See how autonomous AI agents enforce compliance, manage data workflows, and proactively support clinicians in real time.

- Generative AI Applications: Discover how GenAI accelerates documentation, summarization, and patient communication, easing the burden of repetitive tasks.

-Levels of Autonomy: Understand the spectrum from assistive to fully autonomous systems, and what it means for trust, safety, and clinical adoption.


When AI Stops Asking for Permission: The Promise and Peril of Generative & Agentic AI

AI is no longer just generating, it’s taking action. As control begins to shift, Robin Farmanfarmaian exposes the unsettling behaviors already seen in agentic systems, from manipulation and deception to blackmail-like tactics in simulated environments.

But this isn’t theoretical. These systems are rapidly moving out of the lab and into the real world, into hospitals, into workflows, and increasingly, into the home, where care is becoming continuous, data-driven, and autonomous. As AI evolves from assistant to decision-maker, the stakes shift from efficiency to trust, safety, and control.

This keynote breaks down the critical difference between AI that analyzes, AI that creates, and AI that acts, and why that last category changes everything. Through real-world examples and emerging use cases, Robin reveals how today’s most advanced systems are already influencing decisions, coordinating care, and reshaping the patient experience.

Cybersecurity in the Age of AI: Deepfakes, Trust, and Emerging Threats


Artificial intelligence is making a profound impact across all industries, and healthcare is no exception. This keynote explores the dynamic intersection of AI and healthcare, addressing these critical topics:


- AI Frameworks and Interoperability: Discover industry-led AI frameworks and essential interoperability guidelines that facilitate seamless integration and collaboration across healthcare systems. Rapid advancements in technology and federal regulations are driving a transformation in interoperability.


- Security in the Age of AI: Understand the vital security considerations necessary to safeguard patient data and ensure compliance in an increasingly AI-driven environment. We will discuss various threats, including cybercriminals targeting healthcare employees, the risks posed by AI-generated misinformation, and vulnerabilities associated with medical and smart devices.
