Silent symposium: From Automation to AI Agents - Orchestrating clinical operations to release time and transform patient pathways, presented by Blue Prism. Healthcare organisations have already realised significant benefits from Robotic Process Automation (RPA). The next step is the use of AI agents that can coordinate and optimise entire operational workflows rather than automate individual tasks. This presentation explores how Blue Prism’s evolution towards agentic AI enables intelligent orchestration across radiology and wider patient pathways, reducing administrative burden, accelerating patient flow and releasing clinical time.
Monday 29 June: 17:00-18:00
From concept to clinic: pitching the next big breakthrough: Experience the energy of our live “Dragons’ Den”-style showcase, where an expert panel of judges will hear a shortlist of bold, practical AI concepts and early-stage prototypes designed to transform radiology and oncology. From smarter clinical decision-making and streamlined workflows to stronger implementation, education, governance and ethical use of AI, these ideas tackle some of the biggest opportunities and challenges in the field. Come along, be inspired and watch innovation unfold live.
Monday 29 June: 18:00-19:00
