Responsible AI in Health Care

Date: September 11, 2025 – September 12, 2025
Location: Hilton Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to impact society in various and profound ways. It is inevitable that health care will face significant changes through the introduction of AI systems that are intended to support the health care system with diagnosis, treatment decision-making, hospital management, medical research and development, nursing care, and the health infrastructure (homecare, insurance etc.) more broadly.

The conference ‘Responsible AI in Health Care’ will clearly map how the introduction of AI in medicine unfolds, which aspects of the health care systems will be impacted most, and how this impact will unfold. First and foremost, it intends to discuss in depth, the question how to shape this transition in a responsible way.

Establishment of the Data Protection Workgroup

The INDICATE Data Protection Workgroup has been established. 

The responsibilities and tasks include:

  • Data security and privacy – Oversee the design and implementation of the project’s data management processes, ensuring strong data protection and privacy protocols. 
  • Regulatory compliance – Advise on compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant national or European data protection laws. 
  • Risk assessment – Identify potential data security risks, propose mitigation strategies, and support the development of safe data-sharing infrastructures across European ICUs.

Communication Network established

Within the INDICATE consortium, we have established the Communication Network, a dedicated group that meets every three months for one hour to discuss and coordinate our communication efforts.

During these meetings, we cover:

  • Content planning and dissemination strategies
  • Updates on Work Package (WP) outcomes
  • How to engage with journalists and the media on our topics
  • Key themes from our communication strategy

If you’re involved in INDICATE and would like to contribute to the Communication Network, you can sign up by emailing maaike@indicate-europe.eu.

We will be scheduling the upcoming meetings for Q2, Q3, and Q4 soon. Stay tuned for updates!
