The Room: AI in Health
On September 17th 2025, a selected circle of senior leaders in health and AI gathered in The Room for our inaugural event.Overseen by Master of Ceremonies Professor Shafi Ahmed, the attendees were encouraged to shape their discussions around the barriers to AI adoption in their respective medical domains.The format and curated environment was extremely well received, and facilitated depth of connection and the formation of new relationships.Attendees emerged uplifted intellectually and spiritually, with a sharpened understanding of some of the bottlenecks that remain to AI adoption. These included cultural resistance, inadequate training practices and an excessive focus on force-fitting AI solutions where they were not needed.The Room: AI in Health was proudly supported by Skin Analytics.
