The role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in preventing heart disease, improving diabetes and obesity care and advancing emergency and intensive care units will be among the key topics discussed at a conference set to take place in Bahrain later this year.
The Arabian Gulf University Conference on AI Applications in Healthcare, scheduled from November 5 to 7 in Manama, will bring together experts, academics and specialists from across the region and around the world.
The programme will feature a number of advanced scientific sessions focusing on the use of AI in predicting and preventing heart disease, supporting patients with diabetes and obesity through continuous monitoring and personalised treatment, and enhancing the accuracy of diagnostic imaging technologies.
“Specialised sessions will explore the applications of artificial intelligence in emergency and intensive care units, including intelligent patient triage, early detection of critical conditions, and the customisation of treatment plans to enhance the efficiency of medical response and the quality of healthcare,” said Academic Affairs and Scientific Research vice-president Dr Ghazi Al Otaibi.
The conference will also address the ethical and regulatory aspects of AI in healthcare, with a focus on protecting patient privacy and ensuring the responsible and safe use of modern technologies.
Discussions will further examine AI’s role in advancing nursing, medical education, and precision medicine through clinical decision support, and remote monitoring tools.
A dedicated student session will explore AI applications in medical education, including genomics and bioinformatics. Topics will cover biomarkers, the acceleration of drug development, prediction of treatment response and improving primary and virtual care, as well as enhancing the management of chronic diseases beyond traditional healthcare settings.
The conference will conclude with practical workshops on the use of AI in interpreting electrocardiograms, clinical research design and health data analysis.
