Why This Matters Now
 

• 2026 marks a turning point: healthcare organisations are increasingly accepting the business case for AI adoption, driven by pressure to improve efficiency, reduce clinician burden, and deliver better patient outcomes.

• Generative AI, clinical-documentation automation, and AI-assisted diagnostics are among the fastest-growing trends this year, offering promise in reducing administrative burden, reducing diagnostic delays, and improving care delivery.

• There is growing demand for ethical, responsible, data-governed AI in healthcare, ensuring fairness, transparency, privacy and trust.

• As health systems face workforce pressures, rising demand and cost constraints, AI offers a realistic route to scale, efficiency, and innovation-driven growth, if developed collaboratively, responsibly, and with industry alignment.

• Developing the next generation of leaders who are fluent in both AI and biomedicine is critical to meet the evolving needs of the healthcare sector.
