Topic : Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Telemedicine

Context: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are transforming healthcare by providing innovative solutions for diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and patient management. In telemedicine, AI and ML technologies enhance remote healthcare delivery, allowing for faster decision-making, personalized care, and better resource utilization. However, the integration of AI and ML into telemedicine is still in its early stages, particularly in low-resource settings. To maximize the benefits of these technologies, healthcare policymakers, professionals, and technologists must understand their potential, current applications, and future directions. Objectives: This webinar aims to explore the role of AI and ML in telemedicine, focusing on their application in remote diagnostics, patient management, predictive analytics, and decision support systems. The session will bring together leading AI/ML experts, telemedicine practitioners, and policymakers to discuss how these technologies can be leveraged to improve healthcare access, quality, and outcomes in Southeast Asia and beyond.
