3rd Edition: AI/ML-Based Medical Image Processing and Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in medical image processing and analysis is becoming increasingly important due to advances in image processing and analysis technology for the automated recommendation of medical diagnoses. Medical professionals and institutions could benefit from machine learning (ML)- and artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled medical devices, as they could ease the workload of professional medical personnel, increase the accuracy of diagnoses, and enable early diagnosis and intervention. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has already approved many AI/ML-enabled medical devices, which are listed at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/software-medical-device-samd/artificial-intelligence-and-machine-learning-aiml-enabled-medical-devices. Researchers are encouraged to continue conducting studies in this field and establishing patentable methods and devices for use in medical institutions.

The International Conference on Advancement in Healthcare Technology and Biomedical Engineering (AHTBE 25) will be held in Vancouver, BC, Canada, on August 28–30, 2025. The conference aims to connect leading experts to discuss the latest innovations, challenges, and future directions in healthcare technology and biomedical engineering. The conference will provide a platform for the dissemination of cutting-edge research, fostering collaboration among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from around the globe.

More information can be found on the conference website: https://ahtbe.ca/.
