OPENING PANEL: AI 2.0 IN HEALTHCARE
From Pilots to Practice: Implementing AI in Everyday Clinical Workflows
The first wave of AI in healthcare was defined by experimentation and proof-of-concept pilots. Today, we’re entering a new era — AI 2.0 — where the focus is shifting from isolated innovation to sustainable, integrated clinical tools that enhance outcomes, reduce burden, and scale impact. Source practical tips to:
- Transition from pilot projects to enterprise-scale implementation.
- Align AI development with clinical governance, safety, and usability standards.
- Integrate AI tools into EHRs and care pathways to reduce friction and enhance adoption.
- Overcome pilot fatigue, ensure clinical buy-in, and achieve measurable improvements.
Improve patient care by positioning AI 2.0 not as a future vision, but as a practical engine for change today.

CASE STUDY: DATA PLATFORM
Accelerating Falls Prevention Through Smart Hospital Technology, Unified Communications, and Strong Vendor Accountability
Falls remain one of the most costly and stubborn patient safety issues in healthcare. Smart hospitals now have the opportunity to tackle this challenge with integrated communication ecosystems, advanced alerting, and data-driven workflows—yet success depends as much on vendor alignment and cross-organizational accountability as it does on the technology itself. Walk away with a blueprint for:
- Enhancing vendor collaboration and accountability to ensure technology partners drive the hospital’s safety and quality goals.
- Optimizing smart-hospital communication ecosystems and traditional falls-prevention methods
- Delivering evidence-based results showing how integrated alerting, EMR data, and frontline practice combine to reduce preventable falls and improve patient outcomes over time.
Gain a roadmap for using smart-hospital design and coordinated vendor ecosystems to overcome longstanding safety challenges and advance organizational performance

DEBATE: PRIVACY
Debate Motion: Canada has gone too far in prioritizing privacy over innovation in Healthcare
As Canada accelerates AI adoption in healthcare, a defining question emerges: should innovation come before privacy? With Bill C-27, PHIPA, and HIA reshaping the privacy landscape, healthcare leaders must balance progress with protection.
Advocates for stronger privacy argue that trust is the foundation of transformation — without it, adoption and data quality collapse. Others contend that excessive regulation stifles innovation, delaying AI-driven insights that could save lives.This debate explores how Canada can navigate these tensions through:
- Embedding privacy-by-design in AI and analytics.
- Advancing de-identification, consent, and portability
- Introducing AI transparency and auditability to sustain trust.
Can Canada innovate responsibly — or must privacy always come first?
