To accelerate innovation in life sciences, Arcera in collaboration with NYU Abu Dhabi are convening a select group of global and regional leaders for a focused, one-day dialogue on the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare.

CATALYST is not a conference, it is a working forum designed to translate AI ambitions into real-world impact across healthcare systems.

At this private event, we will explore how artificial intelligence can be embedded into healthcare systems in a responsible way to improve:

  • Patient outcomes and experiences
  • Clinical and operational decision-making
  • Population health management
  • System resilience and long-term sustainability

Together, we will examine what it takes to turn AI vision into measurable value.

By joining CATALYST, participants will:

  • Hear global and regional perspectives on the future of AI in life sciences
  • Explore real-world use cases across clinical, operational, and engagement settings
  • Understand the policy, governance, and ethical enablers for responsible AI adoption
  • Engage in peer-level discussions about cross-sector collaboration
  • Help shape a shared agenda for achieving scalable and sustainable AI impact

 

Keynote speakers

Join leaders from Arcera Life Sciences, healthcare institutions, academia, and technology industry to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming patient care, clinical decision-making, population health, and system performance.
