AN OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT DECADE IN
AI, MACHINE LEARNING & HEALTH

The AI in Health Conference bridges the gap between artificial intelligence and real-world health outcomes — focusing not just on what AI can do, but on what it should do to improve patient care.


Hosted by the Ken Kennedy Institute at Rice University, the fourth annual AI in Health Conference will explore the current landscape of artificial intelligence in health and present a research-driven outlook for the future of computational health innovation, highlighting advancements in (1) Robotics and Healthcare, (2) AI for Modern Therapeutics, and (3) AI for Clinical Research. The program is designed to connect researchers and innovators with engineers, clinicians, and entrepreneurs at the forefront of AI in healthcare and public health.

The conference will take place in Houston, home of the largest medical center in the world — the Texas Medical Center — which hosts 60+ member institutions that are visited by 10 million patients each year.

Sign up for our newsletter to get updates on the 2025 conference, featuring invited speakers, a technical talk program, an exhibit hall, networking receptions, poster presentations, and add-on workshops.
