AI is becoming increasingly important in health research, which is why the U Bremen Research Alliance established the Bremen Symposium ‘AI in Health’. This year, the symposium will take place on 27 November 2025. How can artificial intelligence create added value along the entire care chain – from prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment to rehabilitation and care? What opportunities and risks does its use in healthcare entail, and what potential does AI have for sustainable and resilient healthcare? Experts from science, technology and medicine will address these questions and discuss sustainable and resilient solutions to the challenges facing the healthcare sector.
Session chairs include Prof. Benjamin Schüz and Prof. Karin Wolf-Ostermann, co-spokesperson for the Health Sciences research focus at the University of Bremen – both members of the IPP. Dr. Kathrin Seibert, also from the IPP, will make a further contribution.
Prof. Dr Benjamin Schüz, Professor of Public Health with a focus on health promotion and prevention at the University of Bremen, will chair the session ‘From Prevention to Screening’ together with Prof. Dr Marvin Wright. This session is dedicated to the use of artificial intelligence in health research – from prevention to screening. The focus is on the possibilities and limitations of AI-supported methods for risk assessment and early detection of diseases, as well as their integration into research and practice.
Prof. Dr. Karin Wolf-Ostermann, together with Prof. Dr. Andreas Hein, will first lead three selected presentations on projects from the BMFTR funding line ‘Making repositories and AI systems usable in everyday nursing care,’ ranging from the AI readiness of institutions to the use of a hybrid voice assistant in care documentation and the reliable determination of wound types using AI. This will be followed by a panel discussion with representatives from science, nursing practice and technology development, in which the topic will be explored in greater depth.
At the evening event ‘Biosignals meet Health & Care’, Prof. Dr. Karin Wolf-Ostermann will then discuss the opportunities and risks of using biosignals and AI in healthcare in detail with other experts from science and practice.
The AI Centre for Health Care is funded by the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen.
