What is the ROI of AI?
As artificial intelligence continues to gain traction across healthcare, the question of return on investment (ROI) remains a critical yet often overlooked challenge. While hospitals, primary care networks, and pharmaceutical companies increasingly adopt AI-driven tools, many find it difficult to assess whether these technologies are generating meaningful clinical, operational, or financial value beyond the initial promise.
This panel will offer a strategic discussion on how to define, measure, and realise ROI in healthcare AI. Moving beyond simple cost-benefit analysis, our expert speakers will explore broader indicators of success — including improved patient outcomes, workforce productivity, and long-term system sustainability, as well as exploring the real costs behind maintaining artificial intelligence.
Drawing on real-world applications from hospital systems, general practice, and pharmaceutical research & development, the session will highlight evidence-based frameworks, key performance metrics, and governance strategies that support scalable, high-impact AI deployment. Our speakers include leaders from across the healthcare ecosystem — providing a comprehensive, cross-sector perspective on delivering value through AI.

This conference is ideal for professionals working in procurement who want to learn real strategies, to optimise efficiency and sustainability within their own organisation. It will also be incredible opportunity for innovators and clinicians looking to gain insider knowledge on healthcare procurement from seasoned veterans.
With VR and AR atttracting renewed investment, this technology is likely to improve considerably and become more accessible over the next 10 years. AR has potential uses in providing immediate feedback to patients and clinicians as part of a therapeutic experience.
Mental Health Innovations: Our 24/7 text messaging support service Shout 85258 has been there round the clock to support increasing numbers of texters in moments of immediate need. In fact the number of daily conversations taken by Shout Volunteers has tripled since March 2019.

Brain imaging: a ground-breaking technology that has greatly enriched our knowledge of the brain. One important emerging application of brain imaging for mental health is the use within precision psychiatry where it is used to generate biomarkers that could predict which treatment options an individual might respond best to.
