The International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, organized by Arabian Gulf University in Manama from November 5 to 7, will explore advanced applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in preventing and predicting cardiovascular disease, supporting the care of patients with diabetes and obesity through continuous monitoring and personalized treatment, and advancing medical imaging technologies to improve diagnostic accuracy.

The conference will bring together leading experts, academics and specialists from the region and around the world to examine the latest innovations and practical applications of intelligent technologies across a wide range of medical fields. Sessions will address the use of AI in emergency departments and intensive care units, intelligent patient triage, early detection of critical conditions, and the personalization of treatment plans, helping accelerate medical response and enhance the quality of healthcare delivery.

Discussions will also address the ethical and regulatory considerations surrounding the use of AI in the healthcare sector, with a particular focus on protecting patient privacy and ensuring the safe, responsible and ethical deployment of emerging technologies.

The conference will further explore the role of AI in advancing nursing, medical education and precision medicine through clinical decision-support systems, remote monitoring applications, and the development of a digitally skilled healthcare workforce capable of keeping pace with the rapid technological transformation. A dedicated session for medical students will also highlight applications of AI in medical education.

The conference will additionally examine genomics and bioinformatics, including biomarker discovery, accelerated drug development and the prediction of treatment responses. Other topics will include strengthening primary and virtual healthcare services and improving the management of chronic diseases beyond the traditional boundaries of healthcare facilities.

The conference will conclude with hands-on workshops focusing on the use of AI to interpret electrocardiograms (ECGs), design clinical research studies and analyze health data. These practical sessions reflect the growing momentum behind the integration of intelligent technologies into healthcare systems, while emphasizing the importance of combining technological innovation with human expertise.

The conference comes amid a rapidly accelerating shift toward integrating AI technologies into healthcare systems. By addressing advanced solutions across key areas—including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, medical education and genomics—the event aims to contribute to improving the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare services.

The organization of the conference reflects the international and pioneering role played by the Arabian Gulf University as a scientific platform that brings together experts, academics, and specialists from across the region and around the world to discuss the rapid transformations taking place in vital fields related to the future of humanity and quality of life. Through such events, the university provides a forum for the exchange of knowledge and expertise and for showcasing the latest trends and innovations in medicine, healthcare, artificial intelligence, genomics, and bioinformatics, as well as medical education and scientific research. These efforts foster multidisciplinary scientific dialogue and support the development of knowledge- and research-based partnerships capable of translating innovation into practical solutions that contribute to advancing healthcare systems and addressing future challenges.
