AI & Health Symposium 2026

AI & Health Symposium

Friday, September 11

Join Us!

Our 5th annual AI & Health symposium is coming soon! For this year’s symposium, e-Health & Artificial Intelligence (e-HAIL) is continuing its partnership with Artificial Intelligence & Digital Health Innovation (AI&DHI), with additional support from the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation (IHPI).

Accelerating interdisciplinary collaborations through opportunities for engagement around AI & health research is a major focus of the e-HAIL initiative, and the symposium is set up to maximize learning from and connecting with fellow faculty researchers interested/working in this field. AI&DHI provides data services, computing resources, and expertise in clinical workflow integration at Michigan Medicine (free of charge) to all U-M researchers. Attendees will learn more about all of these services and other U-M AI & health-related resources.

Call for Video Research Showcase Submissions

For PIs: Participate in the Video Research Showcase to present a “problem (real-world healthcare use-case) in search of a solution” or a “solution (new AI/ML techniques) in search of a problem.” You might want to focus on “the problem” if you’re looking for methods/technical collaborators, and on “the solution” if you’re hoping for clinical expertise from collaborators. This is a great way to find (additional) collaborators for your research!

Video presentations will need to be pre-recorded by the presenter and can be no longer than two minutes. If you are interested, please describe the topic and answer some basic questions in the form here.

Space is limited – we will accept proposals on a rolling basis until Friday, July 31, and will notify you of acceptance within three weeks of filling out the form.

Call for Posters

U-M students at any level, as well as U-M postdocs/researchers/faculty, are invited to present at the poster session of the annual AI & Health Symposium. Acceptable submissions include research contributions, work in progress, as well as previously published work. All topics within the broad field of AI and healthcare are welcome.

The poster session will take place on Friday, September 11, during lunch. Poster submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis until Friday, August 21. Decisions will be made within 7 days.

Application Form for Tabletop Discussions

For PIs: Are you interested in facilitating a tabletop discussion about a specific topic area related to AI & Health (90 minutes)? If yes, please describe the topic and answer some basic questions in the form here.

Space is limited – we accept proposals on a rolling basis until Friday, July 31, and will notify you of acceptance within three weeks of filling out the form.
