HEALTH TECHNOLOGY ROUNDTABLES
AI REGU HEALTH TECHNOLOGY ROUNDTABLES
AI Regu HealthTech Roundtables bring together health technology companies, experts, and other stakeholders to discuss current topics at the intersection of artificial intelligence and regulation. The Roundtables provide a platform for sharing knowledge, learning from real-world experiences, and collaboratively developing solutions to key challenges in the field.
The series consists of three expert formats designed to address current questions related to AI, health technology, and regulation. Each format serves a distinct purpose: one helps participants stay informed about the latest developments, another deepens understanding through shared experiences, and the third focuses on co-creating solutions to important challenges.

THREE DISTINCT ROUNDTABLE FORMATS,
DESIGNED FOR YOU
The Health Technology Roundtables offer three ways to stay up to date, deepen your understanding, and gain practical insights into the regulation of artificial intelligence and health technologies.
These formats complement one another: you can participate in individual sessions based on your specific interests and needs, or follow the entire series to gain a broader perspective on current developments and key challenges in the field.
Health Technology Roundtables LEARN
Interactive Webinar
When you need a clear overview of a current topic.
The Interactive Webinar combines expert insights with participant discussion. You will gain a concise overview of the topic, hear different perspectives, and have the opportunity to reflect on its relevance to your own work or organisation.
Ideal for you if you want to:
• quickly understand the key issues behind a current topic
• hear expert perspectives without extensive preparation
• gain clarity on how the topic relates to health technology development, regulation, or implementation
Health Technology Roundtables SHARE
Two Perspectives and a Discussion
When you want to learn from real-world experiences and compare different perspectives.
In this format, two different experiences, case examples, or viewpoints serve as the starting point for discussion. Participants have the opportunity to explore how a similar issue may be experienced from different roles, organisational contexts, or stages of development.
Ideal for you if you want to:
• hear practical experiences from the intersection of health technology and regulation
• learn from the successes, challenges, questions, and interpretations of others
• identify what feels familiar, new, or requires further consideration in your own situation.
Participation in this workshop may constitute De minimis aid.
Health Technology Roundtables CO-CREATE
Building Answers to Important Questions Together
When you want to make sense of a complex issue and identify practical ways forward.
This format focuses on collaborative problem-solving. Participants and experts work together to explore a pre-selected topic of high relevance, building a clear and actionable understanding through participant questions, expert insights, and practical examples.
Ideal for you if you want to:
• bring structure to a challenging or unclear topic
• understand the different options, considerations, and implications related to the issue
• leave the discussion with practical takeaways and a concise summary that you can apply in your own work.
Participation in this workshop may constitute De minimis aid.
