Our first plenary session looks at how artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting health care, bringing benefits to both the procedures and outputs of medical practice. You learn about the opportunities and challenges of AI implementation for clinicians and researchers. Our second plenary session looks at strategies to address the ergonomic situations that lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSD).
