Artificial Intelligence (AI) in ENT (Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery) Australia, 2023

Welcome to the first International congress on

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in

Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery (ENT)

In our packed one-day program we will explore the technical aspects of healthcare AI in Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery (ENT) and discover cutting-edge real-world clinical applications. Our Faculty consists of leading innovators whose knowledge and insights will appeal to experienced researchers, novices entering the field, and interested observers alike.

The conference will be held at the Translational Research Institute in Brisbane.

The event will take place in conjunction with Asia-Oceania ORL, Brisbane, 2023. (Please note that attendance at AO-ORL is not a requirement for AMSAH ENT attendees - eg computer scientists/ data analysts).

We look forward to the pleasure of your company in Brisbane, Queensland on March 9, 2023.
