European Committee of the Regions’ Interregional Group on Health and Well-being

Exploring the uptake of Artificial Intelligence in regional healthcare systems

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly reshaping the landscape of healthcare across the globe, and Europe is no exception. From accelerating the speed and accuracy of diagnostics to enabling more personalised and precise treatment pathways, AI technologies are proving critical in enhancing patient outcomes and reducing clinical burden. Additionally, AI is being deployed to streamline hospital operations, optimise resource allocation, and bolster public health responses through advanced surveillance and predictive modelling.

However, the pace and extent of AI adoption across European regions remain uneven. This disparity stems from a combination of factors, including differences in digital infrastructure, levels of investment in innovation, workforce preparedness, regulatory frameworks and the broader maturity of health data ecosystems. While some regions are emerging as frontrunners in AI-driven healthcare innovation, others face systemic barriers that hinder meaningful implementation.

This event will serve as a platform to assess the current state of regional AI uptake in healthcare, with a focus on surfacing good practices, scalable solutions and success stories that can inform broader policy efforts. By bringing together policymakers, healthcare professionals, researchers and industry stakeholders, the event aims to foster dialogue around shared challenges, support knowledge exchange and identify actionable opportunities for cross-border collaboration, capacity-building and policy harmonisation.
