Artificial intelligence and the future of sustainability
Under the theme "Technological Transformation for a Sustainable Healthcare Future," this year's forum sessions focus heavily on leveraging artificial intelligence and big data analytics in healthcare development. This approach aims to enhance facility efficiency, reduce operational waste, and promote environmental sustainability in healthcare buildings. Participants, including healthcare leaders, engineers, and planners, will discuss the latest innovations that contribute to creating a sophisticated and safe healthcare environment for patients.
