The New York Academy of Sciences is proud to present The New Wave of AI in Healthcare 2026.

Artificial intelligence and digital technologies are transforming healthcare at an unprecedented pace—reshaping how we diagnose, treat, and deliver care. From advanced machine learning applications to real-world evidence and patient-facing digital tools, innovation is accelerating rapidly, bringing both extraordinary promise and complex challenges for clinicians, researchers, and regulators.

To spotlight these breakthroughs, the Windreich Department of Artificial Intelligence and Human Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and The New York Academy of Sciences will host a two-day, in-person symposium in New York City The New Wave of AI in Healthcare. 

This premier event will convene leading scientists, clinicians, industry innovators, and policy experts at the intersection of computer science and medicine to share cutting-edge research, explore pressing ethical and regulatory considerations, and build collaborations that shape the future of healthcare. The symposium will not only showcase the latest scientific advances but also foster interdisciplinary dialogue and networking to ensure that AI-driven healthcare innovations are equitable, ethical, and impactful.

Deadline: March 13, 2026
