SAIL Annual Conference

The Symposium on Artificial Intelligence for Learning Health Systems (SAIL) is an annual international conference exploring the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques into clinical medicine. SAIL provides a forum for clinicians, clinical informaticians and AI researchers to discuss approaches—and challenges to using these approaches—in the healthcare domain.

SAIL 2023

The next symposium will take place May 9–12, 2023, at the Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve, Río Grande, Puerto Rico.

We invite submissions for abstracts, which will be selected for podium and poster presentations. The top four abstracts will be selected to receive a travel grant of $5,000 USD each from the New England Journal of Medicine. Find complete details on the SAIL website.
