AI is stepping into clinics and surgeries, but it’s not replacing humans anytime soon. From helping dentists spot problems earlier, to improving how healthcare reaches vulnerable patients, technology is reshaping care in surprising ways.

Join us to explore how AI is being used where it matters most: real people, real decisions, and real care. It’s a story of smarter tools, better communication, and why the human touch still makes all the difference.

Teaching Dentists with AI: Smarter Tools for Sharper Minds

Dr. Ali Nankali (Clinical Reader in Digital Dentistry)

Ever wondered if your dentist might be replaced by AI? Not quite — but AI is already helping detect problems earlier, improve decisions, and personalise care. This talk explores how AI is changing real dental practice, what it can and cannot do, and why human judgement still matters.

E-Health Literacy among elderly patients, staff, and carers

Dr. Bin Shafi Eman (Postgraduate Student in Digital Health)

As technology becomes more integrated into the healthcare system, e-health literacy is increasingly important. Elderly patients often struggle to use digital health resources, leading to communication barriers with their healthcare providers.

Age shows a clear negative correlation with e-health literacy. Therefore, it is crucial for promoting digital inclusion and addressing age inequities in health care delivery.
