New Horizons: artificial intelligence and pain conceptualisation

The Conference features two keynote speakers, Professor Paul Hodges and Professor Stacy Carter. Paul is a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Senior Principal Research Fellow, Professor, and Director of the NHMRC Centre for Clinical Research Excellence in Spinal Pain, Injury, and Health at the University of Queensland (UQ). Paul will present his work on new understandings of the conceptualisation of pain and how pain management could be improved by allocating treatments according to pain mechanism descriptors.

 

Stacy is Professor of Empirical Ethics in Health and Founding Director of the Australian Centre for Health Engagement, Evidence and Values (ACHEEV) in the School of Health and Society at the University of Wollongong. Her training is in public health, and her expertise is in applied ethics and social research methods. Her research program sits at the intersection of three crucial issues for health systems: using artificial intelligence, screening and diagnosis, and high-quality consumer and community engagement and participation. Stacy will discuss the role of Artificial Intelligence in healthcare and what matters to consumers.
