Session 1: Enhancing health governance with AI: ethics and regulation
AI serves as a catalyst for transforming the governance of health systems. Yet it also poses major challenges. How can we safeguard data? How do we ensure fairness and transparency? Who is in control? Who is accountable? The discussion will center on the ethical and regulatory frameworks that Europe is establishing to govern the use of AI in health, such as the European Health Data Space (EHDS) and the AI Act.

Proximus NXT: The AI-Powered Patient Journey: Humanizing Care Through Technology
Artificial Intelligence has become transformative in healthcare, not only reshaping operational processes but also profoundly redefining patient care itself. This expert panel will illuminate how AI is actively personalizing patient experiences, enhancing clinical decision-making, and ensuring that empathy remains central to healthcare delivery.
Join us for a compelling dialogue that tackles the critical balance between AI-driven efficiency and the essential human touch in patient care. Panellists will share insights on real-world examples of AI in action, from agents that guide patients through their journey and empathize with them, to predictive algorithms that support diagnostics, and AI tools that streamline clinical management.
We will also discuss how to ethically navigate AI adoption, address concerns around data sovereignty, trust, and transparency, and learn practical strategies to facilitate digital transformation in the health sector.
This session will explore how AI is truly humanizing patient care.

Round Table, organized by the INC as part of the “CSA ECHoS” project: Artificial intelligence in the service of cancer: transforming data and research.
This round table will bring together national experts from the health, digital infrastructure, and research sectors to discuss the essential conditions for a successful integration of AI in clinical practice, with a particular focus on the concrete needs of hospitals.
Through a series of targeted contributions, participants will explore the key pillars of this transformation — from the expression of clinical needs, to requirements for interoperability and data infrastructure, to the secondary use of health data within a secure, transparent, and European framework. The round table will also highlight innovative research projects integrating AI that are currently being carried out in Luxembourg, before concluding with concrete examples of how these advances are being reintegrated into clinical practice to create real impact on patient care.
Organised by the National Cancer Institute (INC) as part of the European ECHoS project, this round table aims to shed light on the concrete levers enabling AI to transform oncology care, through the mobilisation of key stakeholders from Luxembourg’s ecosystem.
