CHAIR
SCOPE
This special session invites solicited papers on trustworthy, privacy-preserving, AI methods for predictive healthcare, with a focus on clinical outcome prediction and patient empowerment. Building on the EU project TRUSTroke, the session aims to bring together researchers, clinicians, and policymakers to explore innovations in AI, federated and distributed learning, data governance, ethical AI, and clinical validation frameworks. Topics include Federated Learning (FL) for health data (i.e., personalized, multimodal, trustworthy), explainable AI in clinical decision support, semantic interoperability, and human-centric digital health design. The goal is to define a EU research roadmap for transparent, scalable, and clinically validated AI systems supporting patient recovery and disease prevention.
