Scientific Programme

ESC Digital & AI Summit 2026, Basel, 12-13 November

Sessions shaped by the community leading digital transformation in cardiovascular care

Where data, technology, and clinical practice connect

 
With a strong emphasis on multidisciplinary collaboration, the Summit brings together cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, allied professionals, data scientists, engineers, and digital health innovators.
 
Through case‑based discussions, live demonstrations, and interactive formats, you will examine what it takes to scale AI responsibly across diverse clinical environments – without compromising trust, safety or accountability.
 
By the end of the Summit, you will leave with a clearer picture of which digital and AI solutions are ready for practice, which require further validation, and where the most compelling opportunities for co‑creation lie in the coming years.
 
 

A focused programme built for those who turn AI concepts into clinical reality

The programme is crafted for participants who want to move far beyond high‑level concepts and dive into the technical and methodological foundations of digital health and AI in cardiology. 

Expect in‑depth sessions on data pipelines, model development, validation strategies, and implementation science — all anchored in the clinical questions that truly drive cardiovascular practice.

From advanced imaging analytics and predictive modelling to robotics, decision‑support tools, and workflow automation, the programme showcases emerging technologies alongside real‑world deployments.

Faculty will explore how to design transparent, explainable systems, how to address bias and data quality, and how to ensure that AI tools align with regulatory expectations and professional standards.
