AI and Health: Discussing The New Perimeter of Decision-Making in Rome

On April 15, 2026, the event “AI and Health: The New Perimeter of Decision-Making” took place in Rome. Organized by Aindo, the summit provided a unique occasion for experts from institutions, the private sector, and academia to confront two fundamental dimensions defining the future of digital health.

The first dimension is regulatory decision-making. As AI and synthetic data increasingly enter evidence generation workflows, the priority remains ensuring high quality, methodological validity, and their integration into HTA (Health Technology Assessment) and market access frameworks.

The second dimension is governance. While health data is abundant, it is often fragmented and siloed. Unlocking its full value requires precise, standardized conditions regarding access and infrastructure.

Key points that emerged with great force from the discussion included:

• The urgent need for shared standards and transparency across all processes.
• The central role of data quality.
• The importance of building trust between actors and regulators.
• The value of cross-sector collaborations between the public sector, research, and industry.

This is a change already in motion. Bridging the gap between technological potential and practical application requires a collective awareness and, above all, the implementation of concrete, coordinated actions.
