His talk will be invaluable to the growing community of innovators looking to leverage AI to solve pressing healthcare challenges.

The Role of AI in Breast Cancer Diagnosis

Breast cancer remains the most common malignant tumor in women worldwide, responsible for over 670,000 deaths annually. The need for early and accurate diagnosis has never been more pressing. National breast cancer screening programs have already demonstrated the power of early detection, yet the sheer volume of images needing analysis continues to rise. AI has proven to be a game-changer in tackling this challenge. By enabling faster and more accurate diagnostic decisions, AI can help radiologists work more efficiently, reduce human error, and ultimately save lives.

This is why the most impactful topics of discussion at the conference will be the innovative use of AI in breast cancer diagnostics. All stakeholders have been encouraging AI solutions that improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce the burden on healthcare systems. As part of the event, attendees will hear from the top teams of the AI4Health.Cro Innovation Competition, who have been developing AI-based applications to enhance mammography readings

Onco:Innovate provides support for best teams with solutions on AI & Breast Cancer

At the conference in Zagreb, the best teams of the AI4Health.Cro Innovation Competition will present their AI-driven solutions to problems such as classifying breast lesions, marking suspicious areas on mammograms, and creating user-friendly interfaces for doctors. These solutions are aimed at relieving the burden on radiologists, optimizing resources, and providing better care for patients. It’s truly an exciting time for AI in healthcare, and these teams represent the future of diagnostic technologies that will directly impact patient outcomes.

As one of the rewards, Onco.Innovate will invite selected teams to take part and to present their solutions at the Onco:Innovate conference in Vienna 2025.
