AWS GenAI for Health Summit 2025

About the summit

The AWS GenAI for Health Summit brought healthcare executives, AI pioneers, and research and policy leaders to the Champalimaud Foundation in Lisbon for a full day on generative AI in healthcare — keynotes, live demonstrations, real-world use cases and hands-on sessions with early adopters.

The audience spanned healthcare technology executives, hospital leadership, insurance industry leaders, ministry of health representatives and academic medical centre leadership across EMEA.

Sessions covered foundation models in healthcare, genomics and precision medicine, medical imaging, ambient listening and automated report generation — grounded in deployments already running in production rather than prospective demos.
