International Workshop on
AI in Electrophysiology:
Bridging innovation and clinical practice
Embedded Files
June 26th, 2025 – Pavia, Italy
(Bogoncelli room - Maugeri building)
Overview
Overview
This workshop explores the role of AI in electrophysiology, focusing on diagnostics, patient monitoring, and personalized treatments through machine learning techniques. It will address AI applications such as arrhythmia detection and risk stratification while discussing key adoption challenges, including data limitations, clinical integration, and regulatory concerns. The event aims to bridge the gap between AI's potential and clinical realities by highlighting emerging techniques like explainable AI and multimodal learning to drive innovation in the field.
Format
Format
The workshop will comprise two sessions divided by a 15-minute networking coffee break. Each session will include a keynote and four 15-minutes paper presentations. At the end of the second session, a 20-minute panel discussion will be led by the workshop co-chairs and a 30-minutes general discussion will close the workshop to summarize the main findings, to have presenters to answer any additional questions, and to plan future directions.
