Artificial Intelligence and Robotics for Lung Disease Conference 2027

Explore the future of thoracic medicine at a convergence of artificial intelligence, advanced imaging and robotics.

Join us for a forward-looking conference exploring the rapidly evolving role of AI and robotic technologies in the diagnosis, assessment and treatment of lung cancer.

From AI-powered imaging and earlier detection of lung cancer to robotic bronchoscopy and precision-guided intervention, discover how technology is transforming the way we diagnose and manage patients with thoracic disease.

Course aims

This multidisciplinary course will provide an opportunity to:

• Explore the latest developments in artificial intelligence and robotics across thoracic medicine.
• Understand how AI-enhanced imaging can support earlier and more accurate diagnosis of lung cancer and other lung diseases.
• Gain insight into the expanding role of robotic bronchoscopy in the diagnosis and management of pulmonary lesions.
• Consider how earlier diagnosis, more precise interventions and personalised treatment approaches can improve patient outcomes.
• Share knowledge and experience with colleagues working across the multidisciplinary lung cancer and respiratory teams.

AI-Enhanced Imaging and Earlier Diagnosis

Discover how advances in AI are transforming thoracic imaging, and explore how sophisticated algorithms can facilitate earlier identification of lung cancer. Hear from leading radiologists, and AI scientists about the opportunities, challenges and practical applications of AI in clinical imaging.

Precision and Innovation in Robotic Bronchoscopy

See how the latest robotic bronchoscopy platforms are expanding the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of interventional pulmonology and thoracic surgery. Learn how advanced navigation, localisation and robotic technology can support accurate sampling of peripheral lung lesions, while enabling minimally invasive approaches to diagnosis and intervention.

From Earlier Diagnosis to Better Treatment

Examine how advances in diagnosis are influencing treatment pathways and patient care. Hear from specialists in oncology and thoracic surgery about contemporary approaches to lung cancer management, and explore how earlier detection, accurate staging and increasingly personalised treatment strategies can contribute to better outcomes and quality of life.

Multidisciplinary Collaboration

Connect with colleagues and experts from across radiology, respiratory medicine, thoracic surgery, oncology, pathology and primary care. Discuss challenging cases, share practical experience and explore how multidisciplinary collaboration can help translate technological advances into meaningful improvements in patient care.
