On Monday, May 19, the WARIFA Project successfully hosted a high-level workshop as part of the EFMI MIE 2025 conference in Glasgow, Scotland, bringing together thought leaders, researchers, and digital health innovators to explore the real-world implementation of AI in healthcare.

Titled “Exploring the Benefits, Risks, and Ethical Considerations of AI-Based Medical Devices: Navigating Law, Policy, and Data Access Rights,” the workshop offered a dynamic platform for discussions on the challenges and opportunities surrounding the development, regulation, and adoption of AI-driven medical technologies in Europe.

The event took place in Rooms 6 and 7 of the conference venue and was divided into two engaging sessions:
- Panel 1: From Innovation to Impact – WARIFA and the Future of AI in European Healthcare
- Panel 2: AI-Powered Healthcare in Europe – From Policy to Practice, Market & Reimbursement

Together, these expert speakers shed light on the complex landscape of AI-based medical devices—from innovation and ethical considerations to commercialization pathways and reimbursement frameworks. The discussions highlighted how initiatives like WARIFA are actively contributing to the realization of a European Health Union and shaping the future of digital health policy.
