https://abh.scitevents.org
Organised by INSTICC, in conjunction with SECRYPT 2027, QUANTICS 2027, SIMULTECH 2027 and ICSBT 2027.
SCOPE
ABH brings together researchers, clinicians, engineers, regulators and industry practitioners working on the convergence of AI and blockchain in healthcare. The conference focuses on building intelligent, secure and equitable medical systems, with particular emphasis on ethics, governance, quality assurance and validation “by design” rather than as an afterthought. Contributions may be technical, clinical, regulatory, economic or educational.

2. Quality Assurance and Testing
3. Governance by Design
4. Blockchain Ethics by Design
5. AI Ethics by Design
6. Future Applications of Agent AI and Agentic AI in Healthcare
7. Technical Implementation and Engineering
