Workshop Description Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in healthcare, from supporting diagnosis to helping clinicians monitor patients and make treatment decisions. As these tools become more common, it is important that research reflects the real experiences, needs, and priorities of people living with health conditions. This workshop is designed specifically for people with lived experience who are interested in engaging as patient partners in research. Delivered through a partnership between TRANSFORM HF, the Heart Hub, and T-CAIREM, this interactive session will explore why researchers use AI in healthcare, how these tools are applied, and where patient voices are essential in shaping responsible innovation. Through real-world examples and discussion, participants will hear from Konrad Samsel (AI Researcher) and Todd Murray (Patient Partner) about how AI research projects are developed, and how people with lived experience can meaningfully contribute to them. The session will focus on building confidence to ask questions, identify potential concerns, and help guide research toward outcomes that matter to patients and caregivers. This workshop complements the AI Research in Healthcare session delivered in November 2025, with a stronger focus on real-world applications of AI and the lived experience of engaging in AI research as a patient partner.
