The 2023 Synthetic Data Summit was co-hosted by Replica Analytics, an Aetion company, and the University of Ottawa in London, UK on November 30.
Synthetic data generation promises to solve many difficult challenges in healthcare, from a broad spectrum of privacy challenges to enabling powerful simulations to be performed. The 2023 summit brought new developments and experiences in the area of synthetic data generation (SDG) together to provide a comprehensive perspective on what SDG is and what technologies have been found to work in practice, how it has been applied to solve healthcare challenges, how it is and should be regulated, and what the future holds / expected developments moving forward.
The London Summit included 6 engaging and informative sessions with Opening Remarks given by Khaled El Emam, Canada Research Chair in Medical AI at the University of Ottawa and Closing Remarks by Dorothee Bartels, Chief Digital Officer at Aetion.
