AI has moved from the sidelines to the centre of healthcare. 👩‍⚕️ Our new report, AI Trends for Healthcare 2026, reveals how AI has rapidly shifted from a behind-the-scenes technology to a central force shaping Australia’s healthcare system, improving patient care and easing pressure for clinicians. In one case study, AI is being used to generate synthetic CT scans from MRI images, helping clinicians plan more accurate radiotherapy treatment and reducing patients’ exposure to radiation. The report identifies key challenges that must be addressed to ensure AI technologies are safe and effective at scale including regulation, quality management, data governance and digital health interoperability. It provides practical exemplars for researchers, policymakers and industry leaders seeking to understand what comes next and how Australia can realise the full benefits of AI-enabled healthcare.
