AI and Xenotransplantation: Can Emerging Technologies Disrupt Access to Kidney Transplantation?

2 Apr 2027 14:00 15:30
Plenary Theatre

Two technologies are talked about as ways to break open the transplant bottleneck: xenotransplantation and artificial intelligence. Are they real answers to the access gap, or a distraction from proven levers? This session weighs pig-organ xenotransplantation against the realities of cost, regulation and equity; asks what AI can actually do for donor-recipient matching, allocation and post-transplant monitoring; and sets both against living-donor programme models that have already widened access. You'll leave able to judge which of these your own system should invest in.
