For people living with rare diseases, receiving an accurate diagnosis can take years. Could AI help shorten that journey?

At the 2026 Health & Life Sciences Showcase, our panel, “AI and the Search for Rare Disease: A Cross-Sector Pilot in Alberta,” powered by Boehringer Ingelheim, will bring together representatives from industry, clinical practice, and Acute Care Alberta.

Panelists will share how one of Alberta’s most comprehensive AI-driven screens of Connect Care records is using existing health data to help identify undiagnosed patients. They’ll also explore the challenges of working with real-world data and the collaboration required to turn innovation into better patient outcomes.

Join us in Calgary on Sept. 24th.
