Conference Theme

Artificial Intelligence & the Future of Quality of Life Research

Scientists worldwide are excited and concerned about the transformation of research with increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI). Given ISOQOL’s vision to improve quality of life for people everywhere by creating a future in which their perspective is integral, as well as our mission to advance the science of quality of life research, this year’s conference will focus on quality of life research in the context of artificial intelligence. Plenary sessions will focus on the theory, methods, and application of AI in quality of life research, along with cutting edge research.

Plenary Sessions

The Promise & Pitfalls of Artificial Intelligence
What is artificial intelligence, and what does it mean for quality of life research? This session will establish a foundational understanding of AI concepts and terminology and introduce the intersection of AI and quality of life research. It will include attention to broad ethical and theoretical considerations as well as a patient perspective. Benefits and challenges of employing AI in quality of life research will be explored.

Cutting Edge Research
The Cutting Edge Research plenary session features some of the highest-ranked, innovative research from ISOQOL abstract submissions. In particular, these abstracts reflect research that truly “pushes the ISOQOL envelope” in providing new and different ways to look at quality of life.

Tools of Transformation: Advancing Quality of Life Research with AI
The methods we use to develop, validate, and analyze patient-reported outcome measures will evolve with the increasing use of artificial intelligence. This session will present the most promising AI tools and methodologies for quality of life researchers. The ways in which artificial intelligence will complement and advance the field of quality of life research will be explored, and case studies will provide insights into how AI is already being used to enhance quality of life research.

Breaking Tradition: Disrupting Quality of Life Research with AI
Artificial intelligence is poised to revolutionize how the patient experience is captured and interpreted in clinical research and in clinical practice. This session will examine how AI-driven approaches might redefine, or even replace, traditional methods in patient-centered outcomes research. Speakers will explore the disruptive potential of AI, focusing on emerging innovations and their implications for the field of quality of life research.
