Organiser: Mobilizing Computable Biomedical Knowledge (MCBK)
About the Event
The 2026 Mobilizing Computable Biomedical Knowledge (MCBK) Global Meeting: Australia, New Zealand, and Asia brought together international researchers, healthcare professionals, informatics specialists, and digital health experts to exchange scientific knowledge and explore advances in computable biomedical knowledge and its applications in healthcare.
The regional session focused on the integration of biomedical knowledge, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital health technologies to improve healthcare delivery, clinical decision-making, and health system performance.
I participated in this international scientific meeting as an online attendee and research co-author. Together with my co-author, I submitted a research abstract for presentation at the meeting. In accordance with the organising committee’s requirements, all oral presentations were delivered through prerecorded videos. Our presentation was prepared and recorded by my co-author, who was unable to attend the live session. During the meeting, I attended the presentation session and represented our research team by responding to audience questions during the question-and-answer (Q&A) session.
The meeting featured discussions on the design and evaluation of clinician-AI interfaces, digital health workforce development, and the challenges of translating technological investments into sustainable improvements in healthcare services. These discussions highlighted the importance of human-centred design, workforce readiness, and evidence-informed approaches to digital health transformation.
The event also emphasised international collaboration and the development of biomedical knowledge that is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR), supporting more effective knowledge sharing, clinical decision support, and sustainable improvements in healthcare systems.
