About
Clinical AI is entering a new operational phase. Research institutions, healthcare systems, and AI developers are generating increasingly sophisticated models, open-source frameworks, and multimodal workflows with the potential to reshape clinical care. The challenge facing healthcare organizations is no longer access to innovation, but the ability to operationalize it safely, govern it effectively, and sustain it at scale inside real clinical environments.
This webinar brings together Jakob Wasserthal, creator of one of the world’s most widely adopted open-source medical imaging AI tools, alongside leaders from Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, where institution-developed radiotherapy AI models have been translated from research into routine clinical use through a governed deployment and operational framework.
Together, the discussion will explore how leading healthcare organizations are evolving from passive AI buyers into active AI innovators capable of evaluating, adapting, building, deploying, and governing their own clinical AI ecosystems. Attendees will gain practical insight into the infrastructure, governance models, deployment frameworks, and operational strategies emerging inside advanced healthcare institutions as they prepare for increasingly complex, multimodal, and continuously evolving AI workflows.
Agenda
From Open-Source Innovation to Clinical Deployment
How tools like TotalSegmentator, institution-developed AI models, and modern deployment frameworks are enabling healthcare organizations to operationalize research innovation inside real clinical environments.
Building AI That Healthcare Systems Can Actually Sustain
How leading institutions are approaching operational ownership, governance, infrastructure, and workflow integration as AI expands beyond isolated use cases into enterprise-wide clinical operations.
Creating the Conditions for Continuous Clinical AI Innovation
Why leading institutions are investing in shared infrastructure capable of supporting evolving models, multimodal workflows, and institution-driven AI development at enterprise scale.
Speakers
Dr. Jakob Wasserthal is a research scientist in medical image analysis at the Department of Radiology, University Hospital Basel, and the lead developer of TotalSegmentator, an open-source tool for robust automated segmentation of anatomical structures in CT and MR imaging which is being used by thousands of researchers, clinicians and medical device companies around the world.
Dr. Teresa Guerrero Urbano is a Consultant Clinical Oncologist (Head and Neck, Prostate and Non Melanomatous Skin Cancer) and Adjunct Reader at Guy’s and St Thomas NHS Trust and King’s College London. She has a special interest in the evaluation of AI in radiotherapy, prioritising the development of predictive models of toxicity and tumour outcomes that could then be used to further inform treatment adaptation through intensification or de-intensification strategies as well as the clinical translation of AI models into the clinic. Additional research interests and expertise focus on molecular and imaging biomarkers of radioresistance in HNC with the use of functional imaging to guide adaptive radiotherapy (RT) to overcome said radioresistance. She is a recognized national and international expert in the fields of Head and Neck Cancer and applications of AI in radiotherapy (European Society of Therapeutic Radiation Oncology Head and Neck focus group core member and National Institute Clinical Excellence reviewer on the role of AI tools in Radiotherapy). Additional roles include leading Radiotherapy Development for Guy’s and St Thomas NHS Trust, Clinical Lead of the South East London and Kent and Medway Radiotherapy Clinical Network and member of the Radiotherapy National Clinical Reference group. She is actively involved in clinical trials as well as teaching and training, public education and patient and public involvement.
Anil Mistry is the project lead for AI software applications developed by the Clinical Scientific Computing (CSC) team at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust , and is a project manager on the evaluation, installation and deployment of commercial AI software and platforms into routine clinical care. He also leads the regulatory aspects of the CSC, notably on the development of the Quality Management System towards ISO134835 compliance for Safe development of Software as a Medical Device (SaMD).
