25th EFORT annual Congress

Collaborating for Success

EFORT, the European Federation of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, stands as the power of collaboration. It was born from the idea that surgeons, divided by nationality and subspecialty, could unite under a common purpose – to restore and secure mobility, musculoskeletal health and quality of life for the good of our patients.

Evolved from education and dissemination of research, a key role of EFORT is now the promotion of better patient care and build a protective shield, safeguarding both patients and surgeons from adverse external forces.

In a world where healthcare is often subject to political, economic, and regulatory pressures, let's work tirelessly to ensure that the best interests of patients and healthcare providers are upheld.

By submitting your abstract you help build a foundation for collaboration, allowing healthcare professionals to learn from each other's experiences.

Submit your abstract before 15 November 2023

for the EFORT annual Congress in Hamburg, Germany from 22 to 24 May 2024!

CORE-MD

Artifical Intelligence in Health: recommendation for clinical evaluation

Artificial intelligence holds a lot of promises but also a lot of challenges when implemented in healthcare. In the regulatory field, AI is very novel and new rules are needed to accomodate those new advances.

Artifical Intelligence in Health: recommendation for clinical evaluation

CORE-MD is therefore analysing from a legal, ethical and regulatory perspective the regulation of AI in medical devices to provide evidence-based recommandation as to when and how to use AI in healthcare setting

CORE-MD is a European Union Horizon 2020 project. It reviews methods for evaluating high-risk medical devices in order to translate expert evidence into advice for EU regulators and to recommend an appropriate balance between innovation, safety , and clinical effectiveness.
