About IndiSetu Curtain Raiser

IndiSetu Curtain Raiser 2026 – AI in Healthcare Summit will be held in July 2026 at St. Xavier’s University, Kolkata. The event is situated within a period of significant structural change in healthcare, where Artificial Intelligence is increasingly embedded in care delivery, shaping diagnosis, risk prediction, treatment planning, system efficiency, and population health. Its influence is real and operational, establishing AI as a defining force in contemporary healthcare rather than a future possibility.

As algorithms begin to influence clinical judgement and data-driven decision-making, the integration of AI demands careful scrutiny alongside enthusiasm. Concerns surrounding ethics, bias, accountability, and human oversight have become unavoidable. The IndiSetu Curtain Raiser 2026 is conceived as a rigorous academic space where these questions are examined through evidence-based discussion, critical inquiry, and structured dialogue.

Guided by the theme “AI’s Role in Healthcare: An Urgent Conversation,” the event reflects the responsibility of universities to foster informed engagement with emerging technologies. It brings together students, researchers, and policymakers to engage with Artificial Intelligence not as a tool to be adopted blindly, but as a system to be understood, questioned, and responsibly shaped. Designed as an expert-led and student-centered forum, the programme balances expertise, research, dialogue, and debate through keynote insights, student paper presentations, panel discussions, and inter-college debate, encouraging rigorous thinking and ethical judgement.

The IndiSetu Curtain Raiser 2026 invites collaboration to collectively shape the future of healthcare through responsible engagement with Artificial Intelligence.
