The Future Is Now: Artificial Intelligence and Big Data in Pediatric Nephrology
October 23, 2026 | 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Location: Mile High Ballroom 4A, Convention Center
Session Description
Artificial intelligence (AI) and large-scale data resources are increasingly shaping pediatric nephrology research, offering new opportunities to study rare diseases, predict outcomes, and personalize care. This session introduces current pediatric nephrology studies that leverage AI and big data; reviews common data sources and analytic approaches; and critically examines the benefits, limitations, and ethical considerations of these methods. Emphasis is placed on responsible interpretation and meaningful clinical translation.
