CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
================================================================================

The ABH 2026 conference explores the transformative convergence of Artificial
Intelligence and Blockchain technologies in healthcare and related applications.
As healthcare systems worldwide embrace digital transformation, this conference
provides a premier forum for researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to
share innovations, address challenges, and shape the future of intelligent,
secure, and equitable medical systems.

Registration to ABH allows free access to the SIMULTECH, ICSBT and SENSORNETS
conferences (as a non-speaker). The conference supports hybrid participation,
allowing speakers to present remotely if unable to travel to the venue.
