Background

Health research and innovation stand as cornerstones in enhancing our approach to patient care, continuously pushing the boundaries of treatment and diagnosis. Among the myriad advancements, digital technology, particularly artificial intelligence, emerges as a pivotal force revolutionizing medical data analysis. Concurrently, breakthroughs in biomarkers, gene editing, and cell therapy propel research endeavors from laboratory settings to tangible applications at the patient's bedside. Complementing these scientific strides, the formulation and implementation of health policies play an indispensable role in shaping the landscape of healthcare systems.

In recognition of these vital facets, the Faculty of Medicine, Prince of Songkla University proudly announces the forthcoming Annual Health Research International Conference 2024 (AHR-iCON 2024). This year's conference will be held under the theme "Health Research and Innovation for Future and Mankind," aimed at fostering connections among stakeholders and disseminating the latest advancements in health research and innovation to both the academic community and the public.

AHR-iCON 2024 will feature a diverse array of presentations, and discussions, providing a platform for researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and students to exchange insights and collaborate on addressing pressing healthcare challenges. Notably, in recognition of the critical role played by the next generation of medical professionals, there is a special session that is dedicated to medical students. This initiative not only offers them a platform to present their research work but also serves as a stepping stone towards becoming accomplished research-focused medical practitioners.

Through AHR-iCON 2024, we aspire to catalyze interdisciplinary collaborations, foster innovation, and ultimately contribute to the advancement of healthcare for future and mankind. By harnessing the collective expertise and enthusiasm of participants, we endeavor to chart a course towards a future where health research and innovation serve as pillars of progress and wellbeing. Join us in this endeavor as we embark on a journey to shape the future of healthcare together.
