AI/IA CDMX hosts a compelling in-person event on February 17, 2026, in Mexico City, spotlighting lightweight AI applications in healthcare designed for low-resource settings. The talk by biomedical engineer Axell Albano Gutiérrez Ramírez focuses on practical AI diagnostic tools that operate on basic hardware, function offline, and learn from limited patient data—contrasting with the trend towards complex, data-heavy models. Attendees will explore how simple, data-efficient AI can outperform deep learning in scenarios with scarce data, constraint-driven design tailored to existing healthcare infrastructure, effective explainability for clinicians, and pathways to integrate AI prototypes into real medical workflows. The event also emphasizes equity, responsibility, and using AI as supportive tools rather than replacements. The session is bilingual, held in Spanish with live English subtitles, and includes a networking segment plus an after-party. Axell brings international research experience and a strong focus on accessible AI innovation, sharing his insights from his master’s thesis and various global conferences. This event is ideal for AI enthusiasts, healthcare professionals, researchers, and anyone interested in practical AI implementations that solve real-world challenges. The format includes a presentation, audience Q&A, networking, and socializing, providing ample opportunity for learning and community building.
