The intersection of Machine Learning (ML) and medicine heralds a new era of innovation, promising transformative advancements in diagnostics, personalized treatment plans, and healthcare delivery. In this context, metrology is a central element for confidence and quality of ML results.

This special session aims to be a journey dedicated to exploring the frontiers of machine learning in the medical domain within a metrological framework. Specifically, contributions aim to examine how metrology and artificial intelligence can converge to improve diagnostics, monitoring, and treatment of diseases are encouraged.

Participation in this essential dialogue is welcomed, uniting researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders. Valuable insights into original contributions exploring the opportunities offered by the union of metrology and ML, also considering the challenges and limitations that emerge.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Metrology and Machine Learning for medical applications;
• Machine Learning for Biosignal Analysis and Interpretation;
• Predictive Modelling and Diagnostic Applications in Personalized Medicine;
• Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Biomedical Data;
• Integration of Machine Learning into Clinical Decision Support Systems;
• Patient Outcome Prediction Models;
• ML Applications in Neurodegenerative Disease Research.
