The rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) and foundation models has brought unprecedented opportunities to various specialized domains. The healthcare and industrial sectors, in particular, stand at the forefront of this artificial intelligence revolution. In healthcare, large models are being increasingly applied to electronic health record (EHR) analysis, medical image diagnostics, drug discovery, and intelligent patient interactions, significantly enhancing diagnostic accuracy and operational efficiency. Similarly, in the industrial domain, these models are transforming smart manufacturing, predictive maintenance, supply chain optimization, and industrial robotics, driving the transition towards Industry 4.0. However, deploying large models in these high-stakes and knowledge-intensive domains presents critical challenges, including data privacy, domain adaptation, reliability, interpretability, and the mitigation of "hallucinations." This special session aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to discuss the latest advancements, methodologies, and practical applications of large models in medical and industrial fields.
