Innovation and technology for health, beyond AI
Speakers
Madrid – 5/29/2024
The conference, held at the headquarters of the ICAI Association of Engineers Association of Madrid, revolved around two round tables in which views were shared on how technology is revolutionizing the healthcare system.
After the introduction and presentation by Iñigo Sanz, member and professor of ICAI and Business developer manager of Iberospec environmental technologies, the two round tables began.
In the first, focused on technology for health, interesting concepts were presented, such as the fact that technology should be considered as a lever that provides solutions to solve problems, showing that it is impossible for the health system to survive without technology.
It was also explained how, at present, there are already programs capable of detecting cognitive deterioration in a patient by means of a simple telephone call or of detecting melanomas that the human eye is unable to identify.
In this block there was a demo of the Idrus voice assistant system for personalized telephone attention, which demonstrated live how to make an appointment in a hospital using natural language.
The second round table focused on healthcare beyond AI. This round table showed that Artificial Intelligence is going to revolutionize the healthcare system with its new applications..
Emphasis was placed on the need for the technology to become transparent to the user, so that it does not pose a barrier or challenge.
Finally, there was a discussion on how technology can help companies and individuals by reducing, for example, the high rates of absenteeism that are occurring in some territories, such as the Basque Country.
At the end of the day, the thirty or so attendees joined the speakers in a networking space where they enjoyed an aperitif.
