Here's an update I found overnight regarding our business development going on in EU - Looks like we were on the consumer facing panel presenting a demo at this event. I'd love to know who demo'd / presented.
From the article: "The consumer-focused panel also featured three demos of systems that are already in place for different areas, from dermatology (Skinvision) to respiratory diseases (ResApp Health) and cognitive behavioral psychology (IESO Digital Health) . Two well-known specialists in the field and consultants offered their perspective in offering these types of solutions to consumers.
On the one hand, David Champeaux, director of IPSoft, stressed that it is important to calm the expectations of those interested because "it has a great projection and can improve many processes, but AI does not work magic ." In addition, he recommended “to demonstrate the results as soon as possible, even if they are better; this generates an early implementation and encourages the consumer to ask for more tools or solutions ”.
For his part, Dr. Shafi Ahmed, surgeon and medical director of Medical Realities, in the United Kingdom, took up this advice and highlighted that “AI increases the efficiency of routine work, operates consistently without rest, mitigates risks and frees the time of health professionals so that they can focus on human interactions and what systems cannot offer: body contact, emotional restraint and a certain handling of subtleties ”.
Digital solutions "are part of an ecosystem and AI has to be designed within the continuum of other virtual and real life solutions , " Champeaux emphasized. But addressing the new and future challenges from different perspectives is essential to "embark on the path of modernization together with physicians and healthcare professionals as a collaborative initiative," concluded Dr. Ahmed."
Lots of good contacts in attendance:
Mark Davies, medical director of IBM Watson Health
Dr. Mathias Goyen, medical director for Europe at GE Healthcare
Jyrki Katainen, former president of Finland and current director of Sitra
Dr. Petra Wilson, director of Health Connect Partners
Christopher Ross, CIO of the Mayo Clinic in the United States
Piotr Orzechowski, founder and CEO of the company Infermedica, which develops AI platforms applied to diagnosis and triage
