Workshop 10

Challenges of Digitalization within Modern Health Systems (CD-MHS)

Workshop Description:

Modern technologies such as Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are revolutionizing modern health systems, offering transformative potential to enhance patient care, improve clinical decision-making upon automated diagnosis tools, and to augment and improve healthcare operations. Participants will present and discuss various aspects of healthcare, from human-medicine to veterinary medicine and their interconnection with the environment, as stated in the “One Health” paradigm. In fact, for modern health systems, in addition to medical aspects also legal, technical, ethical, and socioeconomic aspects are of relevance, making the topic highly interdisciplinary.

Thus, the topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:

  • Prediction, prevention, and management of future pandemic threats
  • Legal and ethical aspects of digital methods in medicine
  • Medical data visualization
  • Communications system
  • Storing and analyzing medical data
  • Public health surveillance
  • Tele-medicine & Connected Health
  • AI in healthcare
  • Data privacy, algorithmic fairness in digital health

Target Audience:

Healthcare professionals, healthcare administrators, AI researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersection of AI, digital health, eHealth and modern health systems.

Workshop Format:

The workshop will employ a variety of engaging learning methods, including:

  • Expert presentations: Leading experts in AI and healthcare will provide in-depth presentations on various areas of digital health.
  • Interactive discussions: Participants will engage in facilitated discussions to explore the ethical considerations, challenges, and strategies for responsible systems.
