AI & Tech: Taking Healthcare and Medical Education Further

Description:

Imagine a mother arriving at an ER in the Amazon, her child exhibiting severe changes in vital signs. A newly graduated doctor suspects food poisoning. With no internet, books or colleagues available, she turns to an offline clinical decision support app on her phone and finds a treatment plan, successfully saving the child's life.
In vast countries, physicians often face complex cases without specialist support. Tech & AI support can address this. This session explores AI & simulation in medical education and point-of-care decision support, offering insights from academia and daily practice.
