Grifols HQ (Sant Cugat del Vallès)
CATALONIA.HEALTH is organising the Unconference, the annual event for debate and dialogue on the future of health solutions, which aims to promote awareness, perspective and vision of the sector's needs and opportunities, as well as the best way to tackle them. This year's event will be held on 23 October at the Grifols headquarters in Sant Cugat del Vallès and will be focused on artificial intelligence in health.
Embracing Medical AI
In recent years, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine and healthcare has been praised for the great promise it offers but has also been at the centre of heated controversy. Much has been said and discussed how AI can benefit future healthcare, increasing the efficiency of clinicians, improving medical diagnosis and treatment, and optimising the allocation of human and technical resources. The fact is that AI is now a reality in healthcare, and we are learning by doing.
For this reason, it is crucial not to abandon the insights and discussions relating to clarifying the main clinical, social and ethical risks that AI poses to healthcare. More specifically, potential errors and patient harm; risk of bias and increased health inequalities; lack of transparency and trust; and vulnerability to hacking and data privacy breaches.
The goal is to assess the areas in which AI can continue to contribute to the medical and healthcare fields, as well as to identify the most significant risks and/or barriers that it may face. Both to ensure the safety and respect of patients receiving AI-mediated healthcare and to assist developers and clinicians in its implementation.
The Unconference is possible thanks to the institutional support of EIT Health, Grifols ad ACCIÓ.
