Health data in research and diagnostics

Panel discussion: AI in medicine

  • Tuesday, 6/4/2024
  • 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Event location
Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities

Public event

Measuring our health has never been so easy: wearables, smartwatches and apps as well as extensive measurements in hospitals provide vast amounts of data, much of which remains unused even though it could improve our healthcare. Artificial intelligence (AI) can identify clinical pictures, refine diagnoses, monitor the effectiveness of medication and suggest personalized therapies. However, its use is met with scepticism. Without the patient's consent, any further use of personal health data is ruled out, even for research purposes.

At a panel discussion, experts will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of using health data with the help of AI.
