Digital Health under NATHEALTH envisages a robust medical tech infrastructure and optimal use of digital solutions for improved healthcare delivery. Electronic medical record (EMR), health information system (HIS) and interoperability for secure data sharing and access must be extensively scaled to accelerate #digitization in #healthcare.  Health IDs, disease repository, analytics, skilling, and education expansion can significantly augment both operational efficiency and patient outcomes. Access expansion through virtual care and discovery platform and integrated care enablement and coordination will be the other key drivers of the #DigitalHealth endeavour.

At the end of 2023, the European Commission launched the "Virtual Human Twins" (VHT) initiative. This initiative aims to create digital replicas of humans to support research and development. Such virtual twins could be used, for example, to design personalized medical treatments and test the effects of medications without endangering real people or animals. In the long term, this could lead to significant advancements in precision medicine and improve the efficiency of clinical trials. https://lnkd.in/eRAdnpsH

💡 What role can AI play in the hospital? 🏥 🚀 HLTH Europe debuts tomorrow - the major health event in Amsterdam bringing together the entire European health ecosystem to reimagine the health systems of the future! 🌎 🏥🤖 AI-enabled hospitals are on the horizon – and we’re looking forward to these talks exploring the many possibilities of machine learning and digital innovations in the hospital space:; 💬ChatGPT in the hospital: Helping hand or unhelpful hindrance? 📅 June 18, 9:00am 💬Keynote: AI meets hospital  📅 June 18 at 5:20pm 💬And of course, we’ll be there to catch our CEO and co-founder Andreas Cleve participate in an exciting discussion on hospitals of the future - catch it on Aroma Stage 📅 19 June at 9:50am! Ahead of these talks, here’s a few ways smart hospitals will leverage – and already are leveraging – machine learning and digital healthcare innovation to deliver better outcomes for hospital patients and staff; 🌟 Using machine learning to more accurately predict care needs, helping emergency dispatchers to get critical patients through hospital doors faster. Last year, we collaborated on a study that found AI can detect subtle signs of stroke missed by human operators, leading to faster hospitalization. And we’re partnering with EMRS worldwide to help them optimize their diagnostic and treatment decisions with our technology (🔗 1). 🌟 Making life easier for clinicians to access everything they need to know about a patient and their care needs in a single click – instead of navigating multiple systems, technology can help centralize patient data in a single platform. 🌟 AI algorithms are being used to identify patterns in health screenings, supporting human clinicians with a second set of eyes to help detect disease in x-rays, CT scans and other images. By flagging images, AI can help prioritize patients with potential problems and ensure their scans are reviewed faster by healthcare experts. 🌟 AI can help hospitals with smarter scheduling, predicting how long procedures may take and alerting clinicians when follow-up tests and consultations are due. This means less waiting time for patients, less stress for clinicians – and fewer follow-ups falling through the cracks. 🏥 Excited to explore the hospitals of the future in Amsterdam tomorrow? Here’s the full HLTH Europe agenda – let us know if you’re coming!

EU AI Act: What It Means for Software Testing Standards As the EU AI Act comes into force on August 2nd, it's crucial to understand its impact on software testing standards. This legislation emphasises rigorous testing and monitoring, especially for high-risk AI applications. Highlights: ➡ Regular testing for accuracy, reliability, and security is mandatory for high-risk AI systems. ➡ Human oversight is required during design, testing, and the use of AI outputs. ➡ Comprehensive testing must cover functional, performance, security, and stress aspects, including validation of AI algorithms for bias and fairness. At Assured Thought, we specialise in Quality Engineering and software testing services. We're ready to help you meet these new standards and ensure your AI systems are robust, transparent, and compliant. #SoftwareTesting #AI #QualityEngineering #Compliance #AssuredThought

No. 7 Trend of AIoT Digital Health 2024 AI's application in digital health at home, the following trends worth noting: Integration of smart home and health: • Environmental monitoring and regulation The smart home system is combined with health monitoring equipment to monitor factors such as temperature, humidity, and air quality in the home environment in real time, and automatically adjust according to the health needs of family members. For example, when the indoor air quality is detected to be poor, the air purifier is automatically started; When the indoor temperature is too high or too low, the air conditioning temperature is automatically adjusted to create a comfortable and healthy living environment for family members. • Living habits Smart home devices can help family members develop good living habits through interaction with them. For example, the smart lighting system can automatically adjust the light according to the work and rest time of family members to remind them to rest on time; Smart water valves can record the drinking water situation of family members and remind them to replenish water in time.
