ABSTRACT:

COVID-19 has once more highlighted how pandemics are a major threat to the resilience of our healthcare systems. With the aging population (it is estimated that elder citizens are 3 to 5 times more in need of healthcare services than adults), we expect an increased pressure over clinic and hospital resources, which will result in higher costs and worse outcomes for the patients. In this scenario,artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in making our healthcare systems scale in a more efficient and effective manner, moving care towards prevention,early diagnosis and tailored treatments. Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing, in particular, promise to be key technologies in moving expert efforts toward the patient interaction and in generating population- and individual-level insights to produce actionable knowledge. In this talk, I will discuss the drivers that guide this not-postponable revolution, surveying exciting applications and encouraging results.
