Webinar content:
Digitalisation and artificial intelligence have a huge impact on healthcare, but these new technologies are also fundamentally different from traditional health methods. While it takes a decade to develop new medicines, digital technologies may become obsolete in a few years, and breakthrough technologies emerge in a very short time. Also, digital technologies lack a direct biological effect, their main role is to make the information flow easier or cheaper. But can patients and physicians use effectively this new information to live healthier lives, or make better therapeutic decisions? Are the new digital technologies as effective in real-world practice, as we expect? How can we make predictions about their clinical or economic value? It is nearly impossible to list all the questions that emerge concerning the economic and societal effect of digital technologies and artificial intelligence in healthcare. At the webinar, Professor Zrubka will make an attempt to answer some of these questions and ask new ones.
