Artificial intelligence (AI) will be a key focus at the upcoming G7 Health Summit in Ancona, Italy, scheduled for October 9-11. Health Minister Orazio Schillaci highlighted AI's potential to improve medical diagnostics, therapies, and prioritize healthcare needs.
During a recent event, Schillaci emphasized the importance of digitalization in healthcare, stating it is essential for promoting accessible and equitable health services. He noted that telemedicine and AI-managed virtual hospitals could significantly reduce wait times and improve patient care.
