Health

Effective diagnostics, personalized medicine, computer-assisted epidemiology, and the decoding of protein structures are just a few of the numerous fields of application in which AI systems are already delivering results that are sometimes more precise than human experts. Against an aging society and an overburdened healthcare system, AI-based technologies will continue to gain relevance in the future. In doing so, they raise many questions: How can AI-based applications optimally support the work of doctors and nurses? What are the potentials and risks of health apps for physical and mental health care? How can the digital transformation of healthcare simultaneously be made safe, social, and innovative? And can AI technologies fulfill humankind's age-old dream of (digital) immortality? The "Health" theme track addresses these and many other questions.
