The podcasts tell how the intersection of technological possibilities and new needs is the driving force behind a small revolution, opening a window on how medicine and the doctor-patient relationship are likely to look in the next years.
EPISODE 1
The revolution is upon us
Prof. Alessandro Repici, Humanitas Research Hospital
A revolution is upon us. It concerns medicine and passes through technological evolution. It is also the result of new contingent needs, dictated by the Covid 19 emergency and by the need, unheard of to date, of distancing. It is a revolution in the sector, which opens a window on what medicine and the doctor-patient relationship will presumably be like in the next twenty years.
EPISODE 2
The doctor-patient relationship
Paola Guffanti, Asst Crema
Communication between doctor, patient and family is a fundamental element of medical assistance, in particular during Covid19 emergency. It is estimated that each doctor spends one-third to half of their work-time in this activity. Technology helps improve communication channels, but specific training is also essential.
EPISODE 3
Home-care
Dr Paolo D’Andrea, ULSS Belluno
Home-care has been put in crisis by the health emergency from Covid 19: to face the pandemic, the relationship with the general practitioner, at today’s state of the art, has shown flaws and weaknesses. Also for this reason the issue of territorial medicine and its future development is on the political agenda of many European governments. Let’s find out together the possible developments and the available and upcoming technologies.
EPISODE 4
Artificial Intelligence
Dr Giovanni Delgrossi, ASST Vimercate
Artificial intelligence is not science fiction, it is already in our lives. It is not just a means of analysing data or rationalising activities. It is also a fundamental support tool for doctors and healthcare facilities in various fields, a sort of ‘virtual colleague’ capable of facilitating and making more effective the work of the human operator.
EPISODE 5
Women's health, diagnosis and prevention
Dr Maria Silvia Sfondrini, Fondazione IRCCS Ca’ Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico
Breast cancer prevention, remote diagnostics, guaranteed screening even in times of Covid emergency.
Technology can do a lot (and already does a lot) in delicate and fundamental areas of women’s health.
EPISODE 6
Imagining the future
Prof. Giovanni Morana, Cà Foncello Treviso
Today we can only glimpse the possibilities offered by the technological revolution in the healthcare sector. So let’s try to imagine where we can go from here.
