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.

Artificial Intelligence

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.
