Artificial intelligence can significantly accelerate parts of the diagnostic process, healthcare data will enable more precise and personalized treatment, and some examinations may shift outside of hospital settings. However, experts agree that doctors will not lose their jobs. In fact, the healthcare sector faces a completely different challenge: an aging population, staff shortages, and the need to learn how to effectively utilize these technologies. What might the Slovak healthcare system look like in ten years? This was one of the topics explored at the eastMED conference—focused on healthcare, science, and business—held at the UVP Technicom research park.
