Machine Learning & AI for Healthcare 2021

Everyone is very welcome to the first Healthcare Innovation Summit powered by Startup Disrupt! In November we’ll live stream an online conference aboutinnovation in healthcare, mental health, trends in R&D, and other interesting topics. We will host 3 amazing panel discussions and speakers who are the leaders of tomorrow in these fields.

At no time in living memory had mental health been a more pressing concern. The COVID-19 pandemic and its calamitous economic consequences threaten us with a tsunami wave of psychological dysfunctions the likes of which we had never encountered before: mood disorders (especially depression), anxiety disorders, exacerbated personality disorders, and, in extremis, psychotic disorders. And this is not to mention the crests of addictions, substance abuse, child abuse, aggression, and domestic violence. We are ill prepared for this challenge: we lack the capacity, the funding, the training, the manpower, the institutions, the cultural sensitivity, and the resilience (because mental health practitioners are also human). Conferences like “World Psychiatrists & Psychologists conference” rush to the breach, to selflessly fill in the gap. It allows us, who are in the front lines of this impending doom, to regroup, exchange ideas, and be exposed to cutting edge research. We feel that we are not alone in our predicament and this gives us the strength to persevere. I wish you all an edifying and transformative day. Do join during November 15-16, 2021 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The impact of COVID-19, along with the advent of new technologies, is transforming the way health care is being delivered in Canada. This rapid growth and the adoption of new delivery models, such as digital health, has created new operational challenges, and required a rethinking and new approach to service delivery. The end goal being a system that is more predictive, preventative, personalized and participatory going forward. Public Sector Network’sHealth Innovationvirtual event will bring together top health professionals who are piloting the way with new and progressive digital healthcare initiatives. With digital innovation now empowering patients to play a more active role in their own care, the need to modernize the health care during this time of transformation is critical for a more responsive and positive citizen experience.

Launched in 2018, Express Healthcare’s Radiology and Imaging Conclave is back after a year-long absence caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. Through a Virtual Format, the third edition aims to look at how this healthcare segment overcame the challenges and came into its own during the pandemic. The upcoming event in December marks two years since the pandemic began as well as the sector’s evolution over the past two years as a crucial component of diagnosis. While there were excesses, leading to overuse of imaging, a key question remains: How can radiologists and imaging specialists prepare for the next COVID wave, and future-proof our healthcare system from unknown contagions?
