3 July 2024 – In the first week of July, experts from various industries convened at the AI Academy, an event organized by the Croatian Chamber of Economy. The focus was on discussing the future of artificial intelligence and its burgeoning impact across various sectors, with a notable emphasis on healthcare. AI is increasingly recognized as a pivotal driver of innovation and service enhancement.
Anja Barešić, our project coordinator for AI4Health.Cro from the Ruđer Bošković Institute, underscored the AI4Health.Cro ecosystem’s role in fostering AI-based innovations and guiding businesses through digital transformation. She showcased examples of entities that successfully navigated our tailored transformation program, stressing the critical need to weave new technologies seamlessly into daily operations.
A key highlight was Andrija Štajduhar from the MediBoost team, winners of our innovation contest, who showcased his application for evaluating the risk of early rehospitalization. Andrija outlined future plans to refine the model through continuous testing and clinical validation in partnership with medical professionals, aiming to broaden collaborations and elevate patient care standards.
Other distinguished speakers at the academy included Aco Momčilović, Filip Karlo Došilović from Newfire Global Partners, Petra Pungerčar from Pharmacol d.o.o., Domagoj Kosmina from Radiochirurgia Zagreb, and Tomislav Strgar and Josip Kustić from TIS GRUPA. Their insights into AI’s application in healthcare reinforced the notion that artificial intelligence won’t replace humans but will empower those who leverage and understand it to perform better.
