Keynote 2 : Medicine 4.0: AI and IoT, The New Revolution

Abstract

Medicine 4.0 is a great revolution in inpatient care. New horizons are possible today. Covid 19 has highlighted problems that have existed for a long time. Relocation of services means remote monitoring, remote diagnoses without direct contact between the doctor and the patient. Hospitals are freed from routine tests performed by patients at home and reported by doctors on the internet. As a result, potentially dangerous conditions can be prevented. During the Covid emergency, everybody can check his condition and ask for a medical visit (swab) only when really necessary. It is true telemedicine and is not WhatsApp where an elder tries to chat with a doctor. It is a smart device able to measure objective vital parameters and send them to a health care center. Of course, Medicine 4.0 requires new technologies for smart sensors. These devices need to be very easy to use, fast, reliable, and low cost. Both people and doctors must accept them. Medicine 4.0 can use AI both to perform parameter measurements and to manage the monitoring of multiple patients.
