The future of sanitation attenuation will pass through the incorporation of artificial intelligence (IA) into many of the processes by its interdisciplinary character and its transversality. Undo the importance of “your application for advance hacia a new medicine 5P: more preventive, participatory, personalized, predictive and public, ”said Carmen González Madrid, President of the Merck Salud Foundation.
A statement made in connection with the virtual presentation of the monograph ‘Artificial Intelligence in the Camp of Health. A new paradigm: clinical, ethical and legal aspects’, in which he participated elaborated by 14 medical professionals specialized in IA.
González Madrid has stated that artificial intelligence applied to medicine can help design pharmacies that reduce production times and costs, reduce diagnostic errors, improve prevention and offer a more personalized treat of the most prevalent diseases.
Applications of artificial intelligence
“These benefits are present today in a small scale in the video consultation with the chiropractor or in the Xenobots development that processes live cells of rana, which can serve to a more intelligent drug administration”, Said Merck Salud, President of the Foundation.
In this respect, I also have to talk about itimportant that you can play the Big data and the analysis of data in the use of medicine, with important advances in the anticipation of diagnostics and interventions.
Currently, the use of artificial intelligence in oncology, in the field of neurological pathways, in human-assisted reproduction or in the genomics of cancer, is valued among others. Exactly, in the ambition of thegenomics in precision oncology, the oncologist Jesús García-Foncillas, states that “every tumor is unique and no one adheres to a protocol, here it is possible to incur the IA in order to prevent treatment and diagnostic diagnoses”, affirmed.
No obstacle, you do not want to see anymore and todas estas herramientas, la inteligencia artificial aún tiene mucho recorrido y will be inconspicuous in the medicine of the future helping to increase the quality of the medical-patient relationship.
Implementation complexity
Jaime del Barrio, President of the Digital Health Association, referred to the difficulties of Spanish organizations in the use of artificial intelligence, the technical giants and those who teach medicine in its use and specialty human resources collection in this matter, as well as some of the difficulties of implanting the IA in the National Health System.
“We need to make sure that the formation of professional futures is more important than what the company needs: a more precise and personalized attention, aided by the new technologies,” del Barrio said. “We are living a necessary cultural change, which we must be led by the sanitary professionals to reduce in a better the quality of patients ”, added.
Ethical issues
Another obstacle to getting the implantation of this new technology is the resolution of ethical issues that can be addressed. In this sentence, Fernando Abellán, director of Derecho Sanitario Assesores and coordinator of the monograph presented, subraya Consequences of the use of the IA to ensure that the rights and values of our society are respected ”.
The actual context of the pandemic has disrupted the use of video consulting services, “what is needed is to be screened new protocols of actuation ”, indicated.
For its part, Federico de Montalvo, president of the Committee of Biotechnology of Spain, has analyzed the risks that can be applied to new technologies, such as cybersecurity. In this context, it is considered that we are prepared legally to support this challenge. As a response, De Montalvo called for “work in a gobernanza brand which involves the Pharma Industry, the public powders and the patients ”.
