Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence: Future of Healthcare and Policy Strategies Seminar
Our university hosted a prestigious event titled "Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence: The Future of Healthcare and Policy Strategies", a prestigious event that shared the latest developments in the fields of medicine, engineering and artificial intelligence with the academic community. In the 3rd event organized within the scope of "Artificial Intelligence Seminar Series" in cooperation with Istanbul Aydın University Faculty of Medicine, Center for Advanced Studies and Health Service Policies Application and Research Center, Tolga TUNCER, General Manager of One Dose Health and Chief Executive Officer of Turkish Informatics Association, shared his valuable knowledge and experience with students on how digital transformation and artificial intelligence technologies can revolutionize the health sector and how to use these technologies effectively.
At the opening of the seminar, all stakeholders who contributed to the realization of the organization were thanked, and the seminar series was organized by Dr. Lecturer Arta ARMANİ, a valuable faculty member of Istanbul Aydın University Faculty of Medicine, who came up with the idea of the seminar series and organized it from the beginning of the process. Prof. Dr. Ali SINAĞ, Vice Rector of Istanbul Aydın University, Prof. Dr. Hasan SAYGIN, Corporate Advisor to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Prof. Dr. Halil ALIŞ, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Dr. Zeynep TÜRK, Faculty of Pharmacy and Advanced Research Center Faculty Member, and all the team members who took part in the organization of the seminar.
The seminar focused on the effects of digital transformation on healthcare. How technological developments are changing lives, the importance of data collection and how smart devices can revolutionize healthcare services were discussed. Today, with 16 billion connected devices, health monitoring has become possible, while personalized approaches and remote monitoring systems have gained great importance. In this context, data such as heart rate, oxygen level and sugar measurement can be collected through devices, enabling continuous monitoring of health status.
The concept of digital twin and the studies on modeling the human body and health data in a digital environment were also emphasized in the seminar. In addition, important health issues such as health management with data provided by wearable technologies, early discharge processes and hypertension in pregnancy were discussed. The use of digital platforms for the monitoring and treatment of diseases is encouraged by the regulation on remote health services.
The seminar also discussed the potential of next-generation technologies such as generative artificial intelligence and big language models in healthcare. It focused on how AI can revolutionize areas such as faster diagnosis, personalization of treatment processes and drug discovery. In addition, important information was provided on how to integrate micro, nano and sperm robotics technologies into treatment processes, the increase in genetic testing and data security.
This seminar raised awareness about the future of digital healthcare and helped us better understand the potential of technologies in the healthcare sector. In this period of rapid digital transformation in healthcare, the importance of adapting to change and using the right data safely was emphasized once again.
At the end of the seminar, the questions of the participants and the presentation of a plaque by Dr. Zeynep TÜRK closed the seminar and the participants expressed their gratitude by stating that such events are very important for the future of health technologies.
