Robotics for coping with daily life and the "all-rounder" AI
November 14 (11:00 am) will start with robotics. Prof. Robert Riener from the ‘Sensory-Motor Systems Lab’ and ETH Zürich initiated “Cybathlon”. This is the name of a platform intended to drive research in the field of assistive systems for daily living and encourage public dialogue regarding the inclusion of people with disabilities in everyday life. Dr Jaime Duarte, co-founder of ‘MyoSwiss’, will present a wearable exoskeleton in his presentation at the Forum, which can be used as an “e-bike for legs”.

Prof. Paul Lukowicz, head of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence and one of the world’s most renowned experts on AI, will then talk about the importance of “ChatGPT” and large language models (LLM) for the future of the health care sector. His opinion can be clearly defined: AI in medicine should be used in cases where its use increases the possible success of a medical procedure and thereby serves humanity. At the MEDICA CONNECTED HEALTHCARE FORUM (November 14) he will offer an update on this. Speakers from well-known companies like GE Healthcare, Philips, Huawei, NextOR, Jeios and Biotronik will give matching short overviews of the role AI is playing already – for example, Biotronik uses it to predict events in the context of cardiac insufficiency – and how this will (probably) continue in the future.
The afternoon will be dedicated to the 12th MEDICA Start-up COMPETITION. At 3:00 pm, twelve finalists from different categories will pitch to win. Following many exciting presentations, there will be an opportunity for a get-together to network with the young start-up scene in a relaxed atmosphere.
Ways to increase sustainability
The health sector is among the largest consumers of resources and generates a high volume of waste. It follows that any measures targeting this could be especially effective in combating climate change and its consequences. November 15 (11:00 am) will start with the Forum session “Sustainability in Healthcare – Creating green healthcare initiatives for a positive impact on the environment” and a talk by Prof. Edda Weimann at the MEDICA CONNECTED HEALTHCARE FORUM. Prof. Weimann is the director of the Geneva Sustainability Centre. She has many years of experience regarding the topic of how clinics can achieve climate neutrality. The vision presented by the start-up Resourcify sounds nothing less than revolutionary. The team of developers wants to make a waste-free future possible, based on technological progress. Meike Lessau, Head of Circularity at Resourcify, will illustrate their concrete ideas.
