Revolutionizing healthcare: The transformative impact of artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping healthcare, ushering in a new era of personalized, predictive, and proactive care. In this keynote, we explore the transformative impact of AI across the healthcare continuum, from diagnostics to daily wellness management. As a showcase example, we highlight the transformation of hearing aids into intelligent, multifunctional devices that enhance communication, monitor health, enable real-time language translation, and serve as personal assistants powered by Generative AI. By embedding advanced AI capabilities into wearable technologies, we are not only augmenting the human senses but also creating continuous health insights, supporting early detection of medical conditions, and enriching human interaction. This talk will offer insights into the broader implications of AI in healthcare and how the convergence of sensing, processing, and intelligent algorithms across cloud and edge computing is shaping the future of medicine and wellness.
