The mini-track was co-chaired by Prof. Weizi Li (University of Reading, UK), Prof. Kendall Ho (The University of British Columbia Columbia, Canada), Dr. Hector Zenil (Oxford Immune Algorithmics, UK), and Dr. Dionne Tannetta (Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust, UK)
Dr. Tannetta’s talk showed how the Virtual Ward initiative in the UK is taking off and how it came about from the lessons learned from the Covid-19 pandemic where 131 patients remained at home closely monitored remotely under a very successful triaging clinical pathway. On the other hand, Prof. Li explained how an early-stage project to incorporate Generative AI in an arthritis triaging pathway, has led to an increase of accurate referral from primary to secondary care. Both projects show the promise and the future of AI and remote digital care in healthcare and medicine.
