Professor Renato Sabbatini's presentation will provide lecture participants with a showcase of contemporary advances in artificial intelligence in medicine and other health sciences. According to the speaker, "we are living in a new period of enthusiasm and growth, mainly due to the new ecosystem of startups that find it easy to find investors".

Among the topics to be covered in the lecture are “Machine Learning” and “Deep Learning”. The professor explains that research in this area offers many opportunities for development as well as application. To work, however, some factors are fundamental, such as multidisciplinary development teams, with strong involvement of those who dominate the field of knowledge (physicians, for example), perfect harmonization with other applications, such as the PEP (Electronic Patient Record) , and realistic product monetization models.
