🤖 AI is steadily transforming healthcare, with integration now widespread in fields such as radiology and pharmacology. In surgery, AI-based decision support is rapidly advancing, bringing innovations like computer-generated pre-planning models and intra-operative navigation aids in orthopaedics, reconstructive surgery, and general surgery. Additionally, cutting-edge developments in surgical video analysis are enabling real-time tissue assessment, elevating precision like never before. However, integrating AI in traditional surgical workflows presents significant challenges. These include the acceptance of these technologies by the current surgical workforce 👩⚕️👨⚕️, balancing innovation with ethical considerations, patient privacy and data security, and addressing the role of financially incentivized companies in AI development. 📊 Medical education is also poised for transformation, with future doctors needing skills to engage with AI-based research, data analytics , and machine learning fundamentals. Familiarity with metrics like training accuracy, validation accuracy, and f-scores will soon become essential. By embracing AI in surgery, we stand to maximize its benefits and tackle challenges head-on. An exciting evolution awaits the world of surgery, with immense opportunities for all involved 🌟🚀 Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/d7XGmnkd #HealthcareInnovation | #Surgery | #MedicalEducation | #FutureOfMedicine | #AI2MED Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) Sveučilište Algebra TIB – Leibniz-Informationszentrum Technik und Naturwissenschaften und Universitätsbibliothek Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II Kelyon Jozef Stefan Institute BIRD Incubator Griffith College Dublin Smion Università di Pavia Univerzitet Crne Gore

As we hit the halfway mark in this crucial decade for the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, #entrepreneurship is key to creating a sustainable future for our food system. 🌍 In 2021, European AgriFoodTech startups raised an impressive €9.8 billion (according to DigitalFoodLab). But in the past two years, funding has dropped by over 50%, posing big challenges for food system innovation and mission-driven entrepreneurs. 🔍 With financial uncertainty ahead, it's more important than ever to support Europe’s boldest entrepreneurs in bringing their innovations to life. 💡 A promising result from an independent impact assessment of our three entrepreneurship programmes – EIT Food Seedbed Incubator, EIT Food Accelerator Network, and EIT Food RisingFoodStars – shows that for every €1 invested on 549 promising startups and scaleups since 2018, a wider economic benefit of €6 can be expected over 10 years, growing to €13 over 15 years. 🚀 This also provided key insights on how to maximise the impact of entrepreneurship in the #FoodSystem.

🌍 Malnutrition: A Global Challenge. AI: A Powerful Ally 🤖 #Malnutrition, defined as inadequate nutrition affecting physical and mental function, remains a widespread issue. It encompasses undernutrition (e.g., wasting, stunting), micronutrient deficiencies, and obesity. Both diet-related non-communicable diseases and infectious diseases affect malnourished individuals. With 1 in 6 people expected to be over 65 by 2050, malnutrition is a growing concern, especially as WHO reports show 148 million children under 5 are stunted, 45 million suffer from wasting, and 37 million are overweight. 📊 The fight against malnutrition requires multidisciplinary efforts, but #AI is emerging as a game-changer. 🤖 AI can analyze vast datasets, identify at-risk populations, enhance food distribution, and provide personalized nutritional interventions. It holds immense potential in optimizing diagnostics and resource allocation, supporting earlier and more effective interventions. 🎯 In addition to early diagnosis, AI can tailor nutritional care to individual needs and improve #foodsecurity by predicting malnutrition trends. 📈 With the right implementation, AI could transform malnutrition treatment and prevention, from personalized care to #publichealth strategies. 🏥 Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/dbWMj2HZ #AI | #Malnutrition | #Nutrition | #HealthcareInnovation | #WHO | #AI2MED Università di Pavia Sveučilište Algebra TIB – Leibniz-Informationszentrum Technik und Naturwissenschaften und Universitätsbibliothek Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II Kelyon Jozef Stefan Institute BIRD Incubator Griffith College Dublin Smion Univerzitet Crne Gore Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI)
