He stressed that such solutions will be particularly transformative in emergency rooms, where staff shortages and high patient volumes could be managed through AI-driven diagnosis and treatment protocols.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW153197503 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; el_class=&#8221;back-button-row lichtgrau&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1689591697517{background-color: #f5f5f5 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<style type=\"text\/css\" data-type=\"the7_shortcodes-inline-css\">#default-btn-03138c92701b97cc2c0f87d7b408de4c.ico-right-side > i {\n  margin-right: 0px;\n  margin-left: 8px;\n}\n#default-btn-03138c92701b97cc2c0f87d7b408de4c > i {\n  margin-right: 8px;\n}<\/style><div class=\"btn-align-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hip.vitagroup.ag\/en\/news-stories\/magazine\/\" class=\"default-btn-shortcode dt-btn dt-btn-m link-hover-off tertiary small back \" id=\"default-btn-03138c92701b97cc2c0f87d7b408de4c\" title=\"Magazine\"><i class=\"icomoon-the7-font-the7-arrow-12\"><\/i><span>back<\/span><\/a><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; el_id=&#8221;magazin-content&#8221; el_class=&#8221;lichtgrau&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69de42e81992c\" data-id=\"69de42e81992c\" data-height=\"40\" data-height-mobile=\"30\" data-height-tab=\"\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"30\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[vc_raw_html css=&#8221;&#8221;]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[\/vc_raw_html]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69de42e819955\" data-id=\"69de42e819955\" data-height=\"70\" data-height-mobile=\"45\" data-height-tab=\"\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"45\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>How will open standards shape AI&#8217;s future in healthcare?<\/h2>\n<p>The major problem we have at the moment with AI is that we need a certain access to data and therefore we need huge databases. If they are restricted like they are in some countries, we will get into problems. Hence, we can&#8217;t do the AI models. Therefore, open access is the key for the future to generate really good AI models which really help the patient.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69de42e819976\" data-id=\"69de42e819976\" data-height=\"40\" data-height-mobile=\"30\" data-height-tab=\"\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"30\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>What role do open platforms play in emergency rooms?<\/h2>\n<p>In the emergency rooms we have more and more problems because we see stuff shortages, we see too many patients at the same time. Therefore, data driven diagnosis and treatment is something which can really help to cover such great number of patients. Especially, for example, now in the winter with the flu season. It is therefore mandatory that we have it in the future.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69de42e819995\" data-id=\"69de42e819995\" data-height=\"40\" data-height-mobile=\"30\" data-height-tab=\"\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"30\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>How will AI impact the work in emergency rooms?<\/h2>\n<p>I would not only restrict that to the emergency room, because AI will help us in medicine (overall). In the first step \u2013 and that is something for the next five years \u2013\u00a0 you get some recommendations from AI (such as) the patient might have, for example, a flu or might have pneumonia. That is the first step I would see for the next five years.<\/p>\n<p>In the longer perspective, I guess we will come to the point where we have, in a way, an AI doctor who makes recommendations. Here we will get into a lot of discussions within the next five to 10 years (about who is responsible for the recommendations): if an AI doctor, for example, is responsible, which means the (AI) company is responsible, or if still the doctor is in charge and the nurse is in charge. That is something which is a very interesting discussion, and I have no clue at the moment how it will end.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69de42e8199b2\" data-id=\"69de42e8199b2\" data-height=\"40\" data-height-mobile=\"30\" data-height-tab=\"\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"30\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s key to successful digital transformation?<\/h2>\n<p>The most important point is that we have to be really open minded now, especially in Europe where we are usually a little bit more restrictive than, for example, in the US or in India or in China. We have to be open minded so that we can really use the data to create good AI models that really help the patient. That is something we have to change our mindset on a little bit in Europe.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69de42e8199cd\" data-id=\"69de42e8199cd\" data-height=\"40\" data-height-mobile=\"30\" data-height-tab=\"\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"30\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span data-teams=\"true\">Thank you very much for the interview.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the interview, Dr. Christian Karagiannidis talks about digital innovations in emergency rooms based on HIP and the future of the healthcare system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":7078,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[107],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-partnership","category-107","description-off"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hip.vitagroup.ag\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hip.vitagroup.ag\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hip.vitagroup.ag\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hip.vitagroup.ag\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hip.vitagroup.ag\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7181"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/hip.vitagroup.ag\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7181\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10303,"href":"https:\/\/hip.vitagroup.ag\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7181\/revisions\/10303"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hip.vitagroup.ag\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hip.vitagroup.ag\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hip.vitagroup.ag\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hip.vitagroup.ag\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
