This is a version of Dr. Pasero's IMS Distinguished Lecture aimed at Undergraduate, Graduate, and Ph.D. Students who are interested in learning more about AI in Medicine.
Industry 4.0 is considered the great revolution of the past few years. New technologies, the Internet of things, and the possibility to monitor everything from everywhere changed both plants and the approaches to industrial production. Medicine is considered a slowly changing discipline. The human body model is a difficult concept to develop. But we can identify some passages in which medicine can be compared to industry. Four major changes revolutionized medicine:
- Medicine 1.0: James Watson and Francis Crick described the structure of DNA. This was the beginning of research in the field of molecular and cellular biology
- Medicine 2.0: Sequencing the Human genome. This discovery made it possible to find the origin of the diseases.
- Medicine 3.0: The convergence of biology and engineering. Now the biologist’s experience can be combined with the technology of the engineers. New approaches to new forms of analysis can be used.
- Medicine 4.0: Digitalization of Medicine: IOT devices and techniques, AI to perform analyses, Machine Learning for diagnoses, Brain-Computer Interface, Smart wearable sensors.
