What is artificial intelligence actually about? What opportunities and limitations does it bring? In what areas of medicine and modern health care can it be used effectively? Can AI replace a doctor or nurse? What are the current limitations for healthcare facilities to use AI? And is its use actually ethical?

The biggest expansion of artificial intelligence is in the field of radiology. It is mainly used for increasingly accurate radiological analysis and image interpretation. In this area, stakeholders' expectations are probably the greatest. What AI is currently available for radiology? In which examinations can it be used? What must be the quality of the data? What AIs are currently already used in medical practice in Slovakia and abroad? What is the view of the end user - the radiologist - on these increasing possibilities?

Is artificial intelligence marketing, or does it really have the potential to change the entire healthcare industry? Where has artificial intelligence been able to break through and bring surprisingly good results? Diagnostics? Lifestyle analysis? Research into new drugs? In which areas of medicine do we see the greatest potential for its use? Do we use any of these options in Slovakia?

Can artificial intelligence help change the negative trend of oncological diseases in Slovakia? There are studies that show that the combination of AI and human power has improved the screening of some oncological diseases, and there is more and more talk about the so-called radiomics, which combines information from radiology with clinical-genomic information. Do we have data for this in Slovakia? Can we already use AI for this?

Medicine is not only about new diagnostic or treatment methods. Effective management and operation of hospitals is also important. What do we need for this and what solutions could we imagine? Can AI and robotics help in this? Are the staff in hospitals and clinics ready for such a change? How to perceive these innovations positively?

How to make more out of less? Slovak healthcare is underfunded. But can it be effective even with small finances? Is it possible to optimize it? What is stopping us from doing so? In what condition is the optimized hospital network? How are processes set? What will it bring in practice? What about other healthcare providers? Aren't we just paying attention to hospitals and neglecting others?
