00:00The lockdown period for COVID-19 has greatly accelerated the digitization of health.
00:10Today, however, we find ourselves unable to cover the entire population,
00:15both from a health point of view, i.e. from a personal and social health point of view,
00:19but also from a patient point of view.
00:21We still have an alphabetization of patients from a digital point of view
00:26and we need to provide new medical and social health professionals
00:32who use digital tools correctly.
00:36The content of our meeting today is precisely in which direction we must move.
00:42The doctor, what are the skills he must acquire to be more and more
00:47adapted to the world of artificial intelligence,
00:52which will certainly allow us to make fewer mistakes.
00:55The medical profession is still a profession largely based on individual experience,
01:00so it has a very strong component of individual professionalism.
01:05Artificial intelligence will help us to make this entire articulated path
01:12much more uniform, so that if we are on the Alps or at sea,
01:21we can receive the same level of diagnosis and therapy quality.
01:26We are moving in this direction.
01:28We must be educated, because I realize that the elderly today are used to the telephone,
01:33still to verbal communication, to direct contact,
01:37which is a contact that today has a time consumption that we are no longer able to provide to everyone.
01:45So we need to educate the elderly to make them safe from the use of technology.
01:53This is what we must move towards,
01:56because there is an uncertain part,
02:00that the message they have sent through the web,
02:04through an email or WhatsApp message,
02:08really arrives.
02:10For the elderly, there is a need for a moment of comfort
02:14that their message is not lost,
02:16but it will arrive in the right way, in the right hands.
