Artificial Intelligence enters the ward: the OPI launches the challenge of digital healthcare

Artificial Intelligence (AI) enters the ward, not to replace the human touch, but to enhance the effectiveness of evidence-based care. This is the central theme of the conference "Artificial Intelligence and Evidence-Based Medicine", which will take place next Tuesday at 9:00 AM, at the headquarters of the Order of Nursing Professions (OPI) in Agrigento, in the San Benedetto area.

A bridge between algorithms and care

The initiative, chaired by Salvatore Occhipinti and sponsored by the FNOPI (National Federation of Orders of Nursing Professions), aims to serve as a laboratory for reflection on how the digital revolution is rewriting the DNA of healthcare professions.

"The conference represents a moment of crucial insight for professionals in the field – says President Occhipinti –. We want to analyze the growing role of digital technologies in clinical and care processes, without forgetting ethics and the relationship with the patient".

The topics: from digital transition to the 'fragility' of the citizen

The program will not be limited to the technical aspects of AI, but will address critical points of modern healthcare:

New skills: what abilities are required today of a nurse in the data era?

Digital fragility: how to protect and guide citizens who struggle to interface with new technologies?

Care models: the use of AI to create personalized and predictive care pathways.

Distinguished speakers

The debate will feature prominent figures in the scientific and professional landscape: Dario Taborelli, physician, CEO of DatAimed and scientific director of the event, who will illustrate the integration between medicine and data analysis; Pietro Giurdanella, national councilor of FNOPI, who will provide the institutional perspective on the nursing profession in the European context; Giorgio Maritano, AI Engineer, tasked with explaining "under the hood" how algorithms can concretely support daily clinical practice.

The appointment marks a fundamental milestone for the Agrigento healthcare community, called to manage technological change to transform it into a health opportunity for the entire territory.
