The webinar titled “Artificial Intelligence – as a means to improve efficiency in healthcare” was held on November 22, 2023 via Zoom.
This webinar featured Ms. Muna Fayiz Jaber, an expert on the intricacies of the rapidly growing diagnostics technology in Doha, along with Sir Mark Tacadena, who was a representative of the AFP Cyber Group, which specializes in the promotion of cybersecurity in the Philippines.
Ms. Jaber in her discussion focused on the intricacies of diagnostics and how Artificial Intelligence had the potential to improve not only triaging in the Philippines, but also the AI-powered analysis of medical data, which would significantly enhance the detection and diagnosis of various diseases. Another significant part of her discussion was how AI should mostly be focused on detecting the underlying pathology and selecting the most suitable medical interventions based on the patient’s condition, which leads to advancements in the development of personalized medicine.
The next speaker, Mr. Mark Tacadena, given that he is an expert of our country’s cybercrime unit, focused on the details of technological security and how each person can protect themselves from various cybercrime modalities. His talk also focused on how cybersecurity is closely tied to national security. Cyber threats can be used to compromise critical infrastructure, disrupt government operations, and even pose risks to public safety. He emphasized how a robust cybersecurity framework is vital to protect our national interests.
The speakers engaged in an open forum with the participants and were awarded certificates, followed by the closing remarks provided by Prof. Teresita Irigo-Barcelo, Ph.D.
