Check out our summary of the main talks on the growing use of Artificial Intelligence in healthcare – a fascinating and topical subject whose integration into the sector is inevitable. Faced with this unavoidable reality, we can only embrace this trend.
It is now essential to develop customized AI solutions for the hospital sector, evaluate their effectiveness and be aware of the necessary precautions when using this technology.
We need to explore the extent to which we can trust the information generated by AI and, at the same time, guarantee the protection of the personal data that feeds these platforms. 
Challenges and opportunities of using AI in the healthcare sector
Albert Einstein Hospital’s Head of Innovations at the Hospital Fair 2024, Rodrigo Demarch addressed the inevitable transformation that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is bringing about in the health sector. And he emphasizes that the adoption of this technology is a path of no return.
He highlighted measuring the effectiveness of AI as the main challenge, given the vast amount of data generated. He also pointed out the need to select data that truly proves the efficiency of the innovations implemented.
Demarch highlighted the use of AI throughout the hospital operational chain to support more accurate and informed decisions.
Another worrying topic mentioned in the lecture was the low uptake of Artificial Intelligence in Health in Brazil. This problem prevents deeper learning and valuable insights.
The issue of data vulnerability was also an important point of discussion, especially in the context of the General Data Protection Act (LGPD). The need to maintain interoperability that respects data privacy was discussed.
And what about the regulatory issues surrounding the use of AI?
Regulatory challenges in AI in Healthcare
One of the big questions raised in all the lectures on the subject of Artificial Intelligence at the Hospital Fairwhat would the regulatory initiatives be?
Hospital managers, doctors and health professionals who use AI or want to implement the technology say they are afraid and have many doubts about its use. In addition, they ask themselves, in the event of errors in a diagnosis or in the management and leakage of data, “who do we hold responsible”?
However, to everyone’s relief, a bill to regulate AI is already on the drawing board,
PL 2338/23
. According to Guilherme Forma Klafke, Project Leader at FGV’s Center for Teaching and Research in Innovation, the importance of the regulation is precisely to know who will be responsible in the event of damage to patients. It also guarantees the implementation of secure and reliable systems.
The researcher said that there is a categorization of risks that involves platform developers and users. In addition, the law requires institutions to create governance programs to adopt internal processes and policies of standards and good practices .

FDHIC Congress – The power of GenAIs in the healthcare ecosystem
The Future of Digital Health International Congress, which took place at the 29th Hospital Fair, had as its central theme“The power of GenAIs in the healthcare ecosystem”. Guilherme Hummel led the discussions, highlighting the impact of Generative Artificial Intelligences (GenAIs) on healthcare. Particularly in the patient journey, through smart applications and wearables.
The speakers, including renowned professionals such as Carlos Pedrotti (Medical Manager of the Telemedicine Center at Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein), Daniel Greca (Innovation and Business Unit Director at Hospital Sírio-Libanês) and Victor Gadelha (Head of Education, Research and Innovation at Dasa), discussed how GenAIs can make processes in healthcare institutions more organized and efficient.
Facing challenges such as a shortage of professionals and long waiting lines, GenAIs offer promises of greater integration of information and improved clinical documentation. Although, as Greca pointed out, they can’t solve all the problems by themselves.
In addition, discussions covered the ability of GenAIs to improve data classification and processing, essential for advances in clinical research and more accurate analysis.
The need for systemic change was also discussed, where the digitization of processes must be accompanied by real innovations that promote efficiency and disruption.
Participants speculated on the future of healthcare in 2034, envisioning more efficient institutions and more personalized and proactive care. As well as advances in clinical auditing and database management.
The dynamics of the congress present a promising path through the GenAIs, but also underline the importance of human responsibility in their implementation and management.
Hospitality and Facilities Congress at
Hospitality Fair 2024
At the Hospitality and Facilities Congress, Prof. Claudia Laselva, Director of the Morumbi Hospital Unit and of Care Practices at the Albert Einstein Brazilian Israelite Beneficent Society, discussed how the incorporation of technologies and artificial intelligence is transforming hospital management and enriching the patient experience.
During her talk “High Tech and High Touch” at the Hospital Fair, she highlighted initiatives such as the Operational Command Center and the Care Monitoring Center, which centralize operations and reduce costs and waste through efficient management of the flow of patients and resources.
The application of AI helps to prioritize beds and distribute staff rosters, improving efficiency and reducing waiting times and overtime. Technology is also present in other operational aspects, such as the introduction of robots for tasks such as admitting patients and transferring medication, and the automation of beds that allow patients to control their room environment via tablets.
Significantly, the hospital employs virtual nurses who use data from electronic medical records to predict and prevent clinical deterioration, thus reducing detection and intervention time.
Albert Einstein Hospital also prioritizes the humanized application of technology, ensuring that technological development allows healthcare professionals to devote more time to care that requires empathy and human interaction, reinforcing the positive patient experience.
International Congress of Health Services (CISS)
