Artificial intelligence is the tool of the future to prevent diseases before they happen

Experts in the field of health care agreed that the coming period will witness a revolution in medicine and the pharmaceutical industry that will change their features and open new areas for more effective and less costly treatments that guarantee a healthy life for humans, as part of the activities of the World Government Summit in its seventh session 2019.

confirmed Momo Fusik, Chief Scientific Officer - VEUM In his speech titled “Artificial Intelligence in the Service of Health and Well-Being”, that in light of the development that humanity is witnessing today in all fields, it has become illogical to continue to follow the same concepts and methods of health care, given that the model has become outdated and failed in dealing with the diseases that people suffer from as it focuses specifically on managing symptoms of diseases and not managing health in a specific way. general.

He added that pathogens may start thirty years ago and eventually reach the health crisis, and medicine in its case today treats the crisis and does not treat the causes, but rather costs huge expenses, especially with chronic diseases, and this model is unsustainable and cannot be sustained.

He said: “Technological advances that were not previously available have opened the door to countless opportunities to change the healthcare landscape. After doctors used to conduct many tests to find out what causes disease, today there is one test that takes about 24 hours to identify all pathogens.

He continued by saying: “With the advancement of modern technology, all people have to do is follow three simple steps: using a digital application to notify the symptoms to the competent authority, then the nurse will take the necessary samples from your home, then you have to follow the instructions and take the antibiotics that benefit your condition, all this while you are sitting. In your home without going to the clinic or hospital and exposing others to getting an infection from you.”

He added: “The food we eat determines the health of our bodies, but we should follow a diet based on scientific facts and not follow any type of diet without knowing its side effects, and here lies the importance of employing artificial intelligence in improving public health levels while feeding it with high-quality data, so that We can draw a map of human health that identifies pathogens that may occur in the future for the person, and work to prevent them.”

confirmed Momo fusic The importance of the role of governments in providing the necessary training for scientists, funding studies, and spreading societal awareness of the importance of a diet that suits each individual and is consistent with his or her specific situation.

The end of the era of medicine as we know it

On the other hand, he indicated Harald Schmidt, Physician and Systemic Scientist at Maastricht University, in a session titled “The End of the Era of Medicine We Know” pointed out that the technological revolution made us realize that existing drugs are not very useful, do not treat diseases accurately, and led us to new conclusions about the effectiveness of drugs.

Dr. Schmidt said that this development may lead to the end of the pharmaceutical industry as we know it in the next few years, especially with the change in our understanding of diseases, which will change our view of the specialties of doctors as we do today according to the organs of the human body.

He explained that many diseases that affect different organs share their mechanisms and causes, and therefore it is possible to put them in different groups and categories and treat the main causes for each group, thus avoiding individuals with a large group of diseases that may target different organs..

He concluded by drawing the features of the future of health care, and said that the definitions of diseases, the specializations of doctors, and the method of discovering and examining diseases will change, and that this decade will witness the end of the era of studying pharmacy as we know it..

7 foundations for integrated health

For a healthy and energetic life, I selected Dr. Sarah Gottfried, writer and physician,Seven foundations of integrated health, including food, whose role is not limited to food for cells only, but is food for genes and microbes that we carry in our bodies, and that would affect our health in the long term, noting that vegetables, for example, represent one of the best sources of food for us.

It also touched on the rest of the pillars, which are movement, activity, sleep and thinking for the health of human brain cells, in addition to knowing the causes of anxiety and depression and self-avoidance, and human communication that renews human vitality, getting rid of negative elements from our bodies and following all scientific methods for that in a way that promotes integrated health.
