UB– Siemens Healthcare Chair On Digital Healthineers
Director
Presentation
There is a growing need for better interaction between industry and academia to jointly address the development and validation of digital healthcare solutions and the implementation of new solutions.
Understanding and disseminating the contributions of digital technologies to improving the quality and efficiency of health services (especially those technologies related to artificial intelligence) is a key factor for the sustainability of current services.
The creation of a UB Chair with SIEMENS Healthcare, a global leader in the field of digital health, is a unique opportunity for the UB, in general, and the Medicine Campus, in particular.
