Bertalan's speaking topics
Healthcare needs a trip to Mars
In this keynote, Healthcare needs a trip to Mars, Bertalan argue that we need to create a healthcare system that would even keep an astronaut on Mars alive. We need to use our digital health technologies to make patients the point of care, to let them access their own data, to involve augmented algorithms to help make decisions on the go. That’s the only way that we can bring healthcare into the 21st century.
Science fiction in healthcare
See what it feels like to meet science fiction in your life and learn to predict which technologies will shape your industry through one simple habit: asking the what if question.
How to be a hero to save healthcare
Digital health is the cultural transformation that brings healthcare to the 21st century. Why don’t you take charge and become the hero to make it happen?
Your A.I. prescription
It is high time to describe how artificial intelligence will impact medicine and healthcare; why this change is inevitable and what we should do to prepare for working and living with it. This narrative aims to transform uncertainties regarding A.I. into a productive exchange of knowledge between humans and machines. A real deep dive.
Healthcare after COVID
Coronavirus has shattered our world and changed nearly all aspects of our lives. Life will never be the same after COVID-19. Healthcare has also been changed forever. Digital health products have played an important role in the COVID-19 response.
Technologies and concepts from telemedicine through A.I. monitoring to network medicine, all came together in an attempt to try to know, understand and forecast the virus.
