The “AI and cybersecurity in healthcare” conference, held at the Patio de la Infanta and organized by San Juan de Dios Hospital in Zaragoza and Fundación Ibercaja, with the collaboration of IAON and 4Elitech, brought together specialists in healthcare innovation, data protection, automation and digital transformation to analyze real-world applications of these technologies in clinical practice.
MORE AI TO IMPROVE HEALTHCARE
During the closing session, Aragón’s regional health minister, Ángel Sanz Barea, highlighted that artificial intelligence represents an opportunity to transform the healthcare system, particularly in areas such as diagnosis, process optimization, treatment personalization and improvements in the quality of care.
“We are immersed in a technological revolution that is set to shape the future of our healthcare systems,” Sanz said, defending the need to approach this innovation from a multidisciplinary perspective while taking into account the real needs of patients and professionals.
CYBERSECURITY AND DATA PROTECTION
The minister also stressed that this technological progress must be accompanied by security and privacy safeguards. “We will continue promoting technological innovation in our healthcare system, but without abandoning its essence: citizens’ trust, patient safety and the commitment of professionals,” he said.
Sanz defended Aragón’s ability to advance these innovation processes and called for stronger collaboration between institutions and professionals to build a more efficient and secure healthcare system without losing its human dimension. “The future of healthcare will not be built solely with algorithms. It will be built with knowledge, talent, responsibility and a firm commitment to public service,” he concluded.
