Artificial Intelligence is transforming every aspect of modern society and is likely to have an enormous impact in the coming decades. AI is quickly becoming an integral part of modern medicine, having the potential to improve personal and global health, to reduce disparities between health systems in different countries and to contribute to personalized healthcare. AI algorithms and other applications powered by AI are being used to support medical professionals in clinical settings, to achieve advancements in healthcare for personalized medicine, clinical diagnosis investigations, robotic-assisted surgery, and supervisory activities in hospitals and clinics.
The AIMH 2023 Workshop will bring together scientists and practitioners interested in presenting research and exchanging views on how to make a better use of Artificial Intelligence, including Machine Learning, in novel applications for medicine and healthcare, how to better exploit these technologies to provide qualified solutions for prognosis, prevention, improved disease detection, rehabilitation and enhanced service delivery in modern medicine and healthcare.
A debate on future directions of research and development in the area will be organized by the end of the Workshop, giving the participants the possibility to share ideas and make new contacts.
AIMH 2023 will be held in Bucharest, Romania, on 24-25 May 2023, in conjunction with the 24th International Conference on Control Systems and Computer Science (CSCS 24) that will take place between 24-26 May 2023.

World Parkinson Congress 2023
2023-07-04 08:00 - 2023-07-07 17:00 | Barcelona, Spain
The triennial World Parkinson Congresses provide an international forum for basic scientists, clinical researchers, health care professionals, people with Parkinson’s and others to come together under one roof to discuss, learn, and engage in debate around the latest scientific discoveries, medical and comprehensive care practices related to Parkinson’s disease.
Unlike other scientific congresses, the World Parkinson Congress brings together all members of the Parkinson’s community. As an inclusive event, the WPC was founded on the belief that getting world leaders out of their professional silos and forcing a cross pollination of the scientific, clinical, rehabilitation, and advocacy communities would expedite the discovery of a cure and cultivate best treatment practices for this devastating disease.
Whether this cross pollination takes place in the audience at a scientific lecture, from the stage between the presenters, during poster talks, or at a small round table discussion, the take away is often the same – we need to evolve how we think when it comes to treatment for Parkinson’s and how to move forward together as a community to expedite research and get us closer to new treatments and ultimately a cure.

Brain Innovation Days
2023-10-26 - 2023-10-27 | Bruxelles, Bruxelles, Belgium
179 Million Europeans are currently living with brain disorders. This is to steady increase, as the population ages.
At some point of their life, one in three Europeans will live with a brain disease – neurological and mental alike. As a result, the estimations are that brain disorders account for up to 45% of total healthcare budgets. Therefore, this burden is expected to grow.
Despite the prevalence of brain disorders in Europe, a wide range of mental and neurological conditions has currently no disease-modifying treatment or cure. Developing treatments can significantly improve the lives of those living with brain disorders, but it is extremely challenging.
Compared to other disease areas, multiple factors hinder the pace of innovation in this field, including the complexity of the brain itself. As a result, brain treatments remain insufficient. In addition, research is disproportionally underfunded compared to other disease areas.
In conclusion, we believe enhanced multi-stakeholder engagement in the brain ecosystem is needed to foster dialogue, exchange knowledge, accelerate investment in research and innovation, facilitate business development and showcase on-going work.
The Brain Innovation Days were created to tackle these challenges.

We are glad to participate at this important meeting and present our main results. Our dissemination manager Valentina Tageo from Wise Angle will join the roundtable discussion “Personalised early risk prediction, prevention and intervention in brain diseases: challenges and opportunities of AI and Big Data technologies” arranged by BRAINTEASER Project in a session meant to establish synergies between like-minded projects such ALAMEDA, BRAINTEASER, LETHE Project and eMOTIONAL Cities, on Friday 27th October at 14:00 CET.

We look forward to your participation!

Panel: The ALAMEDA data collection journey: innovation and participatory design
ALAMEDA participates in the growing international efforts to promote the digital transformation of health provisioning for people living with neurological disorders. To this aim, it acknowledges the importance of continuous and preventive healthcare, in which individuals are accompanied continuously and unobtrusively by health monitoring technology. Thus, a novel combination of wearable devices and smartphone applications required for the desired analysis of motor, sleep, emotional and quality-of-life outcomes is introduced. In order to minimize obtrusiveness for patients and optimize the utility and accuracy of the insights obtained for medical professionals, they have been continuously engaged in the participatory design of the ALAMEDA system with an innovative shared decision-making approach.

ALAMEDA | Italian Stakeholder Workshop
2023-11-23 | Rome, Italy
Title: Technologies and AI for the Monitoring of Brain Diseases
ALAMEDA aims primarily to design and validate an innovative model for collecting, acquiring, and analyzing clinical data and patient-generated and/or self-reported data using sensors, mobile applications, and artificial intelligence. This model will enable continuous monitoring of neurological disease progression and treatment response, as well as accurately predict disease evolution and potential relapses. The diseases selected for testing the developed methods and technologies are multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke.
The project, set to conclude at the end of 2023, has brought together cross-disciplinary and complementary skills from various European countries, from neurology to data engineering and artificial intelligence, to the design and development of apps and sensors, scientific communication, and the active involvement of patients and healthcare professionals through participatory research methods inspired by the MULTI-ACT project, previously coordinated by FISM.
The workshop will take place on the morning (9:00-13:00) of Friday, November 24, 2023, in Rome during the AISM 2023 Campus (a meeting of the heads of association offices from Friday afternoon to Sunday) at the A.Roma Lifestyle Hotel, Via Giorgio Zoega 59 (and online). It aims to provide an overview of the results obtained from the ALAMEDA project and explore possible public-private synergies and collaborations with other complementary Italian initiatives and with the main players in the industry at both Italian and international levels. The goal is to establish synergies with Italian stakeholders interested in researching and validating accurate and reliable digital measures that can be adopted on a large scale for monitoring MS and its progression and to provide useful information for predicting the course of the disease and relapses, thus allowing for more effective personalization of therapies and rehabilitation pathways.
Furthermore, given the complementarity with the work carried out so far by the IMI Mobilise-D project, we will have the pleasure of hosting a presentation of its main results and discussing potential lines of cooperation.
