DT4REGIONS Ideathon: AI potential in Preventive Health Care

DT4REGIONS Ideathon: AI potential in Preventive Health Care

In October 2022, ERRIN's DT4REGIONS project in cooperation with the Helsinki-Uusimaa Regional Council will organise four ideathon workshops for Artificial Intelligence Potential in Preventive Healthcare. We are looking for new ideas how to use AI for preventive healthcare – awards are waiting for the best ones!

What is an ideathon? An ideathon is an open innovation event, where bright minds come together to produce innovative ideas in a thematic area.


Four ideathon events on Artificial Intelligence Potential in Preventive Healthcare will be organised during October 2022. We invite you to pick your date(s).

Smart use of AI powered health data contents is a great opportunity to improve public health system efficacy. Especially, allowing improved interoperability between social services interventions data and primary healthcare data offers a possibility to mitigate workload of the personnel as well as improve the quality of care. Sustainable, connected and AI powered processes can be utilized on various levels of public care and support functions. In the context of preventive healthcare, AI can improve the accuracy and quality of treatment, or slower the development of disease or even prevent some health issues occurring.

Advancements in sensor technology and machine learning will radically improve our ability to continuously gather data on public health, accurately predict individual risk factors, and measure the impact of preventative care on the health of individuals and society at large. We’ll be able to deliver better, more personalised care, improving outcomes and efficiency.” – KIN+CARTA
