AI serving medicine, a conference by SOPHiA GENETICS
“Genomics and radiomics, levers for patient-centred medical expertise”. That was the theme of the meeting held on 16 February at the Sofitel Casablanca Tour Blanche, on the initiative of SOPHiA GENETICS, a Swiss company and world leader in Data-Driven Medicine (medicine based on data). The mission and approach of SOPHiA GENETICS consist in relying on artificial intelligence to help clinicians better diagnose and treat their patients. And in rationalising the use of treatments for the sustainability of healthcare systems. Used by more than 920 hospitals in 77 countries, SOPHiA is today the technology of choice for clinicians performing genomic tests all over the world.
The objective of this meeting, which brought together more than 30 doctors (oncologists, surgeons, gynaecologists, geneticists, radiologists and biologists), was twofold. It sought to answer the questions: how can precision be brought to the diagnosis and treatment of patients? And how can the use of medicines be rationalised for the sustainability of healthcare systems?
Among the speakers, the meeting drew on the expertise of David Cox and Joaquim Garcia Para of SOPHiA GENETICS, Redouane EL Rhafri, Director General of Laboratoires Althea, and Sami Zerelli, Honorary Consul of Switzerland in Marrakech, who took part in his capacity as President of the non-profit association Cross Culture Solutions Morrocco.
