We are delighted to announce that our partners from the European Respiratory Society (ERS) will be hosting the ERS Congress 2024 – an annual event that brings together the world’s respiratory experts to showcase all the latest advances in respiratory medicine and science. The ERS Congress 2024 will be held from 7–11 September in Vienna, Austria at RX Wien GmbH, Messeplatz 1, 1020 Vienna.
The ERS Congress 2024 programme will extensively cover the latest advances in research and clinical practice. The ERS has announced the ERS Congress theme for 2024 as ‘Humans and machines: getting the balance right’. The theme presents an opportunity within the broad programme to spotlight the hot topics in the priority area:
• The increasing role of artificial intelligence and digitalisation in all fields of pneumology (and medicine)
• The current and future role of humans in AI-supported medical care (including psychological, caring, humanitarian aspects).
• How machines affect the relations between patients and doctors?
• How healthcare systems, pathways and organisations will be changed by new technologies?
The congress programme will offer several sessions and learning opportunities under this theme. While highlighting the increasing role of AI and digitalisation in all fields of pneumology (and medicine), the programme will also delve into the current and future role of humans in AI-supported medical care, including the psychological and humanitarian aspects. It will consider how machines affect the relations between patients and doctors, and how healthcare systems, pathways and organisations will be changed by new technologies.
