What you'll learn:

Drawing on digital biomarker research, multimodal data integration, and regionally networked care models, this presentation explores how AI can augment rather than replace dermatological expertise. 

Central themes include :

  • Real-world implementation of AI tools 
  • The role of wearables and remote monitoring in precision dermatology

What you'll learn:

  • How artificial intelligence is currently being used in healthcare and what clinicians can realistically expect in the near future. Drawing on frontline clinical experience and real-world AI deployments
  • How machine learning and large language models are influencing diagnosis, workflow, research, and patient engagement.
  • The opportunities AI creates, the limitations that remain, and the risks of over-automation. Particular emphasis will be placed on trust, safety, explainability, and the essential role of clinician oversight.
  • How AI can augment—rather than replace—clinical judgment and patient care.

Part 3 - Innovative Sun Care: AI’s Role in Sun Exposure Photo-Ageing Prevention for Youth

PELLACANI Giovanni
