How AI Could Be a Complementary Tool in Healthcare

Elena Ikonomosvka | TEDxKULeuvenBrussels

Elena shares the deeply personal story that led her to reimagine the future of medicine. After being dismissed by doctors despite worsening symptoms, she turned to AI not as a last resort but as an evolutionary partner. Through compelling examples, Elena reveals how artificial intelligence can empower individuals to uncover hidden health risks, advocate for better care, and shift healthcare from reactive treatment to proactive insight. This talk is a powerful call to action: to become informed, take ownership of our health, and embrace the future of patient-empowered precision medicine.
