AI in public health – Innovations, ethics and the road ahead, with Eric Sutherland

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a source of great hope in healthcare. Properly applied, it has the potential to analyse images and data faster and more accurately than human beings. Its ability to perform administrative tasks can also free up medical professionals to dedicate more time to their patients. But AI comes with certain risks. What data is being used? Can AI respect privacy when handling personal health data? Can we really entrust our health to machines? The EDQM’s 60th anniversary conference, held on 11-12 June 2024, featured talks and discussions on a wide range health topics, including from Eric Sutherland, Senior Health Economist at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In this episode, Eric shares his insights into the developing field of AI in healthcare, addressing topics such as digital health, policy guidance and responsible analytics. Hosted by Ausha.

EDQM and COVID-19 – Rising to the challenge of a global crisis

The SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, triggered a global pandemic on a staggering scale in 2020. In the course of just a few months, it brought entire societies to a near standstill with trade, travel, transportation and countless other vital sectors deeply impacted. Public health systems worldwide bore an enormous burden and were stretched to the limit. The pharmaceutical industry scrambled to develop treatments like antivirals and vaccines to avert worst-case scenarios and prevent the spread of the virus. The pandemic highlighted just how important the EDQM’s mission is to ensure high standards in public health protection. Due to the resourcefulness of its staff and its extensive networks of experts, partners and stakeholders, the EDQM played a crucial role in the fight against COVID-19. In the episode, Catherine Milne, Gwenaël Cirefice and Pierre Leveau from the EDQM explain how. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Protected every step of the way – The work of the EDQM on consumer health protection

Picture this scene: Chloe and her daughter, Sarah, are preparing for a relaxing Sunday in the park. They pack a picnic, put on sunscreen and head out. Chloe recently got a tattoo, so she was careful not to expose it to the sun. After a nice day out, they head back home. Sarah plays with her toys and Chloe takes a relaxing bath, using her favourite skincare products. Do either of them know that the EDQM, thanks to its consumer protection activities, was looking out for them every step of the way? From food contact materials and cosmetics to tattoo inks and special guidelines to protect children, the EDQM strives to protect consumers from toxic and unsafe substances. François-Xavier Lery, Head of the EDQM Pharmaceutical and Consumer Care Section, tells us how. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

EDQM on Air - Transplantation – A story of hope and courage Interview with Liz Schick Liz Schick, president of the World Transplant Games Federation, shares her deeply personal and truly inspirational story.

She discusses her reactions to her first diagnosis, the documentary a friend made of her pre- and post-transplant life, and what it means to her to keep active and do good in the face of adversity. She also shares her experience as a speaker at the EDQM’s 60th anniversary conference in June 2024. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
