For example the use of Check4Cancer's app and AI model to accelerate skin cancer diagnosis.     **What's your biggest fear around the application of AI/tech in the healthcare field?**   That it wont happen quick enough due to delays in the medical device regulatory process and the current lack of mutual MDR regulation between UK, Europe & North America.     **Who do you admire most in the world of healthcare? **   Professor Andrew Beggs, Consultant colorectal surgeon & cancer geneticist, University of Birmingham Dr Luke James, Workforce Health Leader, Mercer Marsh Benefits     **About Gordon Wishart**   **![Gordon Wishart](https://blog.intelligenthealth.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Gordon%20Wishart.jpg?width=192&height=288&name=Gordon%20Wishart.jpg)**   Professor Gordon Wishart is the founder, Chief Medical Officer & CEO at Check4Cancer, as well as Visiting Professor of Cancer Surgery at Anglia Ruskin University.     **Global AI events calendar**   **Intelligent Health** 11-12 September 2024 Basel, Switzerland [intelligenthealth.ai](https://intelligenthealth.ai/)   **World Summit AI ** 09-10 October 2024 Amsterdam, Netherlands [worldsummit.ai](https://worldsummit.ai/)   **World AI Week ** 07-11 October 2024 Amsterdam, Netherlands [worldaiweek.ai](https://worldaiweek.ai/)   **World Summit AI MENA** 10-11 December 2024 Doha, Qatar [qatar.worldsummit.ai](https://qatar.worldsummit.ai/)   ##### Share your content with the Intelligent Health community Got some interesting content you want to share with our community of AI and health Brains?
