So Oliver, what excites you most about the application of AI in healthcare?

The promise of being able to deliver personalised care to everyone, whenever they need it. At the moment this is a significant trade-off in healthcare systems. Your clinician can provide great, personalised care to you, but sometimes it can be really hard to access a clinician, not without a long wait, and sometimes not at all.

We spoke to Mariam Shokralla, Digital Health consultant at the World Health Organization. She gave us her thoughts on AI in medicine ahead of her presentation at Intelligent Health (9-10 September 2020, Online), the world's largest online summit dedicated to AI in medicine.

So Mariam, what excites you most about the application of AI in healthcare?:

It's the potential to decrease health inequalities especially geographical inequalities. Ethically grounded AI solutions can help extend quality care to marginalized people, transform our health systems from being reactive to predictive and preventive, from Tertiary care to primary care especially to NCDs.

On July 5^th 1948, The National Health System was launched by Aneurin Bevan, Minister of Health, at Park Hospital in Manchester (today known as Trafford General Hospital). For the first time, hospitals, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, opticians and dentists were brought together under one umbrella to provide care for free.

The ongoing COVID-19 related shutdowns has had a profound impact on the electric demand profiles worldwide, as governments put strict mitigation and/or suppression measures in place. The global electrical demand has plummeted around the planet in the last few weeks, with countries such as Spain and Italy experiencing more than 20% decrease in their usual electric consumption. In view of such massive electric demand changes, electricity network operators are facing unprecedented challenges in scheduling energy resources, as short-term energy forecasting systems struggle to provide an accurate demand prediction.
