In his speech, Dr. Muharrem Usta, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, said, “When we use the word digital, we must first consider data, and then software and algorithms. For us, data will always be at the forefront of our priorities. Since medicine is individual, data should also become more individualized”.

Mentioning that doctors and nurses alike should be aware of these trends, Usta continued, “ In the world of artificial intelligence, we need to know what data we need and build on that. It is therefore of great importance that we design and develop our own systems. The history will mention those who shape the new world.”
