Digital respiratory medicine – realism vs futurism


3–4 June, 2021 | Online

The European Respiratory Society (ERS) Presidential Summit 2021 streamed live over two days using a specially designed virtual platform.

On day one of the Summit, we examined the current digital tools that can be used in respiratory healthcare, while day two focused on growth areas and future aspects of digital health, such as big data and artificial intelligence as well as ethical considerations, regulation, and policy.

The Summit has been awarded 8 CME credits. Participants will be informed on how to claim CME credits soon.

All times listed are Central European Summer Time (CEST). Click on a speaker’s name to view their presentation.
