Developments that include artificial intelligence will also be presented at this year's conference, from the field of imaging to heart failure, where artificial intelligence tools are used to monitor patients in hospitals and at home, such as that of the Cordio company that uses artificial intelligence to analyze the patient's speech to diagnose a deterioration in his condition.
