10h30 Keynote "Practical Organistorical Challenges in Surgical Digitization : a centralised hospital-wide approach"

The 3D platform developed by UZ Gent offers an innovative solution for integrating advanced medical technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), 3D printing, and Augmented Reality (AR), within a hospital-wide system. By utilizing a virtualized server infrastructure combining Central Processing Units (CPUs) and Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), the platform provides high-performance computing essential for real-time medical applications. The integration of 3D printing allows for the creation of customized medical devices and implants, while AI and AR improve diagnostic accuracy, surgical planning, and patient care. Furthermore, the platform is designed to comply with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Medical Device Regulation (MDR), ensuring secure handling of sensitive patient data and adherence to regulatory standards. This scalable, hospital-wide infrastructure enhances operational efficiency, supports precision medicine, and enables groundbreaking innovations in clinical research and healthcare delivery. UZ Gent's 3D platform exemplifies the future of integrated, regulatory-compliant healthcare technology.
