Abstract
GARCIA ESQUIROL, Óscar. Future of medical education: artificial intelligence and big data. FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2015, vol.18, suppl.1, pp.s60-s61. ISSN 2014-9840. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S2014-98322015000300009.
Digital medicine can be a solution to current health care problems. This is the setting in which Teckel Medical was born - a company devoted to the development of medical software based on artificial intelligence (AI). Its Mediktor app is the world's first advanced symptom evaluator, capable of recognizing natural language so that users can express themselves in their own words. It runs through a medical query session until it concludes with a list of possible diseases associated with the reported symptoms. Mediktor's AI, together with gamification techniques, can be used in education in order to enhance teaching. Universitat de Barcelona-Hospital Clínic and Mediktor have joined forces to develop a training, information and evaluation tool aimed at medical students. The goal is to create an attractive teaching tool that encourages its use by the student. The revolution in medical training has begun.
