This congress will bring together pneumology, thoracic surgery and respiratory nursing experts from the Basque Country and Navarre, committed to scientific quality and innovation in the treatment of respiratory diseases
A benchmark event in the field of respiratory health, organised in collaboration with ENAPE (School of Pneumology and Respiratory Nursing): the most recent advances in diagnosis and treatment will be presented, promoting the exchange of knowledge and collaboration between professionals in the sector.
TECNALIA colleague Miguel Esteras will take part in the opening speech “Artificial Intelligence in Respiratory Health”, where he will address the transformative role of AI in the management of respiratory pathologies, including sleep disorders. He will highlight how AI can improve early detection, personalise treatments and optimise clinical management.
Topics of the SVNPAR-ENAPE Annual Congress
- How to use AI specifically to interpret pulmonary tests (spirometry, polysomnography)
- Predictive models to identify patients at high risk of COPD exacerbations or respiratory failure
- Systems that integrate multimodal data (genomic, environmental, lifestyle) to inform personalised therapies
- Use of low-cost wearables to improve accessibility to diagnoses
- Ethical and technical responsibilities in the use of AI in healthcare, from transparency and data privacy to validation in diverse clinical cohorts
- Future projections, such as the integration of AI in digital therapies and its potential to reduce healthcare costs through proactive prevention
Interdisciplinary collaboration
The talk will end with a reflection on the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to ensure that AI is not only technically and clinically sound, but also fair, accessible, reliable and transparent for all patients and professionals.
- TECNALIA works closely with the OSI Araba Sleep Functional Unit, led by Carlos Egea, on the development of AI-based solutions to diagnose and treat sleep disorders.
- This collaboration strengthens TECNALIA’s commitment to responsible innovation and a positive public health impact.
