The Cyberspace Congress
(CyberCon 2025)
November 2025, Online
Topic: AI-Driven Precision Medicine: From Genomics to Personalized Healthcare in Cyberspace
Abstract:
The convergence of artificial intelligence, genomics, and digital health technologies is revolutionizing healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. This keynote presents a comprehensive overview of how AI-driven precision medicine is transforming clinical practice, from molecular diagnostics to personalized treatment planning and continuous health monitoring in the digital realm.
We will explore cutting-edge applications of deep learning in genomic sequence analysis, multi-omics data integration, and drug discovery. The talk will examine how federated learning enables privacy-preserving collaboration across healthcare institutions, allowing the development of robust predictive models without compromising patient data security. Special attention will be given to AI-powered early disease detection systems, including cancer screening, cardiovascular risk prediction, and neurodegenerative disease monitoring.
The presentation will also address critical challenges including algorithmic bias in healthcare AI, regulatory frameworks for AI medical devices, ethical considerations in genetic data usage, and the digital divide in healthcare access. Case studies from our Global Health AI Initiative will demonstrate successful implementations in both developed and resource-limited settings, highlighting the potential for AI to democratize access to high-quality healthcare worldwide.
Key innovations to be discussed include: explainable AI for clinical decision support, digital twins for personalized treatment simulation, AI-enhanced telemedicine platforms, and blockchain-secured health data management systems.
