Homo Digitalis participates in the Panhellenic Conference “Hematology as an Interdisciplinary Meeting Point: From the Algorithm to the Human”
What does it mean to put the Human above the Algorithm? This question lies at the heart of the Panhellenic Conference “Hematology as an Interdisciplinary Meeting Point: From the Algorithm to the Human”, organized by the Interdisciplinary Society for Research in Hematology on March 26–28, 2026, in Ioannina.
Three days of free debates, AI workshops, interdisciplinary sessions, and open discussions on topics that are rarely spoken about openly — from toxic behavior in hospitals to patients’ rights in the age of data.
We warmly thank hematologist and Associate Professor of Hematology at the School of Health Sciences, Department of Medicine, University of Ioannina, Eleftheria Chatzimichail, for the honorable invitation to Homo Digitalis and other members of the Greek AI Network (GAIN) to participate.
Our member, Dimos Kostoulas, will represent Homo Digitalis at the event.
The countdown has begun, and we look forward to seeing you there!
