As a sponsor of the event what are your views on MedFIT’s 6^th edition? Also, what motivated you to make this commitment of becoming a sponsor?
Healthcare and MedTech is a key industry vertical for AIShield’s innovation led patented ‘cybersecurity for AI’ offering. We were looking for an innovation focussed event where the participants are leveraging emerging technology such as AI to transform digital heath and and MedFit gave us the right platform.

Furthermore, you generously decided to support the pitch sessions by granting the winners a prize worth €50,000 in credit for your solution. How important is it for you to back young innovative companies and why?
We are on a mission to secure the AI systems of the world. The start-ups like Panakeia and Niramai have developed cutting solutions leveraging AI for molecular analysis and breast screening. We believed that AIShield should contribute to their journey and success via AIShield solution credits. This would help them ensure their AI system security and maintain competitive advantage.

And what role do you think AI will play in the MedTech industry?
AI adoption is ever increasing in the MedTech industry. Specially after COVID, many connected medical devices have moved from hospitals to home. AI is seen as an assistive technology to increase efficiency, patient care and faster diagnosis. What we must together ensure is that these AI enabled Medical Devices are high performance, safe and secure for patient safety, privacy and regulation compliant.
