The Mobile World Congress is back in Barcelona on February 26th. In the framework of this important event, the Mobile Week Barcelona, between 15 and 24 of this month, a space to reflect on what constitutes the digital transformation that society is living. This space is articulated through dialogues (MWeekTalks) that have been carried out in the different centres of Barcelona, which stand out for their commitment to technology.This morning, Vall d'Hebron has hosted two MWeekTalks. One of these dialogues have been on "The power of science and the limits of life" and has counted with the participation, among other experts, of Dr. Joan Comella, director of the http://en.vhir.org/portal1/homepage.asp Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR). Dr. Comella has pointed out that "not all information about health is knowledge, in the sense that not all this information is thorough and comes from reliable sources." In this sense, pseudoscientific information that is around, for example, in social networks "is a problem." Dr. Comella has also stated that "part of the solution would be to educate children from a very small age" to learn how to filter out the reliable information of the non-reliable.One of the most interesting topics of this dialogue has been the increase in life expectancy. Jordi Camí, director of the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park, explained that "this factor results, in the last years of life, in the accumulation of many pathologies that can subtract a lot of quality of life." On this subject, Dr. Comella emphasized that we need to "put the patient in the centre of the health care system and the attention. A patient with prostate cancer, for example, no longer wants to just eliminate the disease, but he also wants to avoid the urinary incontinence or erectile dysfunction that may involve treatment, that is to say, he wants to have a good quality of life."About the dangers of new technologies, such as the CRISPR method, which allows to edit DNA, ángel Raya, Icrea researcher of the https://www.cmrb.eu/centre-investigacio/ca_personal.html Centre of Regenerative Medicine in Barcelona, has requested that it should be "society, not just scientists, who decide what we can do and what we cannot do, what are the limits we have to mark, since, for example, there are countries where parents can choose the sex of their future son, and in other places, like Spain, it can't be done."With regard to the second of the dialogues that has been hosted in Vall d'Hebron, on "The impact of digital technologies in medicine," the experts have put together the possibilities offered by telemedicine and robotic surgery. For example, Alícia Casals, of the Centre for Research in Biomedical Engineering from the UPC, explained "that thanks to the robotic surgery we will be able to perform interventions at a distance." In addition, the Internet of things could have a very important role to ensure health, since it could put sensors on the elderly to help prevent falls.
