Innovative digital tools are reshaping how hospitals manage surgical pathways. This edition explores how a smart waiting list system helps clinicians distinguish low-risk from high-risk patients, significantly reducing appointment times and improving patient flow. Also featured: mathematicians devise a new way to protect medical imaging data against cyberattacks, experts envision what AI-driven radiology might look like in 2050, and GLP-1 weight loss drugs show promise in preventing complications after myocardial infarction. Enjoy reading!
