In Europe, about 225 million people aged 15-74 are economically active and employed.

The new MOBOTIX camera platform, jointly developed with Konica Minolta, is based on the distributed intelligence in our camera system and is crucial for artificial intelligence and at the same time the key for the communication of our products with other sensors and devices in the network to enable "Beyond Human Vision" solutions. The state-of-the-art analysis methods located on the camera itself helps users increase process efficiency and develop new business and revenue models. Future software updates will enable completely new functions based on deep learning methods, such as the recognition of human behavior, moods or voices. In order to make this possible, a so-called "plug-in concept" is being further developed that goes far beyond what is available on competing products. This allows customers to easily create new features similar to developing apps for mobile devices while taking full advantage of the system's performance, including full CPU and GPU power and programmable logic.

There was more to see and learn than one mortal can absorb in a week, but this edition of Radiology Today's annual 5 Things to Watch will attempt to slice some of the notable news and trends from RSNA 2018 into manageable portions. I'll get the Captain Obvious part of this article out of the way by noting that AI was once again a hot topic. What I found interesting, however, is that the discussion is beginning to move from the "what" phase to the "how" phase. To be more specific, there wasn't quite as much emphasis this year on what AI can do. Instead, there was decidedly more talk about how it can be integrated into radiology practice.

In addition to Workplace Hub, Konica Minolta Laboratory Europe is carrying out some of its research and development activities about the Cognitive Hub, an integrated platform that can learn, adapt and enable organisations to make more insightful and impactful decisions in areas such as investments, business models, new products and services. AI Summit Event Director, George Kipouros, is looking forward to the next event in the AI Summit Series. A number of leading organizations spanning finance, law, healthcare, manufacturing, transport, energy, education and many more are looking to implement the technologies or have already started. Beyond Konica Minolta, the conference programmes includes interesting keynotes on AI projects from JP Morgan, The Carlyle Group, Disney, Philips and many more. "AI is being implemented by leading organizations in a broad range of industries and we are very excited to host Konica Minolta alongside key industry names that include IBM Watson, Microsoft, Digitate, Publicis.
