Based on 27 years of history in childhood lung diseases, Professor Tiddens will discuss a number of issues in the current care for chronically ill patients at the Science Café. He will discuss the role that AI can play in solving these problems. Central to this is the question to what extent AI will determine the role of the physician in the years to come.
After his medical exam in 1985, Harm Tiddens (1956) followed a pediatrician course in Utrecht.
