FUTURE OF MEDICINE

ARTIFICIAL intelligence (AI) is at the forefront of modern medicine, offering solutions to longstanding challenges across diagnostics, treatment, and drug discovery. In Spain, this technological revolution is gaining momentum, with several institutions and companies leading the charge.

It comes as no surprise, as Spain has recently become one of the forerunners in global medical research, establishing itself as an international science and technology powerhouse.

Among Spain’s recents achievements are digital hearts used to quickly and cheaply test new treatments, AI models to develop new medicines and robot counsellors to help patients make important medical decisions.

Elem’s supercomputer achieves in just nine hours what would take a human 57 billion years to calculate, offering faster, cheaper, and more sophisticated medical solutions.

The company’s ultimate ambition is to model the entire human body digitally, opening new possibilities for personaliSed medicine.

Predicting risk with AI

The Barcelona Supercomputing Centre isn’t stopping at virtual hearts.

The research centre has developed an AI model capable of predicting stroke risk using data from mobile devices.

This innovation could significantly improve early intervention and prevention strategies, allowing healthcare providers to identify at-risk individuals and offer timely treatment.

By using the widespread accessibility of mobile technology, this breakthrough represents a major step towards more inclusive and proactive healthcare.

These remote monitoring systems powered by AI allow continuous tracking of patients’ vital signs, enabling timely interventions.

Chatbots and virtual assistants also help patients manage their symptoms more effectively.

Drug discovery and clinical trials

AI is also transforming drug research with Barcelona-based Biorce recently securing €3.5 million to enhance clinical trials using AI, streamlining processes and increasing efficiency. Developing new drugs has become notoriously slow and expensive, and rising costs and tighter regulations have slowed development to a crawl.

AI offers a way to reverse that trend, ensuring life-saving new treatments reach patients faster.

Biorce’s AI model ‘Jarvis’ will reduce costs and shorten timeframes for drug development. It achieves this by helping patients find and understand the requirements for relevant clinical trials, while aiding researchers in the search for eligible participants.

The AI database is a user-friendly solution including over 480,000 clinical trials, streamlining the research

I’LL DRINK TO THAT

MODERATE wine drinking may benefit heart health according to researchers at the University of Barcelona. They found drinking a small glass a day could reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by up to 50% for those following a Mediterranean diet.

The study, part of a larger investigation into the celebrated diet, included 1,232 people at risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Researchers used urine samples to

measure tartaric acid levels, a natural substance in grapes and wine, as an objective indicator of wine consumption. Results showed that light-to-moderate wine consumption (half to one glass per day) was associated with a 50% lower risk of cardiovascular issues.

A coffee a day... but NOT all day!

PEOPLE who drink coffee in the morning have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease compared to those who drink it throughout the day.

The research, by Tulane University, studied 40,725 adults between 1999 and 2018. Compared to people who did not drink coffee, those who consumed it in the morning were 16% less likely to die from any cause and 31% less likely to die from cardiovascular disease. They also fared considerably better against all-day drinkers.

Worrying trend

SPANIARDS are getting more reliant on drugs to combat anxiety and insomnia with usage tripling in under two decades. The use of drugs like lorazepam and diazepam has tripled since 2008 according to a report by the University of Santiago de Compostela. It found that one in five people between 15 and 64 regularly take hypnosedative medication.

BEST FOOT FORWARD

TAKING short breaks while walking could actually increase the amount of calories burnt.

According to a Milan University study, walking or climbing stairs in 10 to 30 second intervals requires 20 to 60% more oxygen than continual activity. This means you burn more calories and will be good news for those who struggle to walk without resting.

Meanwhile, a study by Complutense University in Madrid has found that a short brisk walk after a meal can help diabetics reduce blood sugar levels by 17%.

Around 5.1 million Spaniards have type 2 diabetes and the numbers are rising, due to poor diets.

Beyond clinical applications, AI is streamlining healthcare administration by managing electronic health records, scheduling, and reducing paperwork, thus taking some of the burden from already stretched healthcare systems.

Ethical and practical challenges

Despite AI’s potential, ethical concerns and regulatory hurdles remain challenging.

Data privacy, ethical considerations, and the need for robust human oversight are some of the issues researchers are working to overcome. Moreover, models like ChatGPT, while promising, are not yet suitable for direct medical use. Researchers at Harvard and Stanford University highlight significant gaps between AI’s performance in standardised tests and real-world scenarios. The Assessment and Validation of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare frameworks (EVIAS) aims to address these issues within Spain, ensuring AI algorithms meet efficacy and safety standards before deployment in clinical practice.

The future of AI in medicine

Combining human expertise and

AI will create a healthcare system that is smarter, more efficient, and tailored to individual needs.

Pioneering initiatives in Barcelona showcase AI’s potential to revolutionise healthcare while addressing critical challenges through frameworks like EVIAS.

As AI technology continues to advance, its influence on medical practice is set to grow, offering innovative solutions to emerging global healthcare issues such as aging populations and resource constraints.

By streamlining processes and optimising outcomes, AI could help ease the pressures on overstretched healthcare systems worldwide.

YEAR OF BREAKTHROUGHS

ROM face transplants to robot surgeons, Spain has achieved many medical discoveries and innovations over the last year.

The country is becoming a world leader in scientific research and last year, it overtook Germany as the European forerunner of clinical trials.

Spain is proactively investing in research centres, healthcare structure and commercial partnerships, leading to this rise in medical research.

It is also faster at recruiting research participants and performs more single-country research than most European countries.

One of the most impressive feats of the year was a pioneering face transplant carried out in Barcelona’s Hospital Universitario de Bellvitge last September. It was one of the world’s first to extract tissue from a donor in controlled asystole.

This is a way of manually stopping the heart of a patient with no hope of recovery for the purpose

of organ donation, providing an opportunity to retrieve organs that would otherwise be lost after natural death.

It was the first time in the world this kind of organ retrieval allowed for the extraction of the heart, face, and kidneys.

Now, the hospital is one of only 18 across the globe to have carried out the complex operation, since France achieved the first in 2005. The operation lasted 12 hours and included over 60 professionals from at least 10 different medical and surgical departments.

It was led by Dr. Anna Lopez Ojeda and Dr. Oriol Bermejo alongside Dr. Gabriel Moreno Gonzalez.

The 47-year-old patient was suffering from type

Urgent situation at A&Es

SPAIN’S health system is dealing with record numbers of patients swamping A&E departments.

A report from the Ministry of Health shows a staggering 31 million A&E visits in 2022 alone - the highest ever recorded.

But while casualty departments are bursting at the seams, hospital admissions have plummeted to just 9% - the lowest in a decade.

Experts blame the chaos

on sky-high waiting lists and a health system at breaking point.

One doctor told El Pais the ‘deterioration’ of healthcare is forcing desperate Spaniards to turn to A&E as a last resort.

The number of people rushing to casualty has rocketed by 17% since 2013, with private hospitals seeing a whopping 46% surge.

Doctors are now suggest-

ing patients should be charged for non-emergency A&E visits.

Pediatrician Roi Piñeiro said: "We can't blame patients, but maybe it's worth charging them if it's not a real emergency - like the fire service does."

With GP waiting times stretching to 17 days in some areas, experts warn Spain's ageing population could push services to breaking point.

1 neurofibromatosis, a hereditary condition causing benign tumours in the nervous tissue. He had a large tumour on the side of his face, leading to severe aesthetic, psychological, social and functional issues.

To remove the tumour, the surgeons had to completely remove his upper lip, nose, right eyelid, the right half of his face and scalp. They then implanted the donor's face, connecting arteries, veins, and nerves.

The transplanted face will gradually take the shape of the recipient’s face as it adjusts to his bone structure.

It follows a European first carried out last June, where the Hospital Universitario Virgen de las Nieves, in Granada, gave a 16 month old girl an artificial palate.

The palate tissue was designed and generated by a team at the University of Granada, the same group that created artificial skin now authorised by the Spanish Medicines Agency.

Created over 12 years ago, UGRSKIN has only been used up until now as a last resort, experiential therapy.

Now burn units can receive specialist training to use the pioneering technology.

The 4 All Fitness Gym takes a new look at keeping fit

FORGET the image of an old-style gym with muscle men pumping iron… because that's not the concept behind the 4 All Fitness Gym in La Cala de Mijas.

When you walk in, you see a brand new, fresh, clean, and modern set-up aimed at all ages.

The 500m2 centre's white decor gives the impression of light and space, helping to create a special atmosphere clearly seen by all the happy faces!

Opened just six months ago, it is the brainchild of husband and wife team Niklas and Katja Andersson. They opted for a fresh start here after moving to Spain from their native Sweden.

Niklas, with 30 years under his belt in martial arts and fitness training, said: “We wanted to move to a warmer country and experience a different culture.

“It's always been our passion to help and work with people,” he added.

What surprised the couple was the lack of gyms here with only around 30 covering the area.

“It's like going back 20 years,” said Niklas. “Back home a Swedish town would have around 40 such centres.”

The enthusiasm for the new project is clear to see and the couple’s mission is to boost fitness among all ages.

“Our centre is for everybody as we offer elite training as well as sessions for pensioners,” explained Niklas. “The gym experience should be fun and we keep things personal as we get to know all of our clients who have become friends with our staff.

“We want people to enjoy the atmosphere and it's lovely to see customers forging bonds with each other,” he added. Getting seniors involved has become an instant success as people are taught how to train and use their bodies properly which will help in say walking to the shops or having a round of golf.

“Keeping groups to a maximum of 10 people also means that whether they are seniors or learning martial arts, everybody feels they are in it together,” Niklas enthused.

Ultimately, he and Katja wanted something 'high-end and excellent space’, which anybody can enjoy with ‘a personal touch’. They’ve achieved that aim in a very short space of time.

SKIN SUCCESS: A Granada research team has created artificial skin approved by AEMPs

Germans Trias i Pujol in November.

The robot works 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to attend urgent surgeries.

Known as Da Vinci, the robot will be used alongside surgeons to provide greater accuracy and less trauma for patients.

So far, it has been a great success, decreasing the time spent in hospital and speeding up recovery.

“Emergency surgeons are not always experts in certain pathologies, so robotic surgery makes surgeons who do not have the maximum expertise better,” director of the new emergency surgery unit Jose M Balibrea told La Vanguardia Spanish scientists have also been at the forefront of groundbreaking cancer research.

Javier Cortes, a researcher at the International Breast Cancer Center (IBCC) found a treatment plan to increase survival of early-stage triple-neg-

ative breast cancer patients.

Alongside Queen Mary University London researcher Peter Schmid, he identified that using drugs to boost the immune system increases survival rates if given both before and after chemotherapy. Their research was recognised by the New England Journal of Medicine as one of the year’s ‘notable’ studies. Meanwhile in Madrid, a research team from the Hospital Infantil Niño Jesus has successfully created an injection to combat tumours in children.

Known as Celyvir, the treatment has taken its first steps to approval by the

Spanish Medicines Agency (AEMPs).

Injected directly into tumours, the medicine activates immune cells to fight against the cancer. It is one of three advanced therapies created in Madrid’s health system (SERMAS), alongside Alofisel and NC1.

Spanish hospitals have also begun to administer the world’s first vaccine against lung cancer. Developed by German company BioNTech, the BNT116 vaccine teaches the immune system to

attack lung cancer cells.

It is now being used at the Hospital Universitari i Politecnic La Fe in Valencia, as well as the Consorcio Hospitalario Provincial de Castellon as part of an international study.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide but this innovation is thought to significantly improve treatment outcomes and minimise side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy.

It is administered alone or in combination with another drug, cemiplimab. It is hoped that combining the two will lead to better treatment outcomes.

Overall, 2024 has been a great year for Spanish medical innovation. While clinical trials are dwindling around the world, the country has strengthened its offering, becoming a leader in the medical research industry.

SPAIN is set to get 10 new proton therapy units by 2026, boosting the country’s fight against cancer.

Unlike traditional radiotherapy, this treatment fires protons directly into tumours to prevent radiation spreading into surrounding healthy tissue. Currently, there are just two facilities which offer the therapy to private clients. But thanks to a €280 million donation from
