Fabian Theis Featured in FOCUS Online at DLD 2026
How AI Can Support Doctors and Improve Access to Healthcare
MCML PI Fabian Theis was featured in an interview with FOCUS online at DLD Munich 2026, discussing how artificial intelligence can transform medicine.
Fabian highlighted how AI can help make diagnosis and treatment more accessible, efficient, and personalized, for example by supporting the interpretation of complex medical data such as blood tests. He also shared his vision of a “Virtual Human” as a digital model spanning molecules, cells, organs, and the whole body to enable better predictions and personalized care.
Rather than replacing doctors, AI should support them by reducing administrative workload and giving them more time for patients. Used responsibly, Fabian emphasized, AI can empower both medical professionals and patients alike.
