Abstract

<p>Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death across Europe and globally, with cancer ranking as the second most fatal health concern. This article highlights the urgent need for an integrated technological approach to address these critical health challenges. While traditional medical systems in hospitals and clinics have made significant strides, emerging Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) offer transformative potential in health monitoring, early risk detection, and clinical decision-making. The World Health Organization emphasizes that a robust health data integration strategy must extend beyond a patient’s medical history to include age, genetics, physical attributes, lifestyle, and social interactions.</p>
<p>Advanced ICT services—such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, wearable sensors, and mobile applications—are increasingly capable of collecting and analyzing multidimensional health data. These tools support the development of personalized decision-support systems that enhance early disease prediction, prevention, and intervention strategies. They also improve the accuracy and responsiveness of medical personnel by expanding their understanding of disease progression and patient-specific variables.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies—including machine learning, deep learning, and computational neuroscience—offers powerful data analytics capabilities. AI-driven systems can analyze complex datasets to predict individual risk factors associated with variables like diet, environment, and genetics. These technologies enable healthcare stakeholders to gain actionable insights, ultimately improving diagnosis, treatment, and patient outcomes.</p>
<p>This paper argues that integrating AI with multidimensional health data and ICT infrastructure provides a scalable, intelligent foundation for addressing modern healthcare challenges, especially in combating cardiovascular diseases and cancer. It calls for a holistic, technology-driven healthcare paradigm that prioritizes data integration, patient-centered care, and predictive health analytics</p>
