“Traveler, there is no path — the path is made by walking.” – Antonio Machado

In a world where technology has become a game changer, the following question arises: Could using AI alongside human expertise improve how we analyze patient data and treatment options? Agentic AI is an artificial intelligence system designed to operate with a degree of autonomy in decision-making and adaptability.

That’s precisely what Radu Orghidan will delve into at HEART 2025. His speech is based on his personal philosophy that we should create our own path, rather than follow predefined ones. In the case of AI advancement, he believes this message becomes even more powerful, as we are not just walking a path, we are actively shaping the future of medicine through the choices we make today.

He is a business consultant with a PhD in computer vision and an Executive MBA. Using his 3D reconstructions, physicians were able to better understand and manipulate virtual objects before, during or after surgical interventions. Furthermore, he used machine learning techniques for identifying areas of interest in 2D and 3D objects for patient surveillance and assistance using computer vision and mobile robotics. His perspective is enriched by the fact that he has lived across 3 continents.

Through this year’s theme, Queening the Pawn, we highlight that no game can be won by being mere bystanders, but by being active agents of change and innovation. Join Radu Orghidan in May and let’s walk the path to innovation together.
