Generative AI as a catalyst for transformation in our clients
The emergence of OpenAI is causing a revolution. It is a topic widely discussed worldwide, yet there is a limited discussion on real-life cases where processes are enhanced, employees’ lives are made easier, or unimaginable data insights are obtained. At Tokiota, we are dedicated to assisting our clients in securely adopting Azure OpenAI, leveraging their own organizational data, and enhancing processes while increasing productivity. During the session, we will share insights on our approach, the architecture we employ, as well as two real-life case studies—one involving a Call Center and another featuring an automatic budgeting system.

ULYSSES: A Step Forward in AI and Big Data-Assisted Surgery
The increasing demand for complex invasive medical procedures, due to the rise of oncological and cardiovascular diseases, faces challenges such as high mortality rates and severe complications. Despite recent innovations like robotics and AI, these have not surpassed traditional surgery. In response, the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona and Quantion have launched the ULYSSES project, aiming to develop a digital tool that provides expert support in complex surgeries through danger zone detection, powered by AI and Big Data analysis. This tool, fed by clinical data, will allow constant human interaction and an ever-evolving AI system.
