A Health Ecosystem for Transport Workers: Institutional Strategies for the Development of Medicine in the Digital Age

April, 3

11:00–12:30

Digitalization and the Future of Transport

Congress Centre, 2nd floor, conference hall B2

The healthcare system is undergoing monumental changes thanks to digital transformation, the introduction of breakthrough medical technologies, and the transition to a new predictive preventive model. Significant changes are also taking place in the transport sector – high-speed railways, driverless vehicles, the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and comprehensive digitalization are radically changing the job profile for numerous professions. Most workers have to deal with a complex work schedule, uncertainty, a stressful environment, and overwork, which impacts both their physical and mental health. The United Nations has named workplace stress as a global problem, a plague of the 21st century. According to the Russian Public Opinion Research Centre, 90% of Russians have experienced stress at various times, with 34% feeling stressed about their work. These changes create fundamentally different requirements for the physical and mental health and reliability of transport workers. The key challenge is to proactively adapt the healthcare system to the new reality and create a portrait of the worker of the future, one who can work effectively and safely in the face of technological transformation. What does the transport worker of the future look like? And what steps should be taken now to ensure that 2035 is a time of both technical and human progress?
