AI in Rheumatology: Insights from Berlin with Diego Benavent on the Future of Digital Care
Welcome back to the Digital Rheumatology Network podcast, recorded live from Berlin at the 7th Digital Rheumatology Days meeting. In this episode, we sit down with Diego Benavent from Barcelona, Spain, who presented on the role of artificial intelligence in rheumatology during the event.
We explore how AI could transform clinical practice — from improving patient literacy and access to care, to the potential impact of tools like language models and natural language processing. Together, we reflect on what’s already emerging, what’s realistic in the near future, and how these innovations could reshape rheumatology as we know it.
