Wearables in sports – yes or no?

Dear Sir or Madam,

Do you run, swim or cycle to relax after work? For the triathlete Sebastian Kienle, winner of the Ironman Hawaii 2014, these three sports are work. And do you use technical aids like wearables to measure your performance? Kienle uses them, but in our interview, he also tells us when he rather listens to the signals from his body than to data.

Stay fit!

Radiology is a field that produces large volumes of data, which can no longer be managed without the help of intelligent systems. This is especially true when it comes to the interpretation of medical images. While this takes physicians years of training and experience, several hours of work and the highest level of concentration, artificial intelligence only requires a few seconds to accomplish the same task.
