Prince Albert inaugurates e-HealthWorld Monaco

Prince Albert inaugurated this year’s e-HealthWorld Monaco event at the Fairmont, where hundreds of medical professionals came together in the name of innovation, technology and health. Highlights of the fair included a virtual reality simulation created so users can practice surgery on a virtual human body. ‘Twin Medical’ allows learners to undergo the intricate, technical procedures of a surgery, as well as more subtle interactions with medical staff, nurses and anesthetists.

Pepper, the humanoid robot created to help patients, was back at the event this year.  Standing at one meter twenty, Pepper can converse with and understand humans, help patients with pre-diagnosis, medical reminders and tips and transmit important videos from doctors to patients.

Princess Caroline at e-HealthWorld event Supporting Pregnant women in Africa

Princess Caroline visited the e-HealthWorld salon, dedicated to new technologies in the medical field. The 2018 edition of the event looked at how new technologies can help pregnant women in Africa. In places where there are no doctors, for example, help and advice can be remotely transmitted to midwives with a smartphone. This notion of exchange between Africa and other countries attracted the attention of Princess Caroline. She took part in the exchanges between a group of specialists behind the ‘Zero Mothers Die’ app and the public. Every day, 800 women die from pregnancy-related problems. The app’s goal is to fight against maternal mortality through mobile technology.

Prince Albert inaugurates congress about LPG fuel alternatives

Prince Albert inaugurated the International Congress on Liquefied Petroleum Gases at the Grimaldi Forum, an opportunity to take a closer look at fuels and gases which are better for the environment.

Liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) is a mixture of light hydrocarbons, composed of butane and propane, and represents an alternative to traditional fuels.  According to Jaume Loffredo, policy manager for the organizing association, LPGs are a sustainable solution in the fight against climate change and air pollution.  The AEGPL congress was held in Monaco for the first time ever.
