Interview with Ángel Blanco, CIO at Quirónsalud
The digital transformation of the Quirónsalud group, led by Ángel Blanco, CIO of the group, demonstrates how technology can redefine the relationship between patients and healthcare professionals. This process, which began more than a decade ago, has had a clear purpose: to improve the patient experience and increase the efficiency of the system through online care, transparency and anticipation of medical needs. The key has been to put the patient at the centre, promoting more agile, personalised and sustainable care.
Healthcare sustainability has become a strategic focus. Digitising processes reduces time, avoids unnecessary travel and lowers the carbon footprint, allowing professionals to devote more time to diagnosis and personalised care. In Blanco’s words, ‘efficiency is the best guarantee of sustainability’, a philosophy that connects with Babel‘s commitment to integrating responsible technology that improves people’s lives.
The future of the sector lies in artificial intelligence applied to healthcare. At Quirónsalud, more than two million consultations already incorporate algorithms that support doctors in data analysis, automate processes and promote a more human doctor-patient relationship. Thus, generative AI and digitalisation become strategic allies for a more efficient, collaborative and accessible healthcare system, in line with our vision: to drive purposeful technological innovation and put intelligence at the service of people.
