The 172 ESGI is co-organized by the Spanish Network of Mathematics and Industry (math-in) and the Spanish math-in Platform for Modeling, Simulation and Optimization Technologies in a Digital Environment (PET MSO-ED). Promoted by the PET-MSO-ED Working Group (WG) of Challenge 1: Health, Demographic Change and Well-being, it will focus on responding to challenges identified by the group to optimize health resources and contribute to the sustainability of the Spanish health system.

The challenges posed to this 172 ESGI are the following:

1) Develop an application to improve the efficiency of pre-diagnosis in ophthalmology, in order to improve the referral of outpatients in primary care to a specialty center. Proposed by the Hospital of San Juan de Dios Aljarafe (Seville)

2) Develop a predictive data tool that allows predicting the hospital discharge of patients operated on based on conditions that improve the management of the hospital bed resource. Proposed by the Hospital of San Juan de Dios Aljarafe (Seville)

3) Develop an algorithm for the segmentation and automatic guidance of the intervention by cryoablation of desmoid tumors. Proposed by the University Hospital of Son Espases (Palma, Balearic Islands)
