Chile manages 400,000+ surgical waiting list records monthly. Cancer patients often remain invisible within this volume — despite facing 7.5x higher mortality than the rest. We built a sovereign in-house AI that screens oncological risk across all 29 national Health Services, flagging a high-risk group in hours instead of weeks. Sensitivity: 95%. Manual review burden cut 99.76%. No vendor, no black box: AI flags risk, humans decide. Every patient, every region, the same standard.

Ibagué faced two challenges: symbolic participation, with proposals often disappearing in paper-based processes, and fragmented manual reporting. “MiGestión” addresses these challenges through Lego® Serious Play® workshops, where citizens build their dream city while proposals are captured on tablets, validated on site, and georeferenced.

The primary responsibility of career counsellors is to conduct guidance activities to assist individuals in making choices, decisions, and preparations for their future occupations and careers. To support this mission, the Career Counselling Information System has been developed and made available to career counsellors.

The project proposes a system for extracting and analysing information from the medical records of breast cancer patients, using artificial intelligence. This would support research, personalised medicine and health decision-making, benefiting clinicians and regional authorities. This provides an automated alternative to accelerate translational research, promote personalised medicine and improve the efficiency of health services.
