At the Noelia Foundation we participate in different events to make the disease visible:<\/p>\n

II Conference on Minority Diseases<\/strong>, at the 12 de Octubre Hospital in Madrid.<\/p>\n

Maria, mother of a ColVI sufferer, and representing the Noelia Foundation, participated in these sessions that took place at the 12 de Octubre Hospital in Madrid.<\/p>\n

They explored the applications of artificial intelligence in the care of patients with rare diseases and analyzed the latest developments in rare cardiological, neurological and oncological diseases. Improving care for those who suffer from these pathologies and the importance of their visibility was also discussed.<\/p>\n

It was a multidisciplinary and collaborative day, a day to contribute to progress in addressing rare diseases!<\/p>\n
