The evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare can shift the route of automated, supervised and computer-aided diagnostic radiology. An extensive literature review was conducted to consider the potential of designing a fully automated, complete diagnostic platform capable of integrating the current medical imaging technologies. Adjuvant, targeted, non-systematic research was regarded as necessary, especially to the end-user medical expert, for the completeness, understanding and terminological clarity of this discussion article that focuses on giving a representative and inclusive idea of the evolutional strides that have taken place, not including an AI architecture technical evaluation. Recent developments in AI applications for assessing various organ systems, as well as enhancing oncology and histopathology, show significant impact on medical practice. Published research outcomes of AI picture segmentation and classification algorithms exhibit promising accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. Progress in this field has led to the introduction of the concept of explainable AI, which ensures transparency of deep learning architectures, enabling human involvement in clinical decision making, especially in critical healthcare scenarios. Structure and language standardization of medical reports, along with interdisciplinary collaboration between medical and technical experts, are crucial for research coordination. Patient personal data should always be handled with confidentiality and dignity, while ensuring legality in the attribution of responsibility, particularly in view of machines lacking empathy and self-awareness. The results of our literature research demonstrate the strong potential of utilizing AI architectures, mainly convolutional neural networks, in medical imaging diagnostics, even though a complete automated diagnostic platform, enabling full body scanning, has not yet been presented.

As the number of migrants arriving in Europe increases, host societies face the challenge of supporting their smooth integration, respecting their needs and recognizing their competencies. A key element for their new life is their integration in the labour market. This paper presents a platform which offers a set of tools that has been developed to support migrants to find their way into the labour market in EU countries. This set includes tools for skill assessment, artificial intelligence tools providing recommendations for jobs that match their personal skills and needs, tools for suggesting training paths and options to empower their candidacy, and easy-to-use tools for creating their CV/portfolio. We focus on the evaluation of this platform in real life settings in two countries (Greece and Spain), which is part of our co-creation approach. The results are very promising and show the satisfaction of the migrants. Additionally, they provide valuable insights for both those that develop such tools and those that can use them in their work/activities with the migrants (such as the non-governmental organisations and host authorities).
