As entire populations around the world slowly reoccupy the streets after months of uncertainty, medical staff face the traces of a still latent pandemic. Months’ worth of diagnoses regarding chronic illnesses have gone unnoticed due to a lack of advancement of the healthcare system to adjust to the digital lifestyle. The Journal of Young Investigators had the privilege to chat with Dr. Ana M. Wägner, here main collaborator in the European project “Watching the Risk Factors (WARIFA)”, which aims to break the virtual barrier in healthcare by providing individualized early risk prediction using AI.

Dr. Jadavji serves as the chair of the board of directors for the Journal of Young Investigators. Her relationship with JYI, however, spans a decade into the past. As an undergraduate, Dr. Jadavji started off her relationship with JYI in the Research Department as the Associate Editor.
