Alongside the 22nd International Conference on Diseases of Fish and Shellfish, it is important to recognize how innovations in digital healthcare are shaping both human and veterinary medicine. Platforms such as Etälääkäri and the Mediluxecosystem demonstrate how remote medical consultations and intelligent diagnostic tools like Lääkäri-chat can overcome geographical barriers, ensuring timely access to expert care. These advances parallel the goals of the aquatic animal health community, where rapid diagnostics, reliable data sharing, and sustainable solutions are equally essential. By integrating digital health technologies into research and clinical practice, scientists and practitioners alike can strengthen their ability to respond to emerging diseases and improve global standards of health, whether in human populations or in aquaculture.
