# Dr. Diego Cesar Lerma Torres — Physician & AI Expert

> Dr. Diego Cesar Lerma Torres - Physician and Software Developer specializing in Artificial Intelligence applied to healthcare. Medical technology consultant in Guanajuato, Mexico.

Healthcare Technology Consultant.

## About Me

### Medical Practice

Physician and Surgeon from the University of Guanajuato, with a focus on comprehensive treatment that combines general medicine and advanced psychological techniques for holistic care.

### Healthcare Technology Consulting

Expert in implementing technology in the healthcare sector.

### Entrepreneurship

Founder of Neuroglia Solutions and creator of innovative projects like "TriageAI" and "Astrocyte" that optimize hospital processes with cutting-edge technology.

### University Professor

Professor of Health Technology, Medical Devices, and Regulatory Affairs at the University of Guanajuato (UG).

### Healthcare of the Future

We live in an era where AI can reshape brain architecture to trap people on social media, yet doctors in their offices still lack the basic tools to address our patients' most critical problems.

The true future of humanity is not where we're looking for it. We need to apply every new technological breakthrough to **health and education**, safely and efficiently — not just to entertainment and advertising.

My work connects **Health, Technology, and Education**: from the clinic and the classroom to software development, I build the mechanisms so that precision medicine becomes the standard and every treatment is tailored to the person who needs it.

I don't seek technology that replaces humans, but one that **amplifies their capabilities**. That's what true AI means to me: Augmented Intelligence.
