Engineering as a Creative Process with Social Impact

This conference talk from Devoxx Greece 2025 features speakers Giorgos Anagnostaki and Konstantinos Petropoulos discussing engineering as a creative process with meaningful social impact. In 16 minutes, explore the fundamental question that should drive all projects: "Why are we building this?" Discover how this question becomes especially crucial in healthcare technology, where software directly impacts patients, doctors, and families. Learn how engineering solutions in medical contexts can improve access to data, enhance diagnostic accuracy, and facilitate better collaboration among healthcare providers. Understand how the human impact of engineering work—particularly when it becomes personal—provides deeper meaning and motivation. See engineering not merely as a technical discipline but as a creative process that can drive meaningful change by solving problems that truly matter to people's lives and wellbeing.
