It is an honor for me to welcome you to this conference, 2022 Aisyiyah International Conference on Health and Medical Sciences (A-HMS) part of 2022 3rd International Conference on Health Science and Technology (ICHST). With the topic “Transformation of Technology for a Better Life,” this conference tries to facilitate scientific dialectic among researchers, lecturers, and people who are determined in the academic world to share new discoveries and knowledge. This topic is indeed similar to editorial advert for a technology product in Indonesia, but it will be important in human life in the future. With the principle of novelty, science always presents new things, including new technology, to meet the needs of humans who increasingly want the convenience of life.

Today, mankind has achieved advanced scientific and technological progress. This dynamic will never stop, so that discovery after discovery of new technology will always decorate our lives. However, the dynamics of science and technology often bump into ethical and moral boundaries as a human society. The development of biotechnology, digital technology, health technology, economic and policy innovation sometimes raises an ethical debate: whether the new technology that is discovered will give benefits in human life, or will it plunge people into new problems. Therefore, science should not be on top of an ivory tower, but should absorb human-to-human conversations in their daily lives, so that science always finds its context in human life. As stated in the Quran: “Read in the name of your Lord who created.” Therefore, we all hope that this conference will make a positive contribution to the development of science and technology in human history.

After the second year of theCOVID-19 pandemic, the academic world has also found a new convenience: that scientific forums can be held virtually. Therefore, this conference was held on a hybrid basis for 2 days by presenting several competent speakers in their fields as panelists. On behalf of the committee, I would like to thank:
