    Why patients are turning to Dr Chatbot | Letters

    Patients in the UK are increasingly turning to AI chatbots for medical advice due to the perceived decline in accessible and consistent care within the National Health Service (NHS). The current system often involves rotating doctors and lengthy waits, making a predictable and available AI alternative appealing. Experts suggest that this trend highlights a need for regulated AI tools in healthcare, rather than a reason to halt innovation, to ensure patients and doctors have trusted options. AI

    Generation of Heterogeneous PET Images from Uniform Organ Activity Maps Using a Pretrained Domain-Adapted Diffusion Model

    Researchers have developed a novel diffusion model, termed PAD, capable of generating realistic heterogeneous PET images from uniform organ activity maps. This model adapts a natural image text-to-image decoder for medical imaging, employing a two-phase training strategy to refine image details. Evaluations demonstrated that PAD-generated images exhibit high quantitative accuracy, comparable noise and texture characteristics to real PET scans, and yield similar performance in tumor segmentation tasks. Human observers found the synthesized images visually indistinguishable from actual PET scans, highlighting PAD's potential for data augmentation and supporting various imaging studies. AI

    IMPACT Enables more efficient and diverse synthetic PET image generation for medical research and AI model training.

    How much do you know about # Palantir , the # spy -tech firm handling your # health # records ? Take a quick # quiz and find out if you really know the chilling

    Palantir, a company known for its data analytics and AI capabilities, is facing scrutiny regarding its handling of sensitive health records, particularly within the UK's National Health Service (NHS). A quiz promoted on Mastodon highlights concerns about privacy, data security, and the potential misuse of this information, drawing parallels to the dangerous "seeing stones" from "The Lord of the Rings" to illustrate the power and risks associated with Palantir's technology.

    Unlike B.J, AIs do not lie technically speaking : they hallucinate. It's not because they are more expensive that they hallucinate less. Yet, it's not like goin

    AI models, unlike humans, technically do not lie but rather hallucinate, and increased cost does not guarantee reduced hallucination. The NHS is exploring AI to manage rising staffing costs, with officials warning that current growth plans may lead to unsustainable long-term expenses for the health service. AI

    IMPACT AI's tendency to hallucinate remains a challenge, even with increased costs, impacting its reliability in critical sectors like healthcare where the NHS is exploring its use to manage staffing expenses.
