once i christa her role in logic, the drama circuits and cult colin farrell won best actor for the black comedy drama band cheese of a bell. you've been watching date of the news coming up next. our tech shows shift. looks at the health apps snooping on the uses. state you in for that and with him glue crock will be here at the top of the hour with more news. i anthony howard. where ever you're watching. have yourself a good time. ah every journey is full of surprises. we've gone all out to give you some tips one day and in the footsteps of the reg people,

i'm in europe. northern most count please. ah, for a time in the line. so very much alive, dw channel, your guide to this essential thought in germany a recognizes where exactly it was fun and i learned a lot our culture history, all their d. w. travel extremely worth a visit. ah. could artificial intelligence save lives, or even replace doctors one day virtual reality and ai are becoming more and more important in health care. but some find that unsettling how tech is revolutionizing the medical sector. that's our topic on shift today. ah,

anyone who needs an operation would like an experienced surgeon, but doctors also have to practice their craft. luckily these days tech can help. for example, trainees can practice and extend the reality which combines virtual elements with real environments and doctors can use virtual reality to safely practice. ria and complex procedures such as the separation of these conjoined twins in brazil. ah tour and bernardo lima were born conjoined at the head with fused brains in order to prepare for surgically separating the twins. doctors made a virtual model of the boy's brains and 3 d printed it for months. surgeons and brazil, and england convened and virtual reality to practice the extremely difficult and complex procedure expert. se digital simulations also have huge potential when it comes to training. at cambridge university in england, working with extended reality means that multiple students can practice treating

one digital patient. what simulation allows us to do is to have our students fail in a safe environment and to feel safe to fail. of course, that's not something we want to do with real patience. and so a simulation environment allow the students to take those next steps in their learning where they haven't increasing the real environment around them. to practice the skills and techniques of only when they come to meet real patients. practicing with holographic patients and a high fidelity simulator means there is no more need for life sized dolls, which are a big cost factor for hospitals providing training for health care professionals. there's many students across the developing world in the deeds and other health care systems where they access to this high fidelity simulator is limited. the

advantage of this software is that, yes, you can get yourself immersive into the scenario with the hollands headset. but actually you can even just join with a mobile phone. so mobile phones now have a technology that enable them to per project on the camera. everything that you would see in the lands and so you get a degree of realism was not quite as good as with the headset. it's actually pretty good. and according to experts, doctors will in the near future use mix reality goggles in surgery. for example, to project a 3 d representation of c t r scan results directly on to a patient body does artificial intelligence, speech, human intelligence? well, for some health risks, this seems to be the case. studies show that a i can recognize certain diseases quicker and more reliably been doctors. because algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data and detect patterns and spot minute changes, which a doctor might miss this, that's them sound the alarm early,

for example, because of slight changes in the patient's voice, the earlier the diagnosis, the better the outlook for treatment. that's also true for skin cancer. there are many apps to keep an eye on skin. tito costs as testing one. he's at high risk of developing skin cancer and light skin and i've had many moles since childhood of heat, even back then i counted over 100 could say on plus 2 people in my family had skin cancer. my little some hot clips. this app is really practical because you can just squeeze in a checklist is check the app, he's using his skin screener. it was developed by doctors and designed to complement regular checkups by a dermatologist. after installation, there are a few questions and then t look and upload photos of skin changes. he's noticed the app doesn't accept blurry or dark images, and it delivers results in seconds. and you have the app says it's moderate risk,

so i should get this mold checked. but just how reliable isc and screener developer say study show than 95 percent of the apps. predictions are correct. that's thanks to artificial intelligence. the apps a i was trained with thousands of images of malignant and benign skin growth. when users upload images, it compares them with this database. telecom visits dr. tania fisher, so she can have a look. this up to leaky the city. it's good. the app issued a warning as eve, but i can say the small is harmless, thought samsara hummel's as has been ups. i'm a fan of act up. they raise awareness on and help us take care of ourselves on, often from the submit and finish from toys. this device that scans patient from head to toe also works with artificial intelligence. it has one big advantage

to find what i might have his house and cannot let you record moles than revisit them a year or 2 later on to the middle of the system has become so smart that we can practically scan the whole guy, publishing and document 50 moles at once. i'm slack. francisco manifest, and dr. fisher takes a closer look at any skin growth, the software flags, as it in it had had, which was great. but this device has actually surprised me that the smallest melanoma discovered was 2.6 millimeters. it's been, i wouldn't have noticed it changing as it grew from just 2.2 to 2.6 millimeters or when the land of this. but that in the fact that the growth was in, homogeneous alerted, the apple skidded around the shot in the center. we removed it and it was a very tiny malignant most after this material that surpassed is what we could have understood and seen with just our eyes. and i forgot to say fasten, doctors being supported by tech, sounds good to me. but the general rule with a i is garbage in, garbage out. so if your dataset is biased,

you can get digital discrimination. for example, insufficient data on black patients will lead to an algorithm being less effective at detecting their skin diseases which can have life threatening consequences or take heart disease. a harder taken a woman looks different than in a man. so even it was developed to recognize typically male symptoms. this puts women at risk a i developer, therefore carry a lot of responsibility when it comes to medical apps in nigeria where infant and mother mortality are high. a eyes being used to help provide pregnant women and new mothers with tailored information. mothers, assisted by the virtual midwife sister agnes. a new and expecting parents have lots of questions. in nigeria, the virtual midwife, agnes sends voice and text messages to help mothers through all phases of their pregnancy. even small tips can make a big difference. no, pregnancy,

i usually usually show pins all over my body, back paintings and life. so i don't know, do is it for the phase? not on fi, i receive a call that we should be working just fine. i just time i should not be finding too much should be sitting working that's of the look that go funded less. as i said, a city y walkie of sky, that's the pains we do using agnes is simple and that's by design. the service was developed for women with little access to medical information and is a literacy friendly. agnes health works on any cell phone using texts and messages that are pre recorded in the various regional languages. the a i algorithm sends them out according to how far along the mother is in her pregnancy, and the context she lives in mothers can also contact sister agnes and chat with

the a i bought or be put through to a human midwife. hey, i, technology is backed up by humans, right? we are the ones who need the i, the power to understand and adapt and land. and with the, with that ability, it's taking the feedback or the women give you to be able to give them not only public feedback, but also help them train. you train your software to be able to understand women again means is of your complimentary i learn a $31.00 is supposed to overshadow, overtake another. however, what the i want and does is it gives, has an instant cash with the help of local authorities and aid organizations. the team behind agnes wants to a promising with uses showing 4 times less risk of dying by giving birth. a new born showing $22.00 times less risk of dying. the next step, an agnes up health ups need all a data to work and to keep improving. by that means we often disclose

a lot about ourselves in our bodies. the ongoing discussion about data abuse with period track apps shows just how risky that can be. whose business as a to know when women have mood swings, headaches, or sugar cravings, perry tracker, abs collect various types of sensitive health data and might also store location age and weight. the ab steve, most of the state to perform their function. but the spanish and g o eci cast, examined 12 popular period tracking ups and found that almost all also collected unnecessary data and passed it on to 3rd parties. information on whether someone is trying to conceive or has gotten pregnant is valuable to the advertising industry. and might also be of interest to law enforcement agencies. at least that's what experts in the united states fear. now that the supreme court has overturned the constitutional right to abortion, terminating a pregnancy is a criminal offense and numerous us states now. so might law enforcement use data

from period tracking apps to see who has had an abortion or is that unrealistic? well, just a few months ago, law enforcement in the us state of nebraska already used messages sent on facebook to investigate a reported abortion. and other research found a u. s. data broker was offering information on smartphone users that connected them to the health care provider, planned parenthood. this is an organization that provides abortion advice, and can also carry out the procedure on location. the data being sold by the data broker showed how long a woman had visited a center and where she traveled from. no wonder then that experts are warning users to be extra cautious with period tracking apps. so whenever you download an app, make sure to take a close look at the privacy settings and where possible don't allow your data to be shared with 3rd parties, especially in the health apps,

because they manage some of the most sensitive data we own. when it comes to diagnosis, many current smartphones can be a powerful tool thanks to their high on cameras and sances, and they can help us keep a closer eye on our own health. nonetheless, we also clearly still needs doctors not least because studies show many people distrust they, i even if they know it can outperform doctors. what about you? have you ever been treated using a i or how would about it? let us know, i can wait to hear stories. thanks. and she was so ah, [000:00:00;00] a

ah, into the conflict zone with sebastian russia. jewish community has been watching the war in ukraine with mounting alarm. but most of the island fearing stay reprisals. the senior figure in the community helped that silence was the moral thinkers, goldschmidt and he wants all jews in russia to get out. now conflict zone next on d. w, and some are prepared to evacuate to safety. others just let the situation unfold. but are some of them bringing these disasters on themselves? major survivors. the adaptability of wild life in 30 minutes on

d. w. a . what people have to say matters to us or me. that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on d. w. rushes jewish community has been watching the war in ukraine with mounting a but must have kept silent steering state reprisals if they spoke out against the kremlin. and yet as the fighting intensified, the senior figure in the community felt that silence was immoral. so he fled moscow
