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 in 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
4:03 am
order to prepare for surgically separating the twins. doctors made a virtual model of the boy's brains and 3 d printed it for a month, surgeons, and brazil, and england convened and virtual reality to practice the extremely difficult and complex procedure. experts say 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 when they come to meet with practicing with holographic

patients in a high fidelity simulator means there is no more need for life sized dolls, which are a big cost factor per hospitals. providing training for health care professionals. there's many students across the developing world in a 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 holland's headset. but a key can even just join with a mobile phone. so mobile phones now have a technology that enables them to per projects on the camera. everything that you would see in the lands and so you get a degree of realism across 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 patients 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 themselves. 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, cough 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 131 plus 2 people in my family had skin cancer. my

little song hot clips. this app is really practical because you can just squeeze in a check with the checklist along the app. he's using his skin screener. it was developed by dr. his and designed to compliment regular checkups by a dermatologist after installation. there are a few questions and then to 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 api i was trained with thousands of images of malignant and benign skin growth. when users upload images. it compares them with this database. de la costa visits, dr. tania fisher, so she can have a look ah, is absolutely the city,
4:07 am
it's good. the app issued a warning as eve, but i can say the small is harmless, thought samsara homeless or the fin. i'm a fan of act up, they raise awareness i and help us take care of ourselves, hung up on some estimates and finish on toys. this device that scans, patients from head to toe, also works with artificial intelligence. it has one big advantage to find what i might have his 1000 colonel, the know it lets 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 scanned the whole guy. publishing and document 50 moles at once, i'm slack from suitable to manifest hope. can. dr. fisher takes a closer look at any skin growth, the software flags, or the in that hottest with character. but this device has actually surprised me. tough, but the smallest melanoma discovered was 2.6 millimeters. i wouldn't have noticed
4:08 am
it changing as it grew from just 2.2 to 2.6 millimeters when a line of this. but that in the fact that the growth was in, homogeneous alerted, the apple skidded along the shopping center, we removed it and it was a very tiny malignant most autism that surpasses what we could have understood in seen with just our eyes. and i forgot to say for some 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 hard to take in a woman looks different than in a man. so if an app 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 that area where infant and mother mortality are high. a eyes being used to help provide pregnant women and new
4:09 am
mothers with tailored information. mothers, assisted by the virtual midwife sister agnes. new and expecting parents have lots of questions in nigeria, the virtual midwife, agnes sense voice and text messages to help mothers through all faces of their pregnancy. even small tips can make a big difference known pregnancy i usually i usually show pins all over my body, back pains and light, so i don't know do isn't for the fin. so nods on c i, we save a is fabulous called that we shall be. so i walk in that get this fan by this time i should not be spending so much should be sitting why walking? that city of the lord said both standing. and the last, as i said, sitting while walking at the sky,
4:10 am
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 and 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. a i, technology is backed up by humans, right? we are the ones who give the i the power to understand and our dobbs and land. and with the, with that ability, it's taking the feedback and 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 it'll get complimentary. i lena said you want to suppose to overshadow,
4:11 am
overtake another. however, what the i want and does is it gives, has an instant cash. with the help of local authorities and 8 organizations, the team behind agnes wants to accompany 16000000 women through their pregnancies and make use of technology to greatly reduce infant mortality in nigeria. so far, the numbers published by agnes house looked promising with uses, showing 4 times less risk of dying by giving birth a new born, showing it 2 times less risk of dying. the next step and agnes up health ubs, need our 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. host business as a to know when women have mood swings, headaches, or sugar cravings, period tracker, abs collect various types of sensitive health data and might also store location,
4:12 am
age and weight. the apps need most of this data to perform their function. but the spanish and g o eci cars 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 as a criminal offense and numerous us states now. so might law enforcement use data from period tracking ups 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
4:13 am
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 travelled from. no wonder then that experts are warning users to be extra cautious with period tracking ups. 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 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 and cameras and sances, and they can help us keep a close eye on our own health. nonetheless, we also clearly still need doctors not least because study shall many people
