not known to back on the day his chan go with last year's tragedy is heading to south africa. the next round in the battle for a ticket to germany. ah, good luck to them. that's it. from me up. next is shift living in the digital age. that's after a short break this week. it's talk looking at how technology is revolutionizing medicine. i'm jared radian berlin. thank you for watching. have a great day with new time. once again, we're brain update because this orchestra called the brain

continuously adapts itself. and so we ask a few astute questions. we can control our thoughts, which makes us very power. kind of like a superpower. ah, questions about life? the universe were series 40 to the answer to almost everything. this week on d. w. with 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 a month, 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 that don't need when they come to meet real patients. practicing with holographic patients in a high fidelity simulator means there is 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 enables them to per project 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 bad. it's actually pretty good . and according to experts, doctors will in the near future use mixed 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 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 cough as testing like he's at high risk of developing skin cancer and light skin and i've had many moles since childhood of healy 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 is skin screener. it was developed by doctors and designed to compliment regular checkups by a dermatologist after installation, there are a few questions and then to look at 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 mall 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. telecom visits dr. tania fisher, so she can have a look ah, this is up to leaky the city. it's good. the app issued a warning as eve, but i can say the small is harmless, hot samsara hummel's or the fin ups. i'm a fan of act up. they raise awareness on and help us take care of ourselves, hung up on some estimates from the, from 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 faced has been kind of getting it lets you record moles than revisit them a year or 2 later on to the middle. 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 had had with, with greater but this device has actually surprised me. tough, but the smallest melanoma discovered was 2.6 millimeters has been i wouldn't have noticed it changing as it grew from just 2.2 to 2.6 millimeters on the line of this . but that in the, that the growth was in homogenous alerted. the apple skidded along the southern center, we removed it, and it was a very tiny malignant, most artist. that surpassed is what we could have understood in seen with just our eyes. and i forgot the surface of doctors being supported by text 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 annette 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 i is being used to help provide pregnant women and new 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 oliver,

my body back pains on the light. so i don't know do is it for the phase? so not on see i receive a this is fabulous. call that we shall be 6, so i will keep that get this fan. by this time i should not be spending so much should be sitting. why walking that city of a lot of funding left. as i said, city, why walking at the 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 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. hey, i, technology is backed up by humans, right? we are the ones who give the i the power to understand. and i've dobbs and land. and with the um, with that ability, it's taking the feedback, 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 your complementary. i learned a 31 supposed to overshadow, overtake another. however, what the i one does is it gives, has an instant cash. with the help of local authorities and aid 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 health look promising reviews us showing 4 times

less risk of dying by giving birth a new born showing 22 times less risk of dying. the next step, an agnes up health ups 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, age and weight. the abstain most of this data to perform their function. but the spanish and g o edgy 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 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 i, missy 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 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 distrust a i, even if they know it can out the form doctors. what about you? have you ever been treated using a i or how would you feel about it? let us know. i can wait to hear stories, thanks, and she was so, ah

ah! our specialties. with spliced with the luxury and pleasure. flavored with a touch of art and culinary excellence. this is all the active serving in europe to savor your romance. next long d w, which you superstition or reality. they are hunted to this day, dw reporter carving him, should it follows in the footsteps of her in sister who was at the stake

is the mythology of which is really a thing of the past. ah, judy with what our sports all along with scoring, do we say there about never giving up sports like every weekend on d. w. b world famous blossoms. are dutch tulip parks really so spectacular? or are they just tours traps the national dish and moist street? why are belgian so crazy about muscles with fries and the feeling i did a bill in civilian at the festival. we'll see what.
