and have consistently failed to take advantage of their slip ups. to cool, we'll want to turn this strew with a win over a half to berlin site that have shipped 9 goals in their last 2 games. that would put buyer and back on top of the league and maybe even conjure a smile from mr. eunice. and you, of course watching d. w. news live from berlin up. next are technology show shift asked whether a i in medicine can help save lives. i'm nick spicer from in the entire news team here. berlin, thanks. watch with with species populate our planet. most of them are here long before us. it was on when humans came along that the drink mass extinction began. and

a moving diversity of species still exist on the coast of the british isles. and if they are calling to preserve this habitat story of hope. while dials starts me 19 on d. w. 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 experts, a 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 to remind 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 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 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 hollands headset,

but he 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 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 beats 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 one. 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 soon, hot clips. this app is really practical because you can just squeeze in a check with the check the app. he's using his 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 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. d locust visits dr. tania fisher, so she can have a look. ah, is absolutely the city, it's good. the app issued a warning as eve, but i can say the small is harmless, thought samsara. hum. as has been ups, i'm a fan of act up. they raise awareness on and help us take care of ourselves and hung up on some estimates and finish from toys. this device that scans patient is from head to toe, also works with artificial intelligence. it has one big advantage to find what i manifest has been kind of good. no,

it lets you record moles than revisit them a year or 2 later on to make. 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 on when the line of this. but that in the fact that the growth was in homogenous alerted, the apple skidded around the shop in the center. we removed it and it was a very tiny, malignant moles after his mom tom, that surpassed is what we could have understood and seen with just our eyes and said, oh my for canada. facile doctors being supported by tech. sounds good to me. but the general rule with the eye 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 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 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. 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. non pregnancy. i usually an asia to show feelings

about my body back beings on the light. so i don't know, do is it for the phase? so lots on see, i receive a, this is wagner's coal that we shall be see till i walk in and get this fan. by this time i shall not be spending till marsh should be sitting. why war king, that city of a lot said go standing on the left as i said, sitting while walking at the sky. that's haines. 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 need the, i, the power to understand and adopts and land. and with the, with that ability, it's taking the feedback that 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 will understand women and your needs. you said your complementary. i learned a study once of was 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 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 22 times less risk of dying. the next step, an agnes up health ups need our data to work and to keep improving. but that means we often disclose a lot about ourselves and 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, 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 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 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 on cameras and sensors, 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 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
