just a quick reminder, he's always get d w in his on the go, just on apple from google play or from the app store and give you access to the latest news from around the world. fos push notifications for any breaking news. a chance i think at this hour coming up next can a i save eventually replace doctors at is the question it will be partially answered and shift coming up. next. if you want more news analysis, you can find that on our website at d, w dot com. thanks much for watching. mm. guardians of truth. my name is john kinda and i have paid almost every price of being a journalist in a country like turkey. taking all the powers that be they risk everything

john, don't dar? asks activists, journalists and politicians living in exile, which is too much on my shoulders. but i have to hold this weighed because i'm responsible for the future fall country for the people who are behind the bus they leave for their mission. people need to know what is happening there. in our series guardians of truth, watch know on youtube, d. w documentary 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 allowing 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 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 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 across, not quite as good as with bad. 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 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 till cough is testing one. he's at high risk of developing skin cancer and light skin and i've had many moles since childhood of he really 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

yeah, so 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 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 ah, is absolutely 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 i and help us take care of ourselves, hung up on some estimates and finish some 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 good. no, 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 had had with, with greater but this device has actually surprised me. tough for 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 ab, how to scan it around the sun. 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 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 develop as therefore carry a lot of responsibility when it comes to medical apps. an idea 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 sends voice and text messages to help mothers through all faces of their pregnancy. even small tips can make a big difference. no, pregnancy,

i usually i usually show pins all over my body. back pains and light, so i don't know. do is it for the fan? so nods on c i, we save a is this fabulous call 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 i left as i said, sitting while 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. 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 and yet means it'll get complimentary. i learned a $31.00 is 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 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 health look promising with uses showing 4

times less risk of dying by giving birth. a new born showing me 2 times less risk of dying. the next step and egless 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, 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 traveled from. no wonder then that experts are warning users

to be extra cautious with period trucking ups. so whenever you download a map, make sure to take a closer 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 karen 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
