here dw, would aim to provide you with unbiased information for, for you months. so share your thoughts in the comments below the just imagine in your grandmother's day, people just knew when they felt good. and when they didn't, they simply said, it's probably nothing serious. let's just wait and see. nowadays everything's different. smart watches can tell you exactly how you're doing. 247 to something hurt just as google, and find out about all the terrible conditions that your symptoms might be signed up. and who knows? maybe doctors offices will soon feature androids able to calm your fears. what can new technology do to improve health?

not much you say, then this is the show for you. welcome to in good shape the session the val smart watch went above and beyond. recently it prevented a possible stroke. he was using it mainly for sports when his notice the regularities in his heartbeat, develop new to act. but when he visited the doctor, he was given the all clear device off, i'm caught, you know, and then i went to the cardiologist who performed a long term easy g, but didn't find anything else. and i thought it was an error. so i switched off the alarm because it was kind of annoying, was, i don't know if it's well that could have had serious consequences for the 48 year old because the smart watch was right. a 2nd, b, c, g,

and phone university hospital confirmed what the gadgets had picked up a my name is donna missing from used on the standard d. c. g. then video that i have something called atrial fibrillation. what does i know? i was asked several times in the cardiology department why my watch hadn't sounded the alarm was and so i had to tell them again and again, i had actually disable the alarm myself. that is that. so i just always come on top of it, isn't this not? i'm sebastian's, the cardiologist at the university hospital bumper has a good experiences with smart boss health apps. he's convinced that potential is huge, especially for prevention. the data that these smart watches collect the easy reading . they have very reliable. and the most common heart rhythm this or they're a ruth, mia is called h of relation and it's the leading cause of stroke worldwide. and this can be detected by smart watches. and then if we know that the patient has a,

we can initiate treatment to prevent stroke, socially valid, has been in treatment ever since. and now we're so smart watch regularly, which was a pretty good idea, is how it started playing off again. and the app was the 1st to notice to this one after that. so for this it signal reliably, every time you're having a truck regulation again, right now. so this maybe you should contact your doctor's smart watches, monitor your heart rate by an optic sensor. it admits a light signal that measures the blood flowing through the skin with every pulse, but the results aren't always accurate enough to be out from the light is been absorbed by him, a globe and a component of the blood from which we can do right. the heart rate, but as it's a light source, everything that can interfere with light. it has an influence on the data quality. things like skin color, body hair, type shoes, or perhaps scar tissue. could be the desktop is. so smart watches often don't work

so well on people with dark skin. that's why i t researchers are experimenting with ultra sound measurements. so doctors, medical associations and independent consumer advisors can offer recommendations. we looked at and out designed to detect skin cancer. there are dozens of apps for keeping an eye on your skin to low cost is testing $1.00 for us today. he is an increased risk of skin cancer, as others been and had hoped to go to blind fair skins and have had a lot of moles since childhood. i counted over a 100 back then 2 loans and one of them you and 2 people in my family have had skin cancer and defense. so the app is really practical for checking up between appointments. second, the apps are also easy to use. just take a photo with your cellphone camera, if the quality of the image is good enough, the apple process it and issue

a recommendation in seconds. and you have so the apps is medium risk. so i should have this mode checked. the app is the brainchild of dr. machado to they put a fan of intelligent tech and the tv show star trek, a contractor, there's the tri quarter, and seeing a device that can scan everything in and tell you what the patient has. it's a kind of a miracle machine, and every doctor would love to have one. you see the odd students from good on the then smartphones came along and with them and the idea of developing a i that could detect skin tumors early and then come artificial intelligence combines images, sounds and text to imitate human learning and thinking. in this case, how it during the tale just things. when analyzing a skin change, the eyes trained on thousands of images. too much. i can a grease that ai systems are particularly suitable for dermatology because treating

them as straightforward. these tracking app development for the german cancer society so that it can create an app like this can help make a basic assessment. and so, and you really should make an appointment at the dermatologist on tape. it says we should talk and it all sounds false. alarm at all because to an a i but 9 legions can also appear like type boost. but in the last few years, the diagnostic accuracy of ai systems has really increased always. and if we can see, you know, mean a us studies found that g p is detecting malignant melanoma in 24 to 70 percent of cases. dermatologist detected 77 to 96 percent. the apps algorithm was even more accurate, identifying it's 93 to 98 percent of the time. 50 x. please take this arc. this is crossing, it's like having a little dermatologist in your pocket. so one big difference is that the app can trans, you know, it can only show go to the doctor and we one patients to see their doctor as soon

as possible that seen some ads to bring him to low cost also has his results checked by his dermatologist this is absolutely, it's absolutely right that the app isn't a warning, but i'd still say that it's harm questions dr. thomas. the doctor looks for a skin change that would challenge the the i'd like to know what it says about that . once again, the specialist and the app are in agreement, green means low risk at this time, absolutely. in favor of that job, it's great that they raise awareness and that we start to look at ourselves a bit more. and that's for me, some type of artificial intelligence has been integrated into a practice for quite a while. like this device which drastically reduces the risk show misses, dangerous skin cancer.

tanya fisher has been working with the photo find your body scanner for 6 years. it scans the patient from head to toe. sounds in alarm when it detects, and this will most kind of like the smartphone apps. big brother let's take a closer look at that device. a good example of how i is having an impact on health care. for instance, algorithms can search through c t scans, looking for tumors for, recognize life threatening diseases in an e. c, g. and when it comes to detecting dangerous changes in your skin, a guy is making a real difference. a, our software is being used to recognize skin cancer. it can already do this more quickly and reliably than humans because it never stops learning. because use talk, the a i is like a professor for damascus is going to be which looks over my shoulder and isn't always available to provide a 2nd opinion and on that. and that improves both the accuracy and speed of

diagnose at this. especially in more complex cases. philip buck appreciates the support artificial intelligence offers. it is learned how to analyze photos of suspicious pigmentation marks for skin cancer. to do that, it needs high resolution images, which the doctor takes with a dramatic scope or digital camera. which in seconds the a i calculates the probability that the molar or liver spot is cancerous because he has produced a result of 0.05. that's the lowest score score. such scores are possible because the computer was trained on over a 120000 most of bundle feet of so many variants of the 9 and cancer as small as were included. but even suspicious looking spots like this can with certain dvd and time around. so it's makers explain how the a i works in

a process known as deep learning. the software is trained using a huge number of images and diagnoses. as its experience grows, the program learns to tell the difference between benign and malignant spots and doing so it recognizes patterns that would be barely discernable to most human observers. tiny ein who is there has already benefited from the eyes. expertise is quick, diagnosis may even have saved her life one sunday, 2 years ago, she discovered a suspicious spot on her chest and made an appointment to have it checked by the a i the next day by the end doesn't clean it up like the steering the examination and the practice the computer gave it's the highest score so i meanings that it had diagnosed as, as affected case of skin cancer. the doctor buck gave me an appointment the very next day to have it removed to and then it turned out to be a male or no more level without a i the danger might not have been recognized as quickly potentially giving the

cancer a chance to spread the studies content that's the rapid detection enabled us to operate very quickly into the examination, revealed the micro meta spaces. so the relevant measures could then be taken fast, which greatly improved and he's prognosis, he please for that wouldn't have been possible during the time span of a regular doctors appointment. and so i basically just gives one big advantage to b. i is how fast it can died. notice, especially in full body examinations for people with hundreds of mold, is more precise as well. plus, it never forgets. even 2 years later, it remembers specific most i can check to see if changes have occurred. in terms of kind of a comp is convinced that artificial intelligence pursuing transform medicine. he envisions a future where a, i will help doctors predict complications concern begins hypoth politically because i can interpret lots and lots of different kinds of medical data and artificial

intelligence. increasingly, it has the potential to be used for early detection and who i can on the time comes for instance, whether a patient is at risk of developing a life threatening case of substance. and turn his token to develop a i that can catch the warning signs because some 11000000 people around the world died from the condition each year. is one of the most common complications that occur in hospitals. and once it started substances, it's almost impossible to stop it occurs when the body's immune response over reacts to an infection. usually this is triggered by bacteria. in addition to cycle into more and more organs fail. in the phase, he gets an overwhelming condition that develops very quickly enough within minutes or a few hours. and so it's very important to react as fast on often. and so naturally

it would be quite desirable to simply have systems of hands that can help doctors and nurses are quickly recognized when patients are at high risk of developing steps. genetic and can, does, puts in done was physical. so i add you into concepts as how that's exactly what this a i software has been designed to do. it's still in the development phase. so this is just a demonstration model, puts and it should be able to predict when such, this will occur. for instance, after an operation, here's how the ai has access to all the data that the hospital has on a patient. reports from previous visit spend test results, including blood values and other vital parameters. it compares this current info with anonymized data from millions of former patients and sound to the alarm when it recognizes the complications pose a clear threat. exclude on a soft rate is the good thing about the software,

is that it gives us the ability to constantly monitor and analyze all of the information we have on patients to live in uninterrupted, done. so with that, we can, for example, recognize the risk of steps as early on. then we can react and take measures before a severe case can develop and expand. zips has come to this technology is still being rigorously tested. but it's already clear that effective collaboration between human and artificial intelligence comes to a fly. if you're experiencing aches and pains, or after a trip to the doctors, you might want to do some research of your own. many people consult doctor google. about a recent studies found that popular search engines tend to skew, search results in favor of rare or life threatening illnesses, often raising completely unfounded fears. in extreme cases, this can lead to hypochondria anxiety and depression, mental disorders,

which are often really tough to treat. so we're can suffers turn for health too. now of course taking his dog for a walk and enjoying the day. christian back has only been able to do this again since the end of winter. 2 years ago he's looked into depression. i'm going with is just like an empty sho. i didn't feel anything. well, you can't imagine it worse than you get up and just exist as often. but you don't know what you're doing the product as well as you start asking. why is stay here? why am i live? what should i do now? maybe what i might as well go back to sleep quite a bit. i was a good one, so then you sleep on for that one christian best. biggest challenge do way ahead. finding a therapist, a desperate search that you didn't have the energy for,

especially when you heard that waiting lists were one to 2 years long. and it was gone it, sorry, so i didn't know whether to laugh or cry scream, or go back to sleep. me just laughing, i really thought i'd never get better. if you had any reason, i could barely make it from one day to the next item towers, i suppose to make it for 2 years. so you all are so many others are expected in the same way. nicola smell cops is a cycle therapist. he's been observing this situation for patients in germany for a long time and knows how bad the long wait for therapy can be and the other 5 is sort of, it's clear that there is a risk mental illness as well worse and then grow chronic and coordinated to you, some people might even develop suicidal tendencies of crime, grow, others might have work problems and so on. it's probably a minute when the rule is almost always the earlier, the better if we're just the best of our therapy. abscessed solution. ready they're intended to support those effective during the long wait until therapy with

a human begins. but how useful are they? psychology professor julian rubel conducted a study to investigate the question. then let's told you close. our studies showed that almost 44 percent of patients who go to the app reported that improvement in their symptoms after 12 weeks. full fee and $50.00, put in the control group, is under 14 percent. the patients reported and presented their symptoms during the same period to put it inside the home to fit this will. so my conclusion is, but for many patients, thoughts abusing apps is definitely better. she's been doing that thing but waiting and it puts you into the best. so as a mission to, to, to box there are other digital approaches. for example, therapy check, thoughts are already being used in england. but therapists are critical of purely digital offerings. underfunding deaf one does and what

happens when it actually promises 2 words? doesn't send to the young man. imagine someone who's really suffering from depression trying an app. i'm hoping it will help and it doesn't work for him for them. what does that he feel worse for specific? basically, cycle therapy is a service provided by training qualified cycles. they are because it's part of it. so that's at the heart of course. and then of digitalization, whether videos or apps can be helpful. it got it, but the must be integrated design, so that's kind of who for someone has to take responsibility blends and is most starting with the diagnosis or is it an indication for clarification and monitoring the course of therapy to help people? now someone who could also say it's enough now you're ready to deal with life on your role and i've gotten it right that come in the bottom edge because this i can because what people actually need in therapy is a counterpart and they need real already contacted a point the therapist needs information from the patient for a non verbal body language is an extremely important tool for the therapist and explain these to this vehicle. so it's an app can't pick all that up,

is come or use it either of name and when doc needs to come in today. christian back is feeling better. thanks to therapy for your yes, i really enjoy again when i last last included, laughter comes out of my depth or something. what else was it makes my whole body feel great from team godsig couples for on as a v. so it's excited for you. it's like all the fireworks everywhere for and that wasn't the case before. i couldn't sense or feel any sonic's feeling on skin. in psycho therapy, digital solutions can provide support. however, there's no replacement for a human therapist. apps are also popular for fitness. they can help you do yoga, build muscle, or stretched. it's thought there are over $37000.00 such outs,

but experts more than that many overwhelm their users. so beginners in particular are better off when a trainer shows them exercises. what if you could make the digital world more personal? we check out a new way to work out. getting fit by a screen during the code 1910 to make this way of exercising, spread all over the world. there are now millions of work of videos on the internet . they make exercising easy, but have some disadvantages to mindfully in my problem. and i'll still, since i don't know if this is the right setup, and i can't see myself in my living room. so i'm going to test the fitness mirror, which is a let on see myself, this and be as a personal trainer and it turned out to then allegedly to keep it. we'll see that's how i'm going to test it is you've got the test and the mirror weighs over 40 kilo's. suggest getting it assembled is a workout. but once it's set up,

everything looks perfect. now all you have to do is log in using the app that comes with the mirror. plugin the power and connect to the internet. then you're ready to train. there are classes for cardio plotters, yoga stretching strings, training, a total of over 2000 options. both live and on demand reading. how am i supposed to decide what to say, but it's actually good. you can use it for a long time and always name something new fashion of us that's better than a channel from some fitness into observe this influenza. mike starts her 1st factor in cardio workout. having the trainer in the mirror is a little awkward at 1st, but there are clear advantages that she can see herself and compare her movements to the trainers. in addition to the courses, you can also book online sessions with personal trainers. they call them via the

mirror the or hello mike who likes danica. she asks a few things 1st about preexisting injuries, as well as mike his goals and athletic background ability check is also part of the process. once he on it can knows exactly what mike needs. she develops the training program. he has initiative, i didn't expect her to see what i was doing right or wrong in terms of mike foster and i thought the exercises with this yellow band were great to i didn't know about the waving exercise either. so i'll definitely take the homework to heart. what else we have. it's great that we will have another session in 4 weeks of the. so i have someone there to talk to him because that's the death. but i'm looking forward to the training plan, which we'll see what comes with it and as of what have been screenings done,

some of them i left the house comes to me in the days that follow mike, he uses the put this marrow lot. she does stretching, 10 bar work out meditations, kind of course, some live classes where she can even interact with other course participants to love it when you can start like the key to thompson are also trainers in her package. but it isn't cheap. in germany, the smallest fitness mirror costs 1400 year old monthly fees come to 39 year old and sessions with personal trainers cost extra. mike has conclusions and you can see about how many sections really like some of the trainers because of their voices or how they moved to. so i didn't finish a few sessions when i was in public about the same and realize didn't leave them

also. unless otherwise i couldn't use a personal trainer name except to get a tailored program. just put in the 10 live classes, have it even just like at the javits of is looking me and such as to do whatever i want in my whatever us altima some nice to meet us also. it's a good thing for me to a surprise. maybe in a really positive way to do me stay as a positive for the last time we talked a personal trainer and since you've therapist dennis kramer about his experiences as a professional, what does he think? and that's, that's a whole other things that at home, i'd say it's a very nice tool that you can get things out of it individually. even focus on your weaknesses. often especially i, again, i think what all is good. it stylish in the mirror also allows you to correct yourself for 2 months due to some up. i'd say it definitely deserves a good rating. it is on this bill for you. and if i want to know what the for the income the fitness mirror is only worth file if you use it regularly. otherwise it's just an expensive decoration. technology is great. just don't switch

off your good sense. when you turn on your cell phone, i hope to see you again. next time are in good shape. by the
