I mean you could probably get more information if you just googled the symptoms:)
The first NHS AI-run physiotherapy clinic is to be rolled out this year in an effort to cut waiting times amid growing demand and staff shortages.
The new platform will provide same-day automated video appointments with a digital physiotherapist via an app that responds to information provided by a patient in real time...
An initial video assessment with an AI physiotherapist was performed to evaluate their symptoms. Once approved for treatment, patients had weekly video appointments. The digital physiotherapist prescribed exercises and pain management techniques, monitored symptoms and adjusted patients’ treatments.
More than four in five participants reported that their symptoms had improved during treatment with the platform.
I remember a British lady in Corona times telling online how she delivered her baby at home with a phone midwife. That is, she was told on the phone what to do, she followed the instructions and had her baby. I should add that home births are quite normal in UK and it wasn't her 1st child, and I think she was visited later to check if everything was fine, but still.
Medical care is another heavily feminised branch which soon will be gutted by the onset of AI, it appears.
It was years ago, when they first reported computer programs making better diagnoses than doctors. Reason: doctors have so much bias, when computer just analyses symptoms and facts. Also computer remembers everything, unlike doctor.
ReplyDeleteI personally cannot wait to meet my first robot doctor or nurse. I assume it wouldn't be so obviously fed up with its occupation.
The idea here is to go to the doctor as little as possible. We even do medical tests at home nowadays, like pap smear.
ReplyDeleteSelf-testing pap? My goodness, that sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThough I assume you and I don't really even need it. Cervical cancer is nonexistent amongst chassidic jews (and nuns). Because promiscuity is it's number one risk factor.
In my country all teenage girls are vaccinated for that virus at the age of 12. Apparenlty it is so much cheaper than to tell them to keep their knees together. Oh wait, I forgot, we are not allowed to tell girls to keep their knees together anymore, because it is suppression, bodyshaming and all sorts of modern sins.
Here many people choose not to vaccinate. Also, this vaccine only works against 2 strains of HPV, not all. I have also heard stories (and it's just that, internet gossip) that apparently this virus could be transferred through toilet seats and especially swimming pools/whirl pools. Scary stuff... As for the test, they send you a home kit with instructions. They do it once in 10 years nowadays, btw.
ReplyDeleteSmoking, btw, is a risk factor, too.
ReplyDeleteAbout those internet gossip: waayy before internet my aunt was a school nurse. They are pretty educated people here, study 4 years. Back then people claimed getting STD:s from restrooms and pools. She always said, that one can positively get STD from pool or public restroom.
ReplyDeleteBut in that case, you haven't been alone in them...
If you think how deep in our bodies cervix is, it makes no sense you could get something there from toilet seat, or even in pool. Water in pool does not go inside you.
Yeah, I doubt about toilet seats. However, I read somewhere that they found hpv on the toilet seats in a clinic. They say it can survive on surfaces, but not very long?
ReplyDeleteThey did find (some) std in pools, especially in hotels. I'm not really sure how infectious it really is. Don't remember right now if it was hpv or something else. Also, cervix moves depending on the phase of your cycle or pregnancy. It can hang pretty low.
