Listen Later

On today’s show, George and Louise delve into:

Has China really built the world’s first an AI-Agent Hospital?


Royal Melbourne Hospital in Melbourne has built a machine learning model to predict likely wait times in the emergency department, complete with a public-facing dashboard – how cool is that!


Whoops, the US FDA’s AI, Elsa, has problems coming out of the starting gate


Australian regulator the TGA has approved sleep apnoea tech on smartwatches. Is this the relationship saving tech everyone will want?


Congrats to the Bluegum Health Transformation team in Tassie for their early progress in transforming the state’s health system, enabled by digital and data. 


Is there a fundamental mismatch between the goals of interoperability and monolith EMRs?


OpenAI’s all listening, all seeing, all dancing AI companion. What could be the applications and implications for healthcare?
