Special book launch for Dr Bot in Uppsala, with a touch of Swedish class. Huge thanks to my colleagues, friends, and all those who joined the event tonight, and to
@yalebooks.bsky.social for sponsoring it

I don’t think how people are tracking how quickly this is happening, for better or worse.

Expert consensus meeting on digital mental health in Rome led by Andrea Cipriani, John Torous, Arjune Sen + Katharine Smith. Great discussions, plus a blast of Italian sun.

Check out my chat with Osi Atikpoh on AI + the future of healthcare on his great podcast "A Song Called Life". Such a fun conversation.

Just finished recording a great conversation on AI and medicine with Osi Atikpoh on his podcast A Song Called Life.
Can't wait to share it with you all, stay tuned.

You may absolutely say that! Grazie

Amazing experience to bring Dr Bot to Cheltenham Festival on stage with technology journalist Lara Lewington + chaired by the BBC's Claudia Hammond. Great discussions, and a lively audience.

Cant wait to read After Shock by @ranaawdish.bsky.social . Dr Awdish's storytelling is superb and her writing unsparing.

Honoured to be featured in the Irish Daily Mail on my new book Dr Bot @yalebooks.bsky.social

AI can already spot rare diseases, predict suicide risk & even write more empathic notes than doctors.

Question is: who should run our medical future: governments or tech giants?

My twin has myotonic dystrophy. At one appointment she was told cramps in her feet could be ‘ironed out with a rolling pin.’ Another doc put her symptoms down to ‘wear and tear’ — as if she were a trapeze artist. My column in today’s Irish Daily Mail on patients, docs & AI.
