Recent discussions have been focusing on making A.I. better for healthcare purposes. Whether it’s ageism that should be removed from the process of developing A.I. algorithms or bias, it’s good to see these are consciously being taken seriously.
Also, we finally launched The Digital Health Course, our digital platform with a strong curriculum with which we aimed at contributing to clearing up the confusion around digital health and A.I. The feedback has been amazing, and we are very grateful for that.
I hope you will find the newsletter useful!
Take care,

Evelina London and King’s College London have joined forces to develop VR technology for heart surgeries.
"The technology brings together scans to create a 3D digital image of the heart, which can be used by surgeons ahead of procedures. By doing so, it can shorten operation times, reduce the need for multiple surgeries and lead to better outcomes and experiences for patients."
