The #MentalHealth crisis has shown no sign of slowing, but greater adoption of NLP-powered suicide risk detection in #healthcare settings could significantly improve intervention rates and potentially save lives—especially in under-resourced communities!✨

[Catherine Calarco @CathCalarco]

Fantastic use case of #AI/ML! #NLP analysis of patient communication, beyond traditional questionnaires, has the potential to identify suicidal ideation missed during clinical interactions, which could offer a critical safety net.❤️‍🩹 https://t.co/kZhM1MKLpC

"It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences."

Happy #PrideMonth! Our differences make us who we are, and they should be embraced and loved!🏳️‍🌈

Really great points, Heather! I definitely agree that we don't hear that pain point discussed enough (or at all, really). Setting clear boundaries and sticking to them will be really crucial to prevent burnout.

New @TheIHI report breaks down the risks of using gen AI for clinical notetaking. One concern not discussed as often: even if a tool frees up a doc's time, that free time might be replaced by new expectations, such as seeing a greater volume of patients https://t.co/XfVDm8QAQg

@Microsoft @nvidia Too often, quality care comes at far too high a price, but excitingly enough, this partnership promises to "...empower[ing] healthcare and life sciences organizations worldwide to innovate faster and help improve the quality and accessibility of patient care."

[Catherine Calarco @CathCalarco]

Very cool possibilities @Microsoft and @nvidia! By combining generative #AI with massive computing power, #healthcare could enter an era of #PersonalizedMedicine with faster diagnoses, targeted treatments, and, ultimately, saved lives.❤️‍🩹🤖 https://t.co/jKwWljTAN7

As the population continues to grow, this could be HUGE for the future of the #FoodChain! Due to more well-understood and modified crop breeding and farm management, we could see more resilient food production.

[Catherine Calarco @CathCalarco]

In beginning to decipher the complex code of plant biology, #AI is transforming #agriculture from a practice informed more by intuition to one guided by a much deeper understanding of these crops on a molecular level! https://t.co/VfxX6SMagI

[Catherine Calarco @CathCalarco]

Moving forward, we have to consider this in #healthcare. We need to be prepared for the increase in malnutrition, illnesses and diseases, worsening degenerative brain diseases, and even #MentalHealth decline. Fighting to save the planet is fighting to protect human wellness!🤝

[Catherine Calarco @CathCalarco]

The #ClimateCrisis is clarifying that our #health is intrinsically linked to the planet's well-being! When we talk about #ClimateChange, we can no longer separate human (or animal) health from the conversation.🌎❤️‍🩹 https://t.co/I7q7mVqqGo

"Empathy has no script. There is no right way or wrong way to do it. It’s simply listening, holding space, withholding judgment, emotionally connecting, and communicating that incredibly healing message: 'You’re not alone.'"

Empathy comes from the heart!💖 @BreneBrown #QOTD

[Catherine Calarco @CathCalarco]

Great points! Along with switching workflows, I believe that interoperability at large will be a challenge. We're seeing new innovations from all over all the time, but making them cohesive will be difficult to manage!

[Giovanni Di Napoli @giovannidinapol]

There's definitely exciting potential for how AI can shape the #FutureOfHealthcare, especially when it comes to #DrugDevelopment, diagnosis and #DiseaseDetection, and #TreatmentPlanning and personalization. But, it all depends on how you use AI. 🧵 https://t.co/m4svvU2F7H

[Catherine Calarco @CathCalarco]

The empathetic touch that AI can enable when utilized alongside human medical expertise, however, could completely reshape and enhance patient well-being and treatment effectiveness by fostering trust and a more collaborative healing journey!🤝

[Catherine Calarco @CathCalarco]

#Cancer care is moving from impersonal, technology-driven treatment to a future where #AI bridges the emotional gap we see now! Many cancer patients can tell you that the journey sometimes lacks empathy and care and can feel quite isolating.❤️‍🩹 https://t.co/UxNEFl5eOu

"Sometimes people will hear you better if you speak with a voice of compassion instead of authority. They long to be understood more than to be lectured." - Dodinsky. Connection is a key part of the human experience, and connection stems from understanding, not authority!💖 #QOTD

4. Exercise
5. Eat healthy
6. Ask for help
7. Go outside

#AI has improved efficiency and burnout, but now it's doing even more by matching participants to clinical trials, expediting drug development, and translating documents. Still, experts want "the human to be the last mile of the judgment." https://t.co/tYTLhxKmja

90% of global businesses are implementing an AI-based #DigitalTransformation, but they've only realized 31% of their expected revenue outcome. 💲👎🏻 Why? There's been a lack of effective #ChangeManagement and internal advocacy. @LouiseKAllen

Most digital transformation initiatives today fail. Here's how to make sure yours succeeds. https://t.co/oNp6n7yp5P

“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.”

#Compassion is the key to building meaningful, joyful relationships! Even in the increasingly digital age we're living in, the human touch will always remain necessary.❤️ #QOTD
