#1 cause of school dropout is unrecognised or untreated mental ill health @JasonClareMP@InsidersABC Current strategies to respond are weak piecemeal and non-evidence based eg mindfulness & feel good “resilience” programs. Wellbeing is a separate issue from mental ill health
#Parents want their children to develop and thrive.
Regrettably, many parents feel that in order to support their children, they should:
❌ use punitive measures when children are angry
❌ brush aside children's emotions when they're upset, presuming it builds resilience 😢
😞
MH treatments, and society, need a redesign.

All the talk about #AI and implementing it in the healthcare setting at #MEDINFO23 ... this article from 2019 seems especially relevant today!
@EnricoCoiera - good call!
Great presentation @steph_chaousis about the challenges with local implementation.

My morning started at 4.30am so I I could squeeze in an extra day of #MEDINFO23 🤩
I’ll be speaking on Tuesday at 2.20pm.
Come chat to me about what parents think about digital health for their child’s mental health.
🙏 @VirginAustralia! for squeezing me onto an earlier flight
@RobertFreundLaw Oh and Amazon kept on telling me it wasn't cancelling because I hadn't turned off auto-renew before unsubscribing!!! So they would just resubscribe me a few days later!!!
@RobertFreundLaw Prime got me with this, too. I tried multiple attempts to unsubscribe, navigating a labyrinth of poorly worded user flows. And all this after never signing up in the first place.
Made me stop buying anything off Amazon for 3 years
Research paper showing #ChatGPT makes college students:
💨 Work faster
💯 Produce higher quality output
And the effect is greatest for those with the lowest skills = equity
👀Two early papers find the effects of generative AI on knowledge work are completely unprecedented in modern history
Separate studies of both writers and programmers find 50% increases in productivity with AI, and higher performance and satisfaction. And this is just the start.
David Petersen (@typesfaster) posted this graph of the percentage of teens who meet their friends in person almost every day. If you crop and flip it, it's much the same shape as the graph of mental health problems.
Goodbye googling for health treatments and service that are overwhelming and irrelevant.
Hello #chatgpt for personalised, actionable, and relevant info. 🙌
Is Google’s 20-year dominance of search in peril? https://t.co/ldjK6VFtOQ from @TheEconomist https://t.co/ldjK6VFtOQ
Great summary article on the commercial determinants of health and health literacy.
But i think stakeholder's need to amplify their message, over the private sector, through more than just 'trust'.
We don't use tiktok because we trust it.
