#AI for good - here’s the recording. Speakers start around 13 minutes in. It’s worth a listen. Trans-disciplinary thought leaders with threads that can connect and break down siloes. Includes: - Insights from the finance world, - Unleashing your creative problem solving and entrepreneurialism, - Tech for good - real solutions - The power of AI for good in health care = a call to solve the interoperability mess that impedes health care delivery first, then apply patient-centred, doctor-led, solutions (not just apps…) Thanks Rotary Melbourne The Royal Society of Victoria for hosting and Dr. Chris Sotiropoulos Opening Address: Human Rights Commissioner of Australia Lorraine Finlay Speakers and panel session: Finbar OHanlon Dr Dimitrios Salampasis (PhD, F-FIN, MAICD) Aaron Sempf and A/Professor Magdalena Simonis AM the doctor-in-the-room - a must for any #digitalhealth discussions/ innovations.

Do you ever feel no one else cares about the #climatecrisis? New research shows that you are not alone. The good news is that far more people are concerned about climate change than we sometimes feel. Lujain Alqodmani, President World Medical Association adds her voice to #WeAreTheMajority climate action video.

Feeling scared, excited and so so encouraged by seeing that the value of sharing health knowledge to the populous and empowering people to take hold of the health they want is shared.

I was interviewed on #Channel10 #TheProject on #ChronicUTI - a condition which the medical profession is just starting to explore as its own ‘entity’ because it often co-exists with other conditions and requires new diagnostic tools to prove. UTIs although common, sometimes are not that simple. Key points: - urinary tract infections (UTI) affect almost 50% of women at some point in their life - recurrent UTI = 2 UTIs in 6 months and a 3rd within a year - rec UTI management protocols for this exist & widely used - cUTI fall outside of this group and are burdened with a host of symptoms, often co-exists with other conditions, includes recurrent or ‘ongoing persistent infection' - chronic UTI is less commonly talked about and far less well understood hence poorly managed. - advocacy Chronic UTI Australia group to raise awareness. https://lnkd.in/dKmJfVb4 The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) Australian Medical Association Ged Kearney Women's Health Victoria Pelvic Pain Foundation of Australia Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care Kat Theophanous MP Mary-Anne Thomas MP Sarah L.
