AI safety and security. As the UK idiom says: “more haste, less speed”. In the race to go to market, are we cutting corners on how we go to market? This week “Science” has published a paper calling “on major tech companies and public funders to allocate at least one-third of their AI R&D budget, comparable to their funding for AI capabilities, toward addressing the […] R&D challenges and ensuring AI safety and ethical use“. The paper identifies the concrete R&D challenges and makes pointed governance recommendations. In my view ,it provides an interesting comparison framework for the EU’s AI Act. “A first set of R&D areas needs breakthroughs to enable reliably safe AI. Without this progress, developers must either risk creating unsafe systems or falling behind competitors who are willing to take more risks. If ensuring safety remains too difficult, extreme governance measures would be needed to prevent corner-cutting driven by competition and overconfidence.” The paper concludes: “To steer AI toward positive outcomes and away from catastrophe, we need to reorient. There is a responsible path—if we have the wisdom to take it.”👇🏻👇🏻

The #lonelinessawarenessweek is about to start. What about #loneliness in #nursinghomes? We recently presented in #GeriCat24 data from Nursing Homes in Catalonia: 70% of the residents without severe cognitive decline were feeling lonely right before the pandemic... I am afraid we still need the #socialrevolution in residential care proposed by Theurer et al. back in 2015 https://lnkd.in/dywe8C43 ?

Gràcies ICERCA - Centres de Recerca de Catalunya per organitzar "The impact of Impact" I reunir en el PRBB (Barcelona Biomedical Research Park) experts internacionals per debatre sobre l'impacte en el món de la recerca. Thanks to: David Phipps (he/him/his) Esther De Smet David Budtz Pedersen PhD Paula Adam it has been a pleasure to hear from you about how we are in the same pathway, walking side by side for a change in the way we look and how to explain our science and research. We should start with WHY, why do you do what you do. As it already says Simon Sinek , focus on your purpose from the beginning, planning your impact from the beginning, and as benefits in companies, research publications will come as a benefit not as a reason for your research. We need to avoid that being published becomes our Ikigay. Of course we need allies and leaderships in this journey, assessment agencies are key actors that have the responsibility to foster Excellence Research as defined by Canadian Institutes of Health Research | Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada where rigour, inclusion, diversity of perspectives, ethics are integrated to maximize impact and benefit to society. I truly believe that change is possible, a new way of Science Social Responsibility focusing on purpose by doing it in a responsible way. We all can be change makers. #impact #research #science #researchimpact #socialimpact #universities #assesment #purpose #ods #changetheory #changemanker #socialimpact

Did you know that urban environments can significantly exacerbate noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes? At Bax & Company, with Healthy Cities., we are directly addressing these challenges through our participation in the Horizon Europe project, HORUS - Urban Health, focusing on three key #European cities, to reduce the prevalence of NCDs and create more liveable, resilient #cities. 🗣️ Ruth Gow, Architect - Expert in Urban Planning & Housing: "Living in a city can often involve high levels of stress, unhealthy diets and sedentary lifestyles, all of which are major contributors to NCDs. "However, we can also plan our cities to encourage healthier habits. By increasing the amount of green spaces, ensuring access to healthy food outlets or promoting walking and cycling by investing in infrastructure, we can support people in adopting healthier lifestyles, and reduce the burden of NCDs in urban settings." 🗣️ Sebastiaan van Herk, PhD, Bax & Company CEO & Founder of Healthy Cities: "Our efforts in cities like #Rotterdam, #Valencia, and #Rijeka involve using the Healthy Cities Generator to bring innovative, data-driven solutions that enhance urban health, and better develop the Healthy Cities Generator for greater impact in the future."

Today, Redacción Médica interviewed Dr. Aroa Soriano Fernández to learn about the progress of the SEHOP-PENCIL project 🔬, led by #VHIR in #collaboration with the Spanish Society of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology. The aim of the study is to improve access to personalized medicine for #children and #adolescents with #cancer, regardless of where they live. This is made possible through coordination among experts from national #pediatric #oncology centers, with 10 genomic hubs capable of sequencing samples from remote #hospitals. ✅ It is expected that in September, the #project will be opened to all centers and hospitals treating #childhood cancer in the country.

Have you noticed that the word 'art' is included in the word 'part'? Do you know that community art projects have the ability to do just that? To foster a sense of belonging and connection within a community, making their members feel part of something bigger. And that, is, a life-changing experience. When people come together to be part of something bigger than themselves, the experience is truly priceless. Community art projects have the unique power to break down barriers, encourage collaboration, and cultivate a deep sense of shared purpose. And that is precisely what Artenea does. ARGIA FUNDAZIOA and Sorkari have put together a step by step guide for those that want to replicate this experience in ther communities. As the project presented by these two amazing entities with whome I am proud to collaborate, got awarded a recognition, #PremioElkarlan, they committed themselves and to Eusko Jaurlaritza - Gobierno Vasco, and to the world, to share the knowledge and the experience. https://lnkd.in/diA9Kz8b The next step is yours: Are you ready to live this experience? #communityart #senseofbelonging

🚨 #HumanError can impact in any task, being critical in sectors with high impact as #MassTransports (aviation, railway, etc.), #HealthCare or #NuclearPlants. 🎉Our paper "Evaluation of the mental #Workload in the Nuclear Sector with #PhysiologicalSignals to minimize Human Error" have been accepted at 50 Anual Meeting of Spanish Nuclear Society (#SNE). 🧠 Nuclear Plants have a long culture of #0Errors and validated protocols to minimize its likelihood, being one of the sector with lowe accident rates. However, more research is needed to understand real time #Mental #WorkerStatus and its impact on human error to go beyond traditional approaches. Two risky and oposite situations arise: 1) lack of #attention, typical of highly automated situations (#HumanOutoftheLoop); and 2) #MentalOverload due to complex task, time pressure, etc. 👏 🎊 Congratulations to the whole team: Ricardo Bayona Salvador, Julian Mendoza, Yulai Pérez Ripoll, José Laparra Hernández, Mercedes Sanchis Almenara and Raquel Ruiz Folgado from Instituto de Biomecánica (IBV) and GDES | Grupo Dominguis Energy Services. 👀Come to Córdoba (Spain) in October (https://lnkd.in/dDg68JyX) to check our innovative approach and main results!! 😜

We are thrilled to announce the publication of our latest #research article “El relevante papel de los cuidadores de pacientes usuarios de analgésicos opioides” in Farmacéuticos Comunitarios, the journal of #SEFAC (Sociedad Española de Farmacia Clínica, Familiar y Comunitaria). In this study, our #ULL research group focus on #characterizing caregivers of patients using opioid analgesics and identifying #risk factors that increase the likelihood of #MedicationRelatedProblems (MRPs). As polypharmacy rises with the aging population, caregivers play a critical role in ensuring medication safety and improving the quality of life for patients. By better understanding caregiver knowledge and their impact on treatment outcomes, we aim to enhance strategies that reduce MRPs, particularly with #opioids, where the risks are significant. 💡 Informed caregivers = Safer patients and improved quality of life. #Publication #Research #Healthcare #Caregivers #Opioids #Polypharmacy #SEFAC
