Care happens in interaction between the patient and the clinician, in conversation where the patient and clinician uncover or develop a shared understanding of the problematic situation of the patient...

We MUST CARE!
Care, a practice by which a human sets out to solve the problematic situation of another human, is replaced by the processing of their data. Care becomes depersonalized, dehumanized, disembodied.“- VM Montori MD.

Otherwise, users are held accountable while unable to opt out, give informed consent given the opacity of your tools features and flaws, or appraise and override their outputs.

Only these tools people can use carefully, and be held responsible for what they deliberately do with them.

When not, the solution is to keep tinkering. It ain’t to release prematurely, protected by transferring responsibility to tool’s users.

Yes, people need to use tools responsibly, but tools that are understandable, legible, truthful, designed to extend and enable human expression, effort, and values, firmly under human comprehension + control.

Clinicians, patients, teachers, students, families, communities. We are not the unpaid, unprogrammed, cost-saving, minimal-viable-product enabling bit. We are not your moral crumple zones, your accountability sinks, your scapegoats.

This is critical in healthcare where care is way more important than efficiency, productivity, speed, or convenience. (3/7)

Developers must steer, design, and implement tools to enable personal + community flourishing, keep people safe, and support work + play, not the other way around.

If you won’t, then you are NOT ready to implement. You are NOT to be trusted with their governance. (2/7)

I think it is time to reaffirm and defend our human dignity.

A great discussion paper by Montori et al. for @harvard-carr-ryan.bsky.social.

They warn that surveillance capitalism is reshaping healthcare into a system focused on data rather than people, enabling Big Tech to commodify human experience and consolidate power:

The encroachment of surveillance capitalism into healthcare takes place as healthcare becomes increasingly industrialized.

Priorizar a los pacientes con las mayores necesidades de atención: es hora de que los médicos de familia lideren

por Amanda Niklasson a, Victor M. Montori, Minna Johansson Traducción del original en Am Fam Physician. 2025;111(4):302-303 a Global Center for Sustainable Healthcare, Gothenburg, Sweden, and University of Gothenburg Según una estimación, los médicos de familia tendrían que trabajar 27 horas diarias para seguir las guías de práctica clínica que se aplican a sus pacientes, y más de la mitad de esas horas se dedicarían a la prevención en individuos asintomáticos.
