I don’t think how people are tracking how quickly this is happening, for better or worse.

Expert consensus meeting on digital mental health in Rome led by Andrea Cipriani, John Torous, Arjune Sen + Katharine Smith. Great discussions, plus a blast of Italian sun.

🩺 New on Substack: When We Forgive Doctors but Flay the Bots

We pardon human mistakes - but crucify machines for theirs.
If we trust doctors despite their flaws, why demand perfection from code?

Amazing experience to bring Dr Bot to Cheltenham Festival on stage with technology journalist Lara Lewington + chaired by the BBC's Claudia Hammond. Great discussions, and a lively audience.

Cant wait to read After Shock by @ranaawdish.bsky.social . Dr Awdish's storytelling is superb and her writing unsparing.

Dr Leana Wen's review of my book Dr Bot
@yalebooks.bsky.social
Dr. Wen writes that my arguments “have reframed how I think about its role in medicine.”

Honoured to be featured in the Irish Daily Mail on my new book Dr Bot @yalebooks.bsky.social

AI can already spot rare diseases, predict suicide risk & even write more empathic notes than doctors.

Question is: who should run our medical future: governments or tech giants?

My twin has myotonic dystrophy. At one appointment she was told cramps in her feet could be ‘ironed out with a rolling pin.’ Another doc put her symptoms down to ‘wear and tear’ — as if she were a trapeze artist. My column in today’s Irish Daily Mail on patients, docs & AI.

Really honoured to see this review of Dr Bot by philosopher and writer Nigel Warbuton in @thenewworldmag.bsky.social . Great to have endorsements from doctors as well as philosophers.

Great night of discussion on AI and medicine over dinner at the Royal Society of Medicine in London. Glad to be a guest of Richard Susskind who spoke with Sandra L J Johnson. Chaired by President Julia Manning and hosted also with Gillian Leng CBE. Very memorable night

Stonking review of Dr Bot. Huge thanks to Dr Richard Lehman for this review in the British Journal of General Practice. Very gratifying that a leading British doctor and researcher, someone who has worked in primary care for years "gets" it.

Grateful for this review by Dr Muiris Houston in the @irishtimes.com of #DrBot
He says, "Most doctor will agree with Charlotte Blease when she outlines the benefits of AI-driven technology for the delivery of healthcare."

Doctors prize “judgment.” But patients don’t want judgment—they want health. I discuss some personal lessons from Richard Susskind in my new piece:
