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.

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.
