If an AI is giving health advice, that’s medicine at scale.
And if it’s medicine, three things are non-negotiable:
1️⃣ Doctors in the loop
2️⃣ Older people in the design – not as an afterthought
3️⃣ Data that actually contains older people

We’re not overwhelmed by ageing.
We’re paying the price for decades of lazy design.
The healthcare system was never built for older people.
It was built for short-term fixes, single diseases, and people who recover fast.

Personally, I’m more afraid of what will become of care without AI.
Despite the hype, the mistakes, the hallucinations, the threats I believe AI can make care better.

It’s not even one thing!
#AI is many has many faces:
🧮 Predictive models: Structured data — labs, claims, vitals — outcomes, stratify risk,.
🗣️ NLP, LLMs, and Generative AI: Messy, human language — summarize, interpret, engage

That question stayed with me.
When doctors want to stop medication, wefocus on the clinical reasoning: Risk of bleeding. Limited benefit. A burden.
✔️ All true — but not enough.

Last week - as a test - I asked an AI "who is Simon Mooijaart?" It gave me a confident, detailed answer... about someone else entirely 🙃
As a geriatrician, this instantly reminded me of delirium - a condition I see daily at the bedside: #delirium

‼️ But an unvalidated CAM variant - with no cognitive testing/interview - is widely used in clinical practice
⚠️ This 'CAM-Lite' has dangerously low sensitivity

Depresribing of antihypertensive medication in the very old, an inspiring topic for lively (and funny) discussion!
