2010: 60k people used food banks. 2023: 2.98 million people used food banks.

11/n As a computer scientist, it is great to see that this problem, and our solution, has struck a chord within the clinical community (see Chris Tomlinson's LinkedIn post linkedin.com/posts/tomlincr…)

3000 views in the first month! And almost as many as the number of citizen scientists who helped us with Eyes on Eyes…thank you all! And thank you ⁦The Zooniverse⁩ #Uveitis #ChildhoodUveitis youtu.be/UquPHiovql0?si…

Researchers have successfully developed an #artificialintelligence tool, Foresight, to predict the kind of health issues a patient could develop in the future. @zeljkokr Richard Dobson Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) kcl.ac.uk/news/researche…

Really pleased to see this work published A #GPT trained to forecast next medical events. Trained on the sequence of SNOMED International concepts derived from the text of #EHRs using CogStack MedCAT. 3 EHRs, >800k patients, > 10yrs data Well done to @zeljkokr and team!

‘“In summary, the management of bilateral iatrogenic I’m very sorry, but I don’t have access to real-time information or patient-specific data, as I am an AI language model.”’ Paul Taylor (Paul Taylor) on the paper AI wrote: lrb.co.uk/blog/2024/marc…

I did a BBC investigation of the idea of the AI apocalypse (bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…). This odd idea has a powerful new lobby. And one crypto-king has just given its lead lobbyists $665 million. To understand the sociology of it, read this papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

A brilliant couple of days in the stanford sunshine at #AAAISpringSymposium sharing our work on automating discharge summaries

Teamwork makes the dream work 😍 A huge thank you to the 3,000 volunteers who contributed to recent research to improve the way a potentially blinding childhood eye disease is detected and monitored. 👁️ Dr Lola Solebo 💙👶🏾👁️👩🏾‍💻 See how citizen scientists are helping: youtu.be/UquPHiovql0

Amazing to see UCL Faculty of Medical Sciences ranked 1st for medical research in Europe and 3rd in the world 👏🏼👏🏼 Lungs for Living

Wow, wow, wow! Superb science with patient benefit at its core. 👇🏽

Huge congratulations to CORU for winning the Healthcare Partnership category at the #LondonHigherAwards 🏆 Their collaboration with UCLH improved patient hospital bed flow using advanced analytical models. 🔗 Learn more: ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/jun/… London Higher

What's the difference between a ransomware platform and a public-private healthcare partnership? Less than there ought to be, says Paul Taylor (Paul Taylor), professor of health informatics at UCL. lrb.co.uk/blog/2024/june…

‘Healthcare organisations are a common target for ransomware attacks. They typically rely on a complex mix of computer systems which are often poorly maintained, while both continuity of provision and confidentiality of data are paramount.’ Paul Taylor: lrb.co.uk/blog/2024/june…

Wrote about the 'gambling scandal', the weird overreach of the Gambling Commission, the industry's longstanding but murky links to the Labour right, and the effects of corruption for the London Review of Books: lrb.co.uk/blog/2024/june…

‘Qilin and Synnovis, the two entities involved in the recent ransomware attack that has disabled laboratory services at London hospitals, have a common purpose: using tech to extract money from healthcare organisations.’ Paul Taylor on the blog: lrb.co.uk/blog/2024/june…
