Ep 63: Brain-computer interfaces - coming miracles or technodehumanisation? With Dr Robyn Waller
Brain-computer interfaces are for some, medical technology bordering on the miraculous. Elon Musk’s neuralink is, for example, promising to cure some cases of blindness and paralysis. It has even been suggested that brain-computer interfaces could help humans become "superhuman": theycould dramatically boost human cognition and even help people become telepathic. On the other hand, science fiction is full of dire warnings about the merging of brain and machine.So where are we currently with brain-computer interfaces? What are the promises? What are the risks? And how could brain-computer interfaces affect our sense of self?Could they enhance it dramatically?Or could they be a terrifying path to techno-dehumanisation.With Dr Robyn Waller of Sussex University*****************For professional and life coaching for health execs, see https://coolcoaching.co.uk/The Medical AI Podcast is the world's number one podcast on medical AI on Apple Podcasts and Spotify (according to Podseo, FeedSpot and Millionpodcasts).For other related podcasts see https://podcast.feedspot.com/uk_ai_podcasts/https://www.millionpodcasts.com/digital-health-podcasts/

Ep 62: Shaking up Healthcare Systems for AI, with Dave Trier, VP at ModelOp
Let’s imagine a utopian future of medical AI. Implantsand wearables constantly monitor your health. AI systems process those health data in real time and recommend any treatments, combining those data with those from your genome. Recommended drugs, naturally, are more efficacious and cheaper than those from 2025. life expectancy will be 100 and old age will be longer, healthier and groovier than ever. BUT … Getting there is anotherthing …. and the problem may not be so much with the technology. Perhaps what is needed is a fundamental shake up of healthcare systems.
