Imagine two patients. Let's call them patient A and patient B. Patient A arrives for her routine mamogram.She feels perfectly fine, but an AI system reviewing her scan flags a tiny early stage tumor. So small no doctor noticed. Thanks to that early detection, she's treated promptly and her life is saved.Patient B arrives at A&E with shortness of breath. An AI model trained on thousands of past cases concludes his condition is anxiety. The doctor, trusting the AI, sends him home.Hours later, he dies of a hea ...
Why do we stay silent in uncomfortable situations? | Dr. Sunita Sah | TEDxMiami
TEDx Talks· 2025-09-30 17:00
[Music] Please welcome to the stage Dr. . Sunnita Sa. I want to take you back to my early 20s to my first job as a junior physician in the UK.I was overworked, underpaid, and constantly tired. I was working what we called a one in two, which meant that I worked a full day, stayed on call overnight, worked the whole of the next day before finally going home to get some sleep, only to do the whole thing again the next morning. So when I received out of the blue an invitation to meet with a financial advisor f ...

[Music] Let me take you to the hospital of the future. A place where artificial intelligence is fully integrated with the care you receive. Where it monitors a baby's first breath or it tracks the rhythm of a patient's heart in the ICU.Where it amplifies, not replaces the voices of doctors. Sounds pretty cool, right. Well, I'm here to tell you this isn't the future.It's happening today. And it's happening at that intersection we talked about of artificial intelligence and medicine. Good afternoon.My name is ...
Brain Science at the Intersection of Tradition and Innovation | Dr. Mohammmad Nami | TEDxDGPS Youth
TEDx Talks· 2025-09-29 16:14
It's about the intersection of tradition and innovation when it comes to neuroscience, the brain science. How about that. What do you think about it.Somewhere around 2,500 years ago, the Buddhist monks used to be sitting and doing mindful meditation, claiming that is actually transforming the minds. But today, us neuroscientists in academia, in top-notch academic centers, we sit, we think, and we formulate ways to understand the brain dynamics. We attach sensors to the brain surface. We use other methods to ...

TEDx Talks· 2025-09-19 17:01
[Music] Allow me to introduce you to Pete. Pete is my Tamagotchi. Some of you may remember these. A Tamagotchi is a kind of simple digital pet you can care for. So with Pete, I need to push specific buttons at specific times to feed him and play with him, generally take care of him. And if I do a good job, Pete can have a long and happy life. And if I do a bad job, Pete could die. And honestly, that would make me sad because I care about this simple piece of technology. If I was giving my talk right now and ...
