In this episode of Fika Bites, hosts John and Andy sit down with Huw Davies from Davies Furlong Consulting to discuss the refreshed National Competency Framework for data professionals in healthcare. The conversation delves into the rapid evolution of data analytics, driven by machine learning, AI, and the increasing importance of data ethics and governance.
Huw explains how the framework has evolved to include new roles such as data ethicists and governance specialists, reflecting the growing need for ethical oversight in the age of AI. The framework is designed to help professionals identify their skills, navigate potential career paths, and ultimately improve healthcare outcomes by leveraging data effectively.
Huw also emphasises that the framework is a product of collective input from the data community, and encourages more professionals to get involved. He advocates for the use of resources like AnalystX and highlights the framework’s potential in guiding the future of healthcare through informed, data-driven decisions.

Welcome to *AI with Shaily*! 🎙️ I’m Shailendra Kumar, your host and AI enthusiast, bringing you the latest breakthroughs in artificial intelligence. Today, we’re exploring the cutting-edge world of wearable ultrasound technology for muscle monitoring — a fascinating innovation that’s changing how we understand and track muscle health. 💪✨

Imagine a device that lets you look inside your muscles anytime, anywhere, without the discomfort of needles or sticky electrodes. Sounds like science fiction? Well, wearable ultrasound is making this a reality! These compact, flexible gadgets use ultrasound waves to create high-resolution images of muscle movement and thickness in real time. Unlike traditional electromyography (EMG), which requires electrodes glued to your skin, this technology is non-invasive and much more comfortable. It can even monitor subtle muscles like the diaphragm during breathing — a vital function often overlooked. 🌬️🔍

What’s truly exciting is how user-friendly these devices have become. Made with soft, flexible silicone, they fit comfortably on your body all day long. They’re wireless and low-power, perfect for continuous, long-term monitoring without interfering with your daily activities or style. Whether it’s helping patients with respiratory issues or enhancing control over prosthetic limbs, the potential applications are vast and promising. 🌟📡

I’ve personally worked with athletes who struggled to gauge muscle fatigue during training. This technology could revolutionize sports science and rehabilitation by providing precise, real-time muscle condition updates — all without interrupting their workout routines. Imagine the edge this gives to performance and recovery! 🏃‍♂️⚡

Adding AI into the mix takes things even further. Advanced AI algorithms analyze the ultrasound data instantly, delivering deeper insights into muscle health, predicting problems before they happen, and customizing therapies on the spot. Plus, wireless data transmission means coaches, clinicians, or trainers can access this valuable information anytime, anywhere around the globe. 🌍🤖

Here’s a thought to ponder: If you had instant, inside-out muscle data at your fingertips, how would it transform your approach to fitness or health? 🤔

Before we close, a quick tip: Keep an eye on advancements in flexible materials and AI integration — these are the key drivers enhancing both the comfort and accuracy of wearable ultrasound devices. 🔬🧩

As Alan Turing wisely said, “We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.” Wearable ultrasound is expanding our vision inside the human body, and AI is illuminating the path forward. 🌟🧠

For more exciting AI insights, follow me on YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Medium. Don’t forget to subscribe to *AI with Shaily* for your weekly dose of AI breakthroughs. I’d love to hear your thoughts — share how you think this technology could impact your life in the comments! 💬✨

Thanks for listening, and until next time, stay curious and keep innovating! 🚀😊

Wearable Ultrasound and AI: Revolutionizing Muscle Monitoring and Health Insights

Dr. Susan Feng Lu, Professor of Operations Management and Statistics and the Alan Hudson Chair in Health Policy at the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, shares valuable insights from her research titled “Leveraging Machine Learning for Healthcare Operations: Enhancing Efficiency and Quality.” Her work highlights how advanced machine learning techniques can be applied to improve operational decision-making in healthcare, leading to both increased efficiency and better patient outcomes.

Professor Lu’s research investigates the operational foundations of healthcare delivery, with a focus on how public policy and technological innovation shape the efficiency, quality, and equity of healthcare systems. Her expertise spans areas including health technology, nursing home operations, and cardiac care delivery. She leverages empirical methods and machine learning to tackle critical challenges in healthcare operations. Her work has been published in premier journals such as Management Science, Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (MSOM), Production and Operations Management (POMS), Review of Economics and Statistics, Journal of Health Economics, and Information Systems Research, as well as high-profile interdisciplinary outlets like Science and Nature Scientific Reports.

Professor Susan’s research has received numerous awards, major research grants, and widespread media coverage, including features in Barron’s, Nature, Freakonomics, and Vox. She serves the academic community as an Associate Editor for Management Science, Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, and Production and Operations Management Society, and currently leads as President of the Chinese Economists Society.

Die Digitalisierung des Gesundheitswesens schreitet voran, doch gerade bei sensiblen Arzneimitteln wie medizinischem Cannabis zeigen aktuelle Gerichtsurteile: Nicht alles, was technisch machbar ist, ist auch rechtlich zulässig. Das Landgericht Hamburg und das Oberlandesgericht Frankfurt mahnen zur Zurückhaltung bei Fernverschreibungen, insbesondere bei Werbung mit Begriffen wie „einfach, schnell & günstig“. Das Bundessozialgericht stellt klare Anforderungen an die Begründung und Dokumentation von Verordnungen zulasten der Krankenkassen. Der Bundesgerichtshof erklärt Cannabis-Verschreibungen ohne medizinische Notwendigkeit sogar für strafbar. Für Plattformen im Bereich Telemedizin bedeutet das: Es braucht neue Standards, transparente Prozesse und eine konsequente Orientierung an ärztlicher Verantwortung. Nur dann entsteht eine zukunftssichere, rechtlich belastbare Versorgung.

Cannabis & Telemedizin: Dr. Zoom – Wie weit darf digitale Versorgung gehen?
