  2. So Japan is trying something to help boost cybersecurity for #hospitals. According to The Japan News:

    "Medical institutions have faced challenges when implementing effective cybersecurity measures as there are multiple IT vendors for different medical devices. This means that facilities have to maintain numerous network connections linking their systems to the outside world.

    To address this, the ministry will provide subsidies to hospitals that consolidate their external connection points, simplifying monitoring and allowing for systems to be isolated faster in the event of an attack."

    The govt will also dispatch cybersecurity experts in the event of a cyberattack.

"Severely #disabled people will be at heightened risk of abuse in #carehomes & #hospitals after the biggest upheaval in #disability #law in a generation overturned 'vital' #legal safeguards, campaigners have warned. They said a supreme court judgment that potentially strips the right of hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people to independent checks on the #safety & appropriateness of their #care 'devalues the #dignity of disabled people'."

  9. The Listener Will See You Now

    Ambient AI now records the conversation at the hospital bed and the exam table. The microphone is optional, for the moment. The receptionist slid a tablet across the counter and asked, in the bright tone reserved for upgrades, whether I would consent to let the clinic "AI Listen" to the appointment. Percy and Lotty, The Boles Brits, were already complaining inside their carrier, due for the rabies shots the state requires. The pitch was efficiency. The software would listen to my conversation with the veterinarian, transcribe it, and "ambient scribe" the care notes so the doctor could spend less time typing and more time with the animals. I declined. There was a checkbox for that, which I noted with the small relief of a man who has read the next paragraph before signing the first. […]

  11. When a white coat meets public spotlight
    "Over past 3 decades, #Thailand encouraged #private #healthcare expansion.. When #hospitals become #publicly #traded commercial commodities, a powerful logic follows: revenue growth, market share.. Under such conditions, it's unrealistic to expect indiv #physicians alone to bear te burden of restraint.. healthcare can't be treated exactly like any oth listed industry w/o consequences. Public trust in #medicine is a national asset"
