🖥️ However, there was little consistency in how outcomes were reported, and no studies compared climate outcomes of clinical pathways with and without AI. We argue for better integration of environmental impact assessment into AI health research and evaluation [4/5]

🌳 All studies reporting environmental measures evaluated AI algorithms designed to be resource efficient, comparing them with state-of-the-art alternatives. They found large reductions in emissions (2-17x) and energy use (2-752x) could be achieved without reducing clinical performance [3/5]

🩻 Despite increasing concern about AI's climate impacts, environmental outcomes are rarely measured in evaluations of AI-enabled clinical pathways: only 18/4449 studies mentioned sustainability (typically in a single sentence) and only 6 quantitatively measured any environmental outcomes [2/5]

Evaluating the environmental sustainability of AI in radiology: a systematic review of current practice Objective Data-heavy and energy-heavy artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly being applied in healthcare, particularly for clinical imaging, often without consideration of their en...

🚨 New paper: Our systematic review evaluating current practice in measuring environmental sustainability impacts of AI in radiology is now published in BMJ Digital Health and AI: doi.org/10.1136/bmjd...

Coming to terms with climate change: a glossary for climate change impacts on mental health and well-being Climate change is a major threat to global health. Its effects on physical health are increasingly recognised, but mental health impacts have received less attention. The mental health effects of clim...

Two stages of writing:

1) This shouldn't take too long
2) Oh no

Having finally made the leap over here, feels like as good a time as any to publicise this recent podcast where I was interviewed about our research modelling how #UniversalBasicIncome might influence #MentalHealth in the UK! '15 Minutes on Health Inequalities', wherever you get your podcasts 🎙

Thanks Claire, this is really helpful! Could you add me?
