AI and the Mental Healthcare Worker

 

This beautiful night sky over Cebu City is my view for tonight as we discuss about the use of AI in mental health over #HealthXPH on Blue Sky.

Stephanie Miaco shared her write up on AI and the [Mental] Healthcare Worker where she explores the use of AI bots and therapy replacement options.  It is about Artificial Intelligence and replacing human empathy.

Focused Effort

One drawback of wearing many hats is that it becomes difficult to focus.  There are a lot of evidence that shows focused effort makes for more success than multi-tasking.

 

Hospital-Related Cyberbashing

I just feel that it is unfair for entitled relatives of patients to pass judgement and rant on social media about the weaknesses of healthcare systems and incompetencies of healthcare workers who provided medical care to their patients to the best of their abilities.  Changes to improve the healthcare system is hardly ever talked about on social media platforms, and yet when patients face poor outcomes, these posts go viral on social media without the slightest hint of being evidence-based.

Ofcourse, we express our condolences and our deepest sympathies to the bereaved family, but there must be a more constructive way to express one's grief instead of tarnishing the reputation of a public hospital just because services are provided free of charge.

Sharing some of the sage advice shared by the #HealthXPH peeps on how to address these issues and concerns, mainly to bring the conversation offline.

Badian-Malabuyoc Medical Mission

The KAAMBAG Clinic HIV Counselots join the Cebu Provincial Government in their Badian-Malabuyoc medical mission where 101 constituents of Malabuyoc and 42 constituents of Badian were successfiully tested for HIV and #knowtheirstatus. 

We trooped to the beach at Basdako to inhale some of the fresh sea breeze to decompress.

Borrowed Shoes Theory

Today I experimented with airfryer-baked cheese omelet and it turned out well.

While at Nichols, I was preparing post-lunch dessert of avocado cake ala mode with creamy avocado ice cream.  While the seniors were eagerly awaiting their share, auntie Annie grabbed half the slice of cake on her plate and stuffed it into her mouth.  She couldnt wait for the icecream...  she raised her hands in supplication saying "thank you Lord!" when I was scolding her to "wait!"
