Quotes  

• “The onset of digital health was the need to collect all the patient information and then make it available at the point of care.”
• “From a mindset standpoint, we have moved from that data-intensive digital health to more knowledge-and-services-oriented digital health.”
• “I think [the target] is: how can we actually use decision support to impact the operationalization of healthcare services?”
• “The entire reason for Explainable AI is to build trust, and once we build the trust, then the uptake of that decision model will actually be high. Otherwise, it will be used on and off, and there will always be ‘can I have a second opinion?’”
• “Biases come at two different levels, which we need to understand: Is it an ethical bias, or is it a bias that would affect the performance of the model?”
• “There are two sides of research: one is fundamental research, and one is applied research. And it is the fundamental research that is supported by these collaborations, because that is where we are asking the hard questions.”
• “One cannot discount the utility and applicability of artificial intelligence in health. It comes from all sides.”

This week, in McCook, Nebraska, a couple goes missing, with the family suspecting foul play, but they never suspect just how, or why any of this has happened. Turns out, jealously, anger, threesomes, throuples, and sexually explicit graffiti caused it. Also, it just shows how you can never tell what freaky & wild things are happening, behind closed doors, in what seem to be extremely normal & square households. And what untold horrors can happen there, including some of the most hideous body disposal, ever!A twisted tale, where no one seems to do whatever the normal thing to do is!!

Along the way, we find out that sometimes people who have nothing to do with anything get murdered, that female body parts may  more buoyant than male body parts, and that throuples are just as unhappy as any couple!!
