The White House revealed new details Wednesday regarding the Trump administration's efforts to advance healthcare technology and partnerships with private-sector technology companies.

NHS still reliant on 'archaic' fax machines

BBC News

Hospitals are still reliant on "archaic" fax machines with thousands still in use, a survey shows. Senior doctors said the continued use of the outdated technology was "ludicrous", and modern forms of communication were urgently needed. The poll, by the Royal College of Surgeons using freedom of information laws, revealed nearly 9,000 fax machines were in use across England. Newcastle upon Tyne NHS Trust topped the list, relying on 603 machines. "Alongside innovation like artificial intelligence and robot-assisted surgery, NHS hospital trusts remain stubbornly attached to using archaic fax machines for a significant proportion of their communications. This is ludicrous," said Richard Kerr, chair of the Royal College of Surgeons' Commission on the Future of Surgery.

Unified modeling language (UML)6 is the de facto standard for representing object-oriented designs. It does a fine job of recording designs, but it has a severe problem: its diagrams don't convey what humans need to know, making the diagrams difficult to understand. This is why most software developers use UML only when forced to.1 For example, the UML diagrams in Figures 1 and 2 portray the embedded software in a fax machine. While these diagrams are attractive, they do not even tell you which objects control which others. Which object is the topmost controller over this fax machine? Which object(s) control the Modem object?


Can you recruit for diversity with machine learning? A provocative chat with HiringSolved

#artificialintelligence

One of the best ways to get me into an interview is to tick me off. That's how this piece on AI and diversity began. I got a PR pitch on behalf of HiringSolved. It was about the benefits of AI to recruiting – but little on the algorithmic discrimination we've covered on diginomica ("You're not our kind of people" – why analytics and HR fail many good people). So I asked if the CEO of HiringSolved, Shon Burton, would be up for a hard look at machine-assisted recruiting.
