Arthur C. Clarke once remarked that any sufficiently advanced technology would be indistinguishable from magic. I reckon ChatGPT, which I have been playing with this week, comes pretty close.
Here are a couple of examples of responses to a couple of my questions to it:
Q What Is The Future Of Digital Health Globally?
A: The future of digital health is likely to be characterized by increased adoption and integration of technology in healthcare. This may include the use of telemedicine, electronic health records, wearable devices, and other digital tools to improve patient care, reduce costs, and increase efficiency.
One key area of focus for digital health in the future is likely to be the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to analyze large amounts of healthcare data and assist with decision-making. AI and machine learning can help to identify patterns and trends that may not be visible to humans, and can assist with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
Another area of focus is likely to be the use of digital tools to improve access to care, particularly in underserved or rural areas. This may include the use of telemedicine to connect patients with healthcare providers remotely, and the use of mobile health apps and other digital tools to enable self-management of chronic conditions.
Overall, the future of digital health is likely to be marked by a continued shift towards the use of technology to improve healthcare delivery, with the goal of increasing access, improving outcomes, and reducing costs.

Q. How Important Is Digital Health In Clinical Care Delivery In Australia?
A. Digital health technologies have the potential to greatly improve clinical care delivery in Australia by increasing efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility of healthcare services. Some examples of digital health technologies that are commonly used in clinical care delivery in Australia include electronic health records (EHRs), telemedicine, and health apps.
EHRs are digital versions of traditional paper-based medical records that allow healthcare providers to access and share patient information more easily and accurately. Telemedicine allows healthcare providers to remotely diagnose and treat patients using videoconferencing or other digital technologies. Health apps can provide patients with access to a range of health-related information and resources, including tracking and managing their own health and wellness.
Overall, the use of digital health technologies in clinical care delivery in Australia is increasing and is expected to continue to do so in the future. These technologies can help to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery, and are likely to play an increasingly important role in the delivery of clinical care in Australia.

Frankly I am astonished with how well this works – and it is only a beta version! I have no idea where this will all lead but it will be fascinating to watch! Frankly I would struggle to write such concise paragraphs on these topics in 20 seconds....

Does Australia have a unique identification system for citizens and residents?
Yes, Australia has a unique identification system for its citizens and residents. The system is called the "Australia Card," and it is used to establish and verify an individual's identity. The Australia Card is a national identification card that contains personal information such as name, date of birth, photograph, and a unique identification number. The card is issued by the Department of Human Services, and it is used for a variety of purposes, including accessing government services, applying for a passport, and enrolling to vote. The Australia Card is not mandatory for all Australians, but it is required for certain activities such as enrolling in school or university, or applying for a job that requires a security clearance.
Trevor I think this comment is both off-topic for this post and incorrect. AFAIK we do not have an Australia Card.
Does anyone else have a view?
David.
It was my Q&A at https://chat.openai.com/chat, as I should have made clear. I apologise for the lapse.
Trevor,
Remember tha ChatGPT is based on a fact base that is 1-2 years old but it is still way off factually here as the Australia Card was canned in he 1980s!
David.
Seems ChatGPT is a quick learner! I just got!
Does Australia have a unique identification system for citizens and residents?
Yes, Australia has a unique identification system for citizens and residents called the "Medicare card." The Medicare card serves as proof of identity and is used for accessing healthcare services through the Medicare system. It is issued to all Australian citizens and permanent residents, as well as some temporary residents. The card contains the holder's name, date of birth, and a unique Medicare number. It is important to note that the Medicare card is not a national identification card, but it is widely accepted as a form of identification in many situations.
Very close to true!
Who is conning who? Are you so gullible?
All it is doing is repeating the self-serving sales pitch of many a vendor, hopeful entrepreneur and bureaucrat.
Just because many people believe the claims doesn't make them valid or reasonable.
AI and ML is like trying to drive a car by looking through the rear-view mirror. The past is not a good guide to the future.
10:51 not sure I completely follow? could you deliberate a bit more, please?
The underlying frameworks and methods are impressive science but still in the infancy. I think we will look back in a few years with the same wonderment as we do with computer games and CGI. What seemed mind blowing a few years ago....
"The underlying frameworks and methods are impressive science" they are technology, not science.
Not a lot has changed in the forty odd years (never mind a few years) since the Fifth Generation Computer Systems project and the Expert Systems fad of the 1980s, in fact much is being reinvented and with similar results - a failure to deliver on the promise.
In this case the lessons of past are a good guide to the future.
No the science is impressive - as is the process of applying that scientific knowledge for practical applications(technology). Like Sarah I don't get your earlier beef.
Seems like a suitable replacement for ADHA.
Potential benefits are not guaranteed. "Digital health technologies have the potential to greatly improve..." a lot of big promises from theory but very hard to achieve in practice. Designs & implementations are not tested if they can achieve those promises before expending millions to expand & repeat. The promoters rabbit the same promises that were published decades ago that are quoted as facts from research but the original sources are about "possibilities" not realities.
