“Just adapt.” The expectation for left-handed surgeons 10-15% of surgeons are left-handed, yet most instruments are still designed for right-handed use. This is not preference. It affects precision, comfort, and training. Adaptation should not be mistaken for inclusion.

I am so excited and immensely proud to receive the first copies of my new book!! INTELLIGENT: The Evolution of AI Transforming Healthcare. It is now available globally on Amazon as hardback, paperback and ebook versions. This has been a long journey writing this book and trying to understand the type of book that was necessary and would have the biggest impact. The book reflects a decade of my work and thinking on AI and its role in healthcare. It is written for absolutely anyone interested in this space, from patients, students, clinicians, scientists and health care leaders. Fundamentally, it's a story of AI and how it will impact all of us in healthcare and gives a critical analysis of the current landscape. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

3000m World Champion @joshk97 “is among a modern breed of athlete who prefer to train with feedback not guesswork, training with intention and guided by data.” Other disciplines such as medical training wishing to master a discipline can learn so much from sport. #meded #medtech
