Singapore General Hospital uses AI to enhance paediatric emergency training
You know, a rural GP in Murchison sees a crook kid maybe twice a year - not enough to keep the instinct sharp. Now here's the thing: an AI platform training staff on paediatric emergencies could let that GP, and the volunteer ambulance crew, rehearse the rare, terrifying cases safely, again and again.
