Digital phantoms in medical research
Digital phantoms are virtual representations of the human body used in medical research to test equipment, train medical professionals and develop or validate algorithms. These models can be created from ‘real-world’ clinical data or from ‘synthetic data’. Phantoms derived from clinical data often serves as ‘ground truth’ reference values anchored in empirical observations. However, there is growing demand for synthetic digital phantoms and datas…
Realising the digital twin
This paper examines ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) associated with healthcare digital twins (DTs). Using a systematic thematic analysis, we identify key themes across ethical, legal, and social categories, as well as practical barriers to adoption and implementation. Findings reveal a range of concerns (e.g. lack of empirical validation of DT value propositions) and gaps between the promise of healthcare DTs and the reality of deploying…
(De)troubling transparency
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques occupy a prominent role in medical research in terms of the innovation and development of new technologies. However, while many perceive AI as a technology of promise and hope-one that is allowing for more early and accurate diagnosis-the acceptance of AI and ML technologies in hospitals remains low. A major reason for this is the lack of transparency associated with these technolo…
If You're Going to Trust the Machine, Then That Trust Has Got to Be Based on Something
The role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in clinical decision-making raises issues of trust. One issue concerns the conditions of trusting the AI which tends to be based on validation. However, little attention has been given to how validation is formed, how comparisons come to be accepted, and how AI algorithms are trusted in decision-making. Drawing on interviews with collaborative researchers developing three AI technologies for the early diag…
Professional Sport and Initial Mental Health Public Disclosure Narratives
The disclosure of absences from professional sporting activities to the media is a routine and generally unproblematic part of a sporting career. However, when the reason for the absence relates to mental health concerns, players can encounter difficulties in trying to define, describe and conceptualise their own issues while attempting to maintain privacy as they undergo assessment and treatment. Drawing on ethnomethodology and conversation anal…
Perspectives on the practice of community music therapy in rural primary schools of Malawi
The author, a board-certified music therapist, and two colleagues, a literacy specialist and a special educator, travelled to Malawi, Africa in 2013 to explore the incidences of disabilities in the schools outside of the capital city of Lilongwe. Preliminary information was collected on the educational system, the types of strategies and supports that were in place for students with special needs, and the use of music as a resource in the classro…
Gender and the Limits to Diversity in the Contemporary British Army
This article considers equal opportunities and diversity management policies in the contemporary British Army for what they indicate, not only about policy frameworks for women's military participation, but also for what they tell us about the construction of ideas about gender and difference within that organization. The article sets out contextual information on women in the British Army and describes the research methodology on which this arti…
Discourses of Gender in the Contemporary British Army
This article is about the discourses of gender which circulate within debates about the inclusion of women in the British Army. Drawing on material from elite policy debates within the British Ministry of Defence, Army, and Parliament, the article uses a methodology informed by theories of discourse analysis to examine how the figures of the male and female soldier are constructed. It focuses on three specific policy debates: the expansion in the…
