This week on CTRL + Care, Michelle & Katie dig into a new report on automation in health and care, from robotic process automation to AI, and what it could really mean for productivity, safety, andstaff buy-in. They explore Camden Council’s bold experiment with AI-enabled participatory democracy, Liverpool City Region’s work on digital inclusion, and Ireland’s long-term data modelling for nursing home capacity. And for Cyber Squirrels, it’s Star Trek made real… live translation sunglasses that sound a lot like the Babel Fish.
