Description
Miguel Mascarenhas and co-authors wrote this 2023 article on how smart tools could make digestive health care greener. Health care leaves a large carbon footprint, and AI tools have one too, which raises a fair question about using more of them. The authors look at capsule endoscopy, in which a patient swallows a tiny camera, as a test case.
They argue that AI reading of capsule images can cut repeat exams, travel, and wasted gear, trimming the footprint of each exam while sharpening accuracy. The piece also weighs how ledger tools from the blockchain world could track supplies and records in a way that backs lasting green practice. The authors frame smart care and green care as goals that can pull in the same direction.
