    🩺 AI News – January Edition: Health, Wellbeing & the Future of Care

    Here is the AI Newsletter Page 1 and Page 2

    We’re starting the New Year with a theme that touches every one of us: healthcare. AI is transforming how we diagnose, monitor, and manage our wellbeing — from early detection tools to personalised support and smarter systems that help clinicians spend more time with people, not paperwork. This month’s AI News explores some of the most promising developments, the ethical questions they raise, and what they might mean for our own lives as patients, carers, and active citizens.

    To deepen the conversation, January’s u3a Online Learning Events programme includes several excellent talks on health, science, and technology. You’ll find sessions led by experts, lively Q&As, and opportunities to explore how innovation is reshaping the world around us. Members can browse and book these January events through the Online Learning Events section of the u3a website.

    It’s a great way to start the year: learning something new, connecting with others, and discovering how AI is helping shape a healthier future.
