Digital innovations come with their own environmental cost and should not be seen as a simple fix for healthcare emissions, argue gabrielle samuel Federica Lucivero Anneke Lucassen and Geoffrey Anderson bmj.com/content/385/bm…

The BMJ gabrielle samuel Federica Lucivero Anneke Lucassen "Innovations with large data requirements such as artificial intelligence or big datasets create environmental harms" #ReduceHarms #RecycleBy_Products #CircularEconomy The harms can be reduced by initiatives like this (one of mangy examples): gov.uk/government/new…

June's The Lancet Oncology has 2 great papers highlighting environmental impact of cancer care (& a commentary from me...!) Solutions to these challenges aren't only more environmentally sustainable, but can reduce burden of patient care & costs while maintaining outcomes 🧵

We have been working hard at the CPM to define our strategy for the next few years. More on this soon... but one thing we know is that one of our themes will be to look at issues of #sustainability in #personalisedmedicine. (1/5) youtu.be/2q37-wpzuq8?si…

Our director Anneke Lucassen was involved with colleagues @gabriellesamuel1 and Federica Lucivero from JT Rivers in a #BMJanalysis paper. A free to access link is here: bmj.com/content/385/bm… (2/5)

Other papers on this theme, including from our JRF Sarah Briggs include: jme.bmj.com/content/50/6/3… and this commentary: thelancet.com/journals/lanon…. Sarah's editorial on building climate resilient and low carbon health systems can be found here: bmj.com/content/383/bm…. (3/5)

While #digital innovation can transform patient #health outcomes, its connection to #environmentalhealth is still being explored. This #EnviroWeek, a new paper by gabrielle samuel, University of Toronto's Geoffrey Anderson, Federica Lucivero & Anneke Lucassen shares the potential benefits & perils. ⬇️

We have an exciting event coming up on 2nd Nov, in which songs that have been written based on patient experiences with genomic medicine will be performed by a choir. Keep an eye on our events page for further details in due course: cpm.ox.ac.uk/events/ #GenomicsConversation

Thanks James Buchanan! looping in Caroline Wright Kate Lyle working on this topic, but whom I didn’t get chance to share with before finalising. Also thanks to Prof. Ainsley Newson 💉💉💉💉💉 and colleagues (whose X handles I don’t have) for stimulating this response
