About this audiobook
AI can draft a clinical note, flag an abnormal scan and produce a confident answer. Understanding what deserves trust is harder.
In this ten-chapter audio edition of Do No Automated Harm, E.C. Caudex explores AI in healthcare—from ambient scribes and telephone services to imaging, translation, education and research. Written for clinicians, nurses and medical students, it explains how language models work, where they can help, and why fluent output can still be wrong.
With Scotland and England as its home ground, the book weighs patient safety, confidentiality, regulation, responsibility, inequality and the economics of care. It distinguishes promising experiments from benefits demonstrated in patient care.
This digital-voice edition contains the ten main chapters and omits the printed appendices, glossary and reference notes. No computing background is assumed. This is an educational discussion, not a clinical treatment manual. Narrated using an ElevenLabs digital voice.
