Die psychotherapeutische Versorgung in Deutschland wird auf verschiedenen Ebenen systematisch zerstört. Entgegen der Zusicherungen im Koalitionsvertrag wird die Ausbildung nicht finanziert + die Vergütungen der Psychotherapeuten so stark gekürzt, dass ihre wirtschaftliche Existenz gefährdet ist +

Es gab Änderungsanträge zum GKV-Beitragsstabilisierungsgesetz. Mit dabei: Die gesetzlich garantierte Mindestvergütung für Psychotherapie soll gestrichen werden. Die Psychotherapie in Deutschland ist in Gefahr. Folgt @abpsych.bsky.social und lest hier mal rein: www.dptv.de/wissensdaten...

How can we make staying active more engaging? 🤔 Our research on Active Audio Adventures (presented at MuC 2025) shows that blending storytelling, gamification & real-time cues (like haptics) boosts motivation, lowers cognitive load & supports sustainable activity 🏃‍♂ #DigitalHealth #ScienceForSociety

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

This result keeps showing up in studies. GPT-4 does a good job on patient care tasks, better than the mean doctor, but doctor-AI teams do not outperform AI alone. Figuring out how to gain more when human & AI work together needs to be a bigger priority in integrating AI into work
