NEW - IBD's Rising Tide, Photo Radar's New Era & AI's Incredible Future

The Nightshift’s Medical Correspondent. Dr. Mitch Shulman joins the show to talk about a new worldwide study that predicts that Canada will see a big jump in cases of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the next 20 years. The study looked at data from 82 countries and shows that Canada is in a phase where the number of people with IBD is increasing, especially among older adults. By the 2030s, over 400,000 Canadians are expected to have IBD. This increase will be tough on Canada's healthcare system. Canada needs to focus on stopping the disease and providing better care for those who already have it.

Automotive writer/expert Lorraine Sommerfeld, from Driving.ca is on the Nightshift, and discusses the evolving landscape of photo radar and road safety. She shares her changing perspective on speed cameras, from being against them to now seeing their potential benefits in protecting vulnerable road users, while also highlighting concerns about their implementation and the need for better driver education.

Technology expert Kris Abel joined the Nightshift, and discussed several cutting-edge developments, including Google's advancements in AI. Google is rolling out new AI features, such as a chatbot-enhanced search mode and a virtual clothing try-on feature. Additionally, Google is launching an "AI Ultra" subscription for $250 monthly, providing access to all its AI services. Furthermore, Abel highlights a groundbreaking innovation in medical technology: researchers at Caltech have developed a technique to 3D print implants and structures inside the body using ultrasound, offering a minimally invasive approach with dissolvable materials.
