Every doctor keeps a too-busy pile. For ten years mine held a bladder diary app. This year my medical receptionist and I built it with AI, and neither of us can code. Free, ad-free and anonymous, for any clinician and any patient, anywhere.

Making art with AI could be a population health intervention, not a threat to working artists. A surgeon's case for creative access, flow and better health.

For most of my career, I have flown long-haul badly. Three weeks to recover. Two hours of sleep a night for the first week. I had tried everything I knew. This time I put the problem to AI and did exactly what it told me to do. I came back from London without jetlag and a kilogram lighter than when I left. This is what the protocol looked like.

While I was mid-flight, my AI avatar was presenting at a board meeting. What started as skepticism turned into a breakthrough for medical education, and a real-world test of how AI can expand human presence. This story explores how and why I created a digital twin, the ethical foundations guiding its use, and what this means for the future of communication.
