12% more breast cancers detected with potential workload savings of 30% in the UK’s first prospective evaluation of breast screening AI. More than two million women are screened for breast cancer each year in the UK, but breast cancer is extremely hard to detect. About 20% of women with breast cancer have tumours that are missed by mammogram screening, which is why many countries mandate that two radiologists should read every mammogram. An artificial intelligence (AI) breast screening solution called Mia helped doctors find an additional 12% more cancers than in routine practice, as announced today by Kheiron Medical, NHS Grampian, the in University of Aberdeen and Microsoft . This augmented AI workflow also showed a decrease in women recalled unnecessarily for further assessment and modelled a workload reduction of up to 30%.

Working with APIs can be a bit awkward. Wouldn’t it be lovely if there was a nifty little tool that did all of the API calls for you, and integrated nicely with your existing tools? 🤔 Yes it would! That’s what haktrails does. Here's what it can do 👇 https://loom.ly/xxf2-cs

Building a platform is a significant investment for any firm. Treating platform development as a one-and-done project jeopardises that investment. Without continuous evolution of a platform to meet emerging business needs, the value it delivers to the business reduces, making platforms increasingly irrelevant. Platforms need to be treated as products, with long lived teams maintaining and evolving them. The question often asked is, 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨-𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 ?  Platform capabilities generally represent common shared functionality across portfolios of customer journeys and business value stream. Analysing these portfolios for the common shared functionality makes it possible to forecast platform investments needed to build and adapt these capabilities. This should also indicate the size of the team needed to maintain the platform as a product. The demand on a platform team will fluctuate over time requiring backlog prioritisation or scaling the team. #platforms #platformengineering #softwareengineering #technology #strategy

Today is day 4 of launch week 🚀 and we're shipping 'related resources'. https://lnkd.in/eJpEqUuS This gives you the ability to view related sessions, errors, logs and traces from any given resource on the page. We call this concept “cohesion”, meaning that all of your Sessions Replays, Logs, Errors, and Traces should link to each other. More here: https://lnkd.in/eZshffRg In general, the goal here is minimize clicks and searches, so we're migrating to slide-out panels so you can e.g. view related logs without even having to migrate from session replay! Hopefully this makes it even easier to get full context on your application.

The state of software requirements is alarmingly inadequate. After analysing hundreds of thousands of requirements that was the key takeaway from our recent podcast with Colin Hammond (ScopeMaster Ltd). Poor requirements not only lead to ballooning project budgets but also seem to be an accepted norm in the software industry. This stands in stark contrast to other sectors, like engineering, where precise blueprints and plans are fundamental to every project’s success. #SoftwareQuality #SoftwareTesting #QualityAssurance #QualityEngineering #Testing

Always good to hear from Neil Ward-Dutton on the subject of enterprise AI. Today at the Foundry Digital Enterprise Forum he talked about the opportunities and challenges around LLM tech and very wisely mentioned that there are other, more mature AI technologies that are providing enormous value. Our team at Jumar have been working on several game-changing projects using these tools this year and I suspect this experience will set us in very good stead for future engagements. If you want to know if, and how AI can provide genuine, long term value in your business we should have a conversation. #AI #intelligentautomation #jumar

When running a platform, it's vital that you keep users up to date on what you've been doing, even if it's all backend improvements. The perception of movement is just as important as the progression. Here's top tips on giving good updates. https://buff.ly/3R3TpoB

I’m a big believer in agile thinking. If your idea can’t move, it’s going to get overtaken in the market… and in people’s minds, too. At Orb, we’ve taken a developer platform approach to the world of billing. Where we can offer the flexibility to make ideas happen on the spot. Things can go from “I have this creative idea!” to “Let’s make it happen!” in the same breath, as opposed to waiting for months for the ship to turn around. A lack of agility can rob even the most lucrative companies of their competitive edge. The last thing I want to say, as a leader, is “Sorry, engineering and product leads! It’ll take 9 months for this wonderful thing to happen.” That’s how good ideas arrive dead on arrival. Excellent ideas don’t wait around.

This Thursdays Throwback revisits our article on What Mobile App Testing Can Do and Why It's Important - 42 Interactive https://bit.ly/3rKv3ms From the perspective of a digital agency specialising in custom-built software, design, build, and maintenance, mobile app testing is critical for ensuring that applications meet functionality, usability, consistency, and security objectives. Given the diverse specifications of mobile devices, thorough testing is essential to identify and resolve bugs pre-launch, guaranteeing an optimal user experience across all platforms. For agencies lacking the resources for in-depth testing, partnering with specialised firms can ensure high-quality outcomes, safeguarding the app's performance and the agency's reputation. #MobileAppTesting #SoftwareQuality #DigitalAgency #AppDevelopment #UserExperience #TechInnovation #QualityAssurance

Maybe the machines are going to take over. But until then they’re making lives easier and saving money for the public sector A couple of great examples today at #AWS summit: Swindon council are using AI to translate documents they create for their culturally diverse community with 99.96% cost saving  Bedfordshire police using it to redact docs for court. The equivalent saving of 6 officers back on the beat We see examples every day of how thinly stretched gov. departments are. I can’t help but think there are many opportunities available right now to do more to leverage AI services to lighten the load

We are currently working on how LLMs will be deployed and consumed at enterprise scale. I think it's inevitable that platform engineering type thinking will emerge in this space, with centralised teams providing LLMs to consuming development and product teams as customers in a controlled way optimised for reuse and consistency. If you look at AWS Bedrock as an example, concepts such as knowledge bases, agents and guardrails are broken out into seperate components which can be combined as buiding blocks. A bank, for instance, could for setup a single knowledge base about their mortgage products which could be used by multiple models and app teams. A library of Guardrails such as "Vulnerable customers" or "European AI Act" could be built up and reused to ensure that all LLM interactions are compliant. Cross cutting concerns such as observability and cost control could also occur centrally. Evaluation loops could be orchestrated centrally across all of the models and guardrails, ensuring that quality and compliance checks are applied for all of the consuming application development teams. When cloud was adopted, we initially had quite a highly federated approach. Before long and before going to production en masse, businesses did the whole centralised cloud platform team and then the platform engineering movement. I can certainly see LLMs go down a similar path.
