Babylon Health (2013 - 2023) 🪦
- Fraudulent claims
- Dangerously flawed technology
- Regulatory failings
- & @MattHancock

The Story of a Morally Bankrupt Unicorn & a Billion Dollar AI Fraud 👇

1/25 🧵 If you believed Ali Parsa (& @MattHancock), Babylon Health was a world leading UK based HealthTech corporation that had developed cutting edge AI technology to change the face of healthcare; making it accessible & affordable for every person on earth.

𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗: Can @BabylonHealth Be Trusted?

‘Bad Bot' (part 3): The final chapter in the @BadBotThreads...

1/37
Just to be clear, I don’t ‘hate’ @babylonhealth (hate is emotive & suggests a lack of objectivity). However I do not trust Babylon - & in my opinion - Babylon has not demonstrated the ethical or moral values expected of an #AI #HealthTech corporation.

This is utterly absurd!

The dangerously flawed unvalidated @babylonhealth Chatbot, continues to put WOMEN at risk of #DeathByChatbot #GenderBias.

A 60yr old 20/day Smoker with Sudden Onset Central Chest Pain & Nausea...

FEMALE = #PanicAttack.

MALE = #HeartAttack. ImageImage Here is the♀️#GenderBias triage.

A 60yr old FEMALE smoker develops Sudden Onset Central Chest Pain & Nausea.

She uses the @babylonhealth Chatbot, which suggests it's a #PanicAttack or #Depression - which can be managed at home.

A 66yr old lady from Suffolk, has recently noticed a firm breast lump & is worried it might be cancer.

She's heard her local MP @MattHancock, singing the praises of @babylonhealth, so turns to their #eHealth Chatbot for advice.

This #BreastLump triage is utterly absurd👇 It's worth highlighting some of issues with this #BreastLump triage, as it flags 'fundamental flaws' within the Babylon system.

Our 66yr old lady is "worried about a breast lump".

The first triage question is "Are you pregnant" 🤔
It also asks about breastfeeding twice 😕

is not a 'nerd'; he's a pretty typical NHS consultant with an interest in #PatientSafety.

On 6th Jan 2017 a tweet about an #eHealth #AI #Chatbot in #NHS trials caught his attention, so he thought he'd take a look. 1/44
