Episode Description

Can AI predict a tunnel collapse before it happens?

As cities grow and become more crowded, we are increasingly building underground. But tunnelling beneath busy urban areas can be dangerous, with unstable ground, changing geological conditions and the risk of damage to buildings and infrastructure above. We explore how AI is bringing together geological and construction data to predict potential tunnel problems up to seven days in advance.

What if your paediatrician was just a WhatsApp message away?

At three in the morning, a child has a fever but how do parents know whether to wait, give medication or rush to hospital? We explore how DocoKids connects families with real paediatricians through WhatsApp, even in communities with limited internet access, while AI works behind the scenes to help doctors save time and improve access to healthcare.
