Sky News host Alan Jones talks with Brisbane doctor Elliot Smith who has invented an app to help men track their PSA levels and detect prostate cancer.
The name of the app is Maxwell Plus. “Maxwell Plus, funnily enough, is named after a physicist James Maxwell, a lot of the work that I did in my PhD, designing medical imaging equipment, revolved around Maxwell’s equations and made MRI scans possible,” Dr Smith told Mr Jones.
“We have a service that connects men to doctors, and those doctors are using this artificial intelligence. “In very simple terms, algorithms and processes that we’ve trained the computer to undertake, to look through data, trends in blood test data, medical image data, to help pull out signs that might be indicative and help those clinicians make quick, accurate and reliable decisions.” Details are at maxwellplus.com.

Australia must 'normalise' relations with China without 'trading away' core values | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator Andrew Bragg says it is 'very troubling' to hear Australia no longer has any correspondents in China following the rushed removal of two Australian journalists over fears for their safety.\n\nJournalists Bill Birtles and Michael Smith landed in Sydney yesterday after being evacuated from China by the Department of Foreign Affairs after Chinese authorities demanded they present themselves for questioning in relation to Cheng Lei, an Australian journalist who was detained in Beijing last month. \n\nMr Bragg told Sky News it was a “regrettable” situation but he looked forward “to the normalisation of relations over the medium term”. \n\n“I don’t think it’s a very good look to have effectively expelled Australian journalists,” he said. \n\n“Not only does it deprive us of real media, real intelligence on what’s happening on the ground but it also is a bit of a vote of no confidence in our day-to-day engagement.”\n\nWhen asked whether it would be a good move for Australia to begin expelling Chinese diplomats from the country, Mr Bragg said they would be hard-pressed to find the government “stooping to use those sorts of tactics”. \n\n“We don’t engage in censorship in this country,” he said. \n\n“The reality is, China is an important country to Australia, it will be important to our future and we need to focus on normalising relations over the medium term without trading away any of the values that we hold dear.” \n\nImage: Getty

Communist China 'putting Australia in a new category' amid deteriorating relations | Sky News AustraliaThe Communist Party of China may have decided to 'take Australia out of one category of countries that it deals with' as the bilateral relationship between the two nations continues to deteriorate says Melbourne University Professor Michael Wesley. \n\nAustralia no longer has any correspondents in China following the rushed removal of two Australian journalists over fears for their safety.\n\nProfessor Wesley said if the strategic partnership isn't dead between the two nations, 'it's certainly on life support'. \n\n'It's hard to tell at this stage whether this is another step in a slow tightening of the pressure on Australia by Beijing,' Professor Wesley said. \n\n'Or whether China has simply decided to take Australia out of one category of countries that it deals with, which up until five or six years ago was seen to be a relatively friendly country to China, and simply put it in another category. \n\n'That is a country that China will deal with on a pragmatic basis but with no pretense of any closeness and no favours done on either side.' \n\n'It's certainly starting to look like the latter of those to me,' he said. \n\n'It is very hard to see how the bilateral relationship is going to return to a level of, let's say pre-2012 where there were close and cordial relations between the Australian and Chinese governments'. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia

Australia doesn't know 'China's new rules nor what it'll do next' | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian’s Editor-at-Large Paul Kelly says the fact Australia doesn’t know what China will do next is debilitating and alarming. \n\nThe decision to rush out the last two Australian accredited journalists in China in recent days has raised serious questions about the way Australia manages relationship with its most significant trade partner, but also, 'its most significant regional security threat,' said Sky News host Peta Credlin.\n\n“I think we’re in a downward spiral in terms of the bilateral relationship (with China),” Mr Kelly said.\n\n“The really alarming aspect of all of this is that we don’t know what the new rules are.”\n\nMr Kelly said the fundamental question was: “how safe are Australians in China?”\n\n“If you look at the size of the business relationship, if you look at the scope of the people to people relationship, this is a really, really disturbing event,” he said. \n\n“The alarming thing about it is that people don’t know what China might do next.\n\n“That’s really debilitating.”\n\nImage: AP

The media’s ‘full court fake news press’ against President Trump is astonishing | Sky News AustraliaJournalists are yet again jumping on the bandwagon to portray US President Donald Trump as a liar and run the latest set of shameless and dishonest attacks against him says Sky News host Chris Kenny. \n\nMr Kenny said the fake news, the same “full court fake news press” put out by the media against President Trump is astonishing. \n\n“The latest scandal, the latest beat up that all the media ran with, including in this country, is the mind-numbingly obvious observation that Donald Trump was not alarmist about coronavirus”. \n\nIt comes as the White House has rejected claims the President intentionally misled Americans about the severity of the coronavirus.\n\nThe new set of allegations laid against President Donald Trump are set to be revealed by American journalist Bob Woodward, who previously broke the Watergate scandal.\n\nMr Woodward will reportedly unveil information showing Mr Trump sought to “play down” the virus to avoid causing panic and will release a taped phone call with the President who claimed at the time the coronavirus was deadlier than the flu.\n\n“We all know Trump talked the pandemic down,” Mr Kenny said. \n\n“Even though Trump blocked flights from China early and cranked up the supply of ventilators to the states, he kept telling people not to panic, that the US would beat the virus”. \n\nMr Kenny said the media and journalists who attack President Trump are “are so transparent, they like to portray Trump as a liar yet can't cover anything he says or does, straight up”. \n\n“And they wonder why voters mistrust the whole media, Democrats, political establishment schtick”. \n\nImage: AP \n
