Artificial intelligence plays a significant role in healthcare and there is almost no area of medical care where AI cannot be used. The recent trend in Technology shows that AI can be used widely ranging from diagnosing a disease like cancer and up to its treatment using radiotherapy. AI helps the human kind by its accurate application. Also AI is used in Eye Care, Pregnancy test, Ultrasound Scanning, CT Scanning, ECG, Cardiology, MRI and Plastic Surgery and indeed very helpful for patients undergoing treatments. The accurate information given by AI assists in making definite decisions by the doctors on the treatment which certainly saves time and lower costs. In short AI is a game changer in the field of healthcare, improving the quality of treatment, thus ensuring that patients get well soon and return to their normal routine very quickly.

Ron Kilgarlin strongly believes that AI can completely redefine patient care management, drug discovery and healthcare administration. AI-driven robots can provide round the clock monitoring, treatment plans and enhancing patient support. In drug discovery, AI enhances the drug development process by analysing how different drugs will function and react in the body, thereby decreasing the time and cost of treatment.

Ron Kilgarlin is of deep conviction that that in a very short time AI would be dominating healthcare industry both in diagnosis and treatment which would surely be highly beneficial to the people. This adoption of Artificial Intelligence will certainly improve the scenario of medical diagnosis in recent future and treatment in hospitals and clinics.

Most of the time people call for alphabet reform, it is for All The Wrong Reasons – a crusade against "weird letters". Why does c have more than one pronunciation? Why are q and x a Thing? Unfortunately, in a quest to make things "right", reforms tend to be English-centric, incompatible, and a bit less beautiful.

But fuck beauty! May I present to you a very cursed script –��a 1:1 mapping of Latin – designed for unambiguous symbols and theft. It is (hopefully) presentable using Tumblr's fonts, and preserves pronunciation meaning from scripts, but otherwise despite my best start at making it look pretty, quickly devolves into a melting pot of letters.

This is what happens when you give me coffee and Wikipedia after a few weeks without, so brace yourself for some dubious decisions!

∀ b c d e f g h i j k ʟ m n o p q ꝛ s̊ t u v w x y z

We start with a combination of uppercase and lowercase. We've promoted L to keep it from confusion with a watchful I, and also made the upside-down animal-with-horns A right again. It's a cute origin story for a letter! Also some easy Latin wins: we're adding s̊ where the circle above means "unvoiced consonant", and ꝛ, the scifi classical rotunda form of r.

∀ б c 𐌳 e f g η и j k ʟ m n o б̊ q ꝛ s̊ 𐌳̊ u v w x y z

Let's pare down the p-b-d-q nightmare. Four must enter, but only one can leave (q, obviously). We'll kill two letters with one stone: that's right, we've put some Cyrillic up in this б. Roughly speaking, this script is a syncretism of Greek and the Glagolitic script invented to help transcribe Slavic languages (for religion, of course). If you ever saw funky Slavic text like "ⰳⰾⰰⰳⱁⰾⱏ", that's Glagolitic, babyyy.

Because we no longer have capitals, we're at leisure to borrow the Ukrainian pronunciation for и. This letter originally comes from Greek η, Eta; we'll be evil and also steal this for h, its Latin descendant. In addition, we have Gothic 𐌳, which looks familiar due to its Uncial origins. I just think it looks very polite, y'know?

∀ б c 𐌳 e 𐤱 g η и j k ʟ m n o б̊ q ꝛ s̊ 𐌳̊ u 𐔟 ꦮ x 𞤴 z

Next, the fvwy four. These letters all share a common origin, so let's scatter that to the winds. Crossing over history, we've used eight 𐤱 from the Lydian alphabet and three 𞤴 from the newly-invented Adlam alphabet (ADLM being short for 'the alphabet that protects the peoples from vanishing').

Finally, we have the lovely ꦮ from popular Javanese, and 𐔟 from obscure Elbasan, a script which was spookily only ever used to anonymously write a single document. (Alternatively, you can just use 𐔟̊ and pretend it is the older and "better" form of 𐤱, keeping the whole "circle for nonvoicedness" theme. But beware: that makes you an Eight Hater.)

∀ б c 𐌳 e 𐔟̊ g η и j k ʟ 𑣖 Ն o б̊ q ꝛ s̊ 𐌳̊ Ꭴ 𐔟 ꦮ x 𞤴 z

Eagle-eyed viewers will note the c-m-n-u set of similar letters. Let's disambiguate! 𑣖 comes from the Warang Citi writing system used by about a million speakers in India. Now entering the Hook Dimension, Ն comes in from the Armenian alphabet, and Ꭴ from Cherokee. Shout out to my boy Sequoyah for inventing an whole syllabary despite being illiterate – it was so popular that shortly after his death the literacy rate of Cherokee people surpassed that of settlers to America!!

∀ б c 𐌳 e 𐔟̊ g η и j k ʟ 𑣖 Ն o б̊ q ꝛ s̊ 𐌳̊ Ꭴ 𐔟 ꦮ x 𞤴 z

So there you have it: a script which, while I tried to avoid angular letters, still looks a bit ugly. It's a bit reminiscent of faux Cyrillic or Greek, albeit at least here preserved some semblance of meaning. I'm not sure the whole result has any meaning, but it sure inflicts psychic damage whenever I look at it, so that's something.

The only survivors are the real freaks of nature, the real trendsetters you have to love. Shout out to Z, who was killed off in Latin in 300 BCE by some guy who thought it reminded him of corpses (later resurrected at the end of the list), G, which is genuinely just a C some other Roman guy added a line to, and O, because it's so unsuspecting I forgot about it.

Anyway, here's a random song:

𐌳̊o𐌳∀𞤴 иs̊ goՆՆ∀ бe 𐌳̊ηe 𐌳∀𞤴 𐌳̊η∀𐌳̊ 𐌳̊ηe𞤴'ꝛe goՆՆ∀ 𐌳̊ηꝛoꦮ и𐌳̊ б∀ck 𐌳̊o 𞤴oᎤ б𞤴 Նoꦮ 𞤴oᎤ s̊ηoᎤʟ𐌳'𐔟e s̊o𑣖eηoꦮ ꝛe∀ʟиze𐌳 ꦮη∀𐌳̊ 𞤴oᎤ go𐌳̊𐌳̊∀ 𐌳o и 𐌳oՆ'𐌳̊ бeʟиe𐔟e 𐌳̊η∀𐌳̊ ∀Ն𞤴бo𐌳𞤴 𐔟̊eeʟs̊ 𐌳̊ηe ꦮ∀𞤴 и 𐌳o ∀бoᎤ𐌳̊ 𞤴oᎤ Նoꦮ

you can't be remotely interested in linguistics and typography without occasionally wanting to redesign the fucking alphabet.

it's a mess. ignoring how bad it is from a non-phonetic standpoint, it's just badly designed shapes.

Here's some basic things that an alphabet/writing system should hopefully have:

no letters that are mirrors of each other, horizontally or vertically, or rotationally

no letters that can easily be mistaken for each other after very minor damage

only a single set of glyphs for given characters. two? why? fuck me, FOUR!? FIVE FOR AT LEAST ONE? (upper/lower print, upper/lowercase cursive, the nightmare that is the lowercase "a" and how it can be drawn in two different ways)

if we're not gonna drop the concept of case all together (and I'm not saying we shouldn't!) it should be easy to convert one case to another. how about, like, underlining? so "A/a" turns into either "A/A̲" or "a/a̲"

They're clearly distinctive glyphs and you don't have to memorize a second set of 26 shapes. And cursive can obviously fuck off. I'm personally gonna say we should go for uppercase + underline, just so we don't have to deal with the two-lowercase-a-glyphs nightmare, and the quadruple-disaster that is p/q/b/d. It's like some kind of damn logic puzzle in this alphabet! why not have four glyphs that are mirrors of each other on vertical and horizontal axises?

I don't like this alphabet. we should fix it.
