![]() ![]() Like the man said, Bleep feels like an attempt by Intel to twist the giant racism dial until it gets its levels just right.Īccording to Intel, “Toxic language is a pain point for many gamers….content moderation usually focus on the platform or streamer, but few tools are given to the end user,” it told Motherboard in an email. ![]() ![]() It is also a way of admitting defeat: if we can't stop players from being incredibly racist in chat, we can simply filter out what they say and pretend they don't exist.Įvery time I’ve confronted hate speech in an online space I hear some variation of “if you don’t like it leave” or “then mute me.” At the same time, Bleep is techno-AI solutionism that feels pretty dystopian, pitching racism, xenophobia, and general toxicity as settings that can be tuned up and down as though they were graphics, sound, or control sliders on a video game. The list included ableism and body shaming, LGBTQ+ hate, aggression, misogyny, name-calling, racism and xenophobia, sexually explicit language, swearing, and white nationalism.Īs Chandler explained, Intel can't "solve" racism or the long-running and well-documented problems in gaming culture (and culture more broadly). In footage of the application, Bleep presented users with a list of sliders so gamers can control the amount of hate and abuse they encounter. Sarah and the I3 team have done a great job in bringing this vision to reality and on behalf of the Trust, I’d like to thank them all for their hard work and dedication.According to Intel Marketing Engineer Craig Raymond, Bleep is “an end-user application that uses AI to detect and redact audio based on your user preferences.” Technology is such a huge part of all of our lives and brings with it many benefits - not just in terms of making tasks easier for colleagues but also helping us to offer a better service and experience to our patients. It will be a huge improvement for colleagues and will result in greater safety and quality of care for our patients.”Īaron Cummins, Chief Executive, UHMBT, said: “We are very excited to be introducing this innovative technology. For the small number of Trusts which already use smartphones instead of pagers, their technology does not include eHandover, contemporary lists of inpatients and eObs, the electronic record of a patients temperature, blood pressure, pulse etc which gives a clinical indicator of their immediate health. Ms Hart added: “Other organisations are developing similar apps but are not as far along the road as we are. If a patient is being treated in one department and suddenly needs to see a consultant from a different speciality, the app can be used to send a referral to a senior clinician, thus avoiding delays in treatment.”Īlerts on the phones will let colleagues know that there is a new Task or Referral so they will be potentially looking at their phones much more frequently. Therefore, teams will ensure that patients and visitors understand that if they see colleagues with an iPhone in a clinical area, they will be using them to support patient care, not for personal use. It is also a useful team management tool. Ms Hart said: “I like technology that makes our lives safer, slicker and easier. The software will also clinicians to create and action patient tasks, enabling an auditable workload rather than using various methods for note taking.Īround two years ago the Government decided that all NHS establishments needed to replace its outdated technology, but until recently there hadn’t been a reliable way to move away from Bleeps and Pagers. Ms Sarah Hart, Clinical Lead for I3 and Urology Speciality Doctor at UHMBT, has developed the ‘Bye Bye Bleep’ campaign with the Trust’s I3 (Information, Informatics and Innovation) Team and clinicians from many different specialities to improve quality of care and patient safety throughout the organisation. The new smartphone-based system will go live on Tuesday and will bring with it a new communications system which will improve transparency and patient care across the Trust. University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust (UHMBT) is one of the first NHS Trust’s to say ‘Bye Bye Bleep’ as is it replaces the traditional pager ‘bleep’ system with pioneering new smartphone technology for the majority its clinical staff. ![]()
