Amala Medical College launches AI system for drug safety
The event marked the unveiling of 'SafeRx', an advanced AI system designed to support clinicians in making safer and informed decisions while prescribing medicines.
Dr. V.K. Pratheesh, academic coordinator at Amala, said SafeRx will serve as a real-time decision-support tool for doctors, ensuring medication safety, appropriate antibiotic use, and adherence to clinical protocols.
The AI system is capable of evaluating a patient's previous history, diagnosis, and comorbidities before providing prescription suggestions.

Apple To Invest Additional $100 Billion In US: White House Official
Apple will invest an additional $100 billion in the United States, taking its total pledge to $600 billion over the next four years, a senior White House official said Wednesday. The announcement, which was first reported by US media, will be officially made later Wednesday at 4:30 pm (2030 GMT) at a White House event with President Donald Trump. In February, Apple said it would spend more than $500 billion in the United States and hire 20,000 people, with Trump quickly taking credit for the decision. The Silicon Valley-based giant said it was its "largest-ever spend commitment," which came as tech companies battle for dominance in developing artificial intelligence technology. It builds on plans announced in 2021, when the company founded by Steve Jobs said that it would invest $430 billion in the US and add 20,000 jobs over the next five years. Trump, who has pushed US companies to shift manufacturing home by slapping tariffs on trading partners, claimed that his administration was to thank for the investment. Apple reported a quarterly profit of $23.4 billion in late July, topping forecasts despite facing higher costs due to Trump's sweeping levies. Tariffs are essentially a tax paid by companies importing goods to the United States. This means Apple is on the hook for tariffs on iPhones and other products or components it brings into the country from abroad.
