Stanford University used an algorithm to decide who would get the first 5000 doses of the coronavirus vaccine and it did not go well, prioritizing senior faculty instead of front-line, low-paid healthcare workers.
Artificial intelligence and machine-learning algorithms are increasingly being used across the healthcare system, including in psychiatry.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ A Silicon Valley father of three and award winning product developer has spent the past two years creating the world s best face mask for kids. Kevin Ngo, founder of Air Flo Labs, is now shipping his patent pending solution, Flo Mask.
Flo Mask filters have been Nelson Labs tested to block over 99.8% of viruses and are designed to fit kids 4-12 years old. The idea for Flo Mask came about during the Northern California Camp Fire wildfire in 2018. My kids were coming home from school feeling sick from the toxic smoke that blanketed the Bay Area. It was then that I learned N95 grade masks for kids didn t exist, says the inventor dad. I was in disbelief that in an age of quantum computing, we still didn t have masks that could truly protect kids. Then COVID-19 hit and I knew the world needed Flo Mask more than ever.
