2) Drug development
3) Diagnosis and clinical care
4) Public Health Surveillance
Which of the above statements is/are correct?CorrectAbout Large Multi-Modal Models (LMMs)
• Large multi-modal models refer to advanced artificial intelligence models that are capable of processing and understanding multiple types of data modalities, such as text, images, audio, and possibly others.
• LMMs are known for their ability to mimic human communication and perform tasks without explicit programming.
• Platforms like ChatGPT, Bard and Bert have become household names since their introduction only last year.
• Five Broad Applications of LMMs in Healthcare:
o Diagnosis and clinical care, such as responding to patients’ written queries;
o patient-guided use for investigating symptoms and treatments;
o clerical and administrative tasks in electronic health records;
o medical and nursing education with simulated patient encounters;
o and scientific research and drug development.IncorrectAbout Large Multi-Modal Models (LMMs)

5. Question
With reference to the advantages of ‘E Ink display screen technology’, which among the following is incorrect?
CorrectAbout E Ink displays:
• E Ink displays are a special type of screen technology often used in e-readers like the Amazon Kindle.
• The technology was originally developed in the 1990s at MIT and is now owned by E Ink Corporation.
Technology Used
• The screens work using tiny microcapsules filled with positively charged white particles and negatively charged black ones suspended in fluid inside the display.
• By applying positive or negative electrical charges to different areas of the screen, the white or black particles can be made to rise to the surface, creating the text and images on the display.
Significance
• Unlike LCD and LED displays that use a backlight, E Ink displays reflect light – just like paper.
o This makes them easier on the eyes for long reading sessions.
• They also require very little power since they don’t need a backlight and only use energy when the image changes.
• The lack of backlighting also means that they are easier to read under brighter lighting conditions, which isn’t the case with LCD/LED displays at all – legibility actually takes a hit under bright sunlight.IncorrectAbout E Ink displays:
