Melt in Your Mouth Dessert & Eatery 268 Moo 21 Kho Loi, Robvieng, Chiang Rai 57000, Thailand 8:30 a.m.-8:30 p.m. T: 052 020 549 1 2 NORTHERN TWIST Chiang Rai is no longer a remote countryside province, but a very charming city in terms of its culture, arts, natural beauty as well as culinary scene. Sitting gracefully by the river is a huge barn house, embraced by an enchanting English garden with outdoor seating on the lovely veranda. This place is Melt in Your Mouth Dessert & Eatery. One feels at ease upon entering it, with the attractive celling-to-floor walls that are decorated in a stylish barn-style. The restaurant itself has several indoor seating zones to choose from, including the secluded dining area on the mezzanine floor that the twirling staircase leads to. After checking out all its seating zones, we set our minds on the set of white rattan chairs in front of the cake display (the obvious reason!). I soon felt myself unwinding. Before we got carried away with the tempting array of cakes on display, we browsed the menu for its choice of dishes and refreshing drinks. The menu is a perfect meeting of East and West. Wild Rocket Salad Served with Watermelon and Feta Cheese (THB 185) was our choice of appetizer, along with the Melt Spicy Dips Cuisine Set (THB 330), an impressive plate of Northern-style spicy pork “Bolognese” and Northern-style / ISSUE_21 21 4 67 3 5 green chili dip served with crispy pork rind, fresh vegetables, boiled egg and sticky rice. We then opted for the fusion Northern-Style Pork Curry Pizza (THB 295). Our server recommended the Grandma’s Grilled Pork (THB 320), which eventually became the star dish of the meal for me. Portions are generous, however we had no problem finishing everything on our plates since it was all scrumptious - and we could also tell that everything was cooked using very fresh ingredients. Finally, it was time for my personal favourite part of the meal - dessert! - and we ordered Strawberry Cheesecake (THB 105) and Banoffee (THB 125) to wrap up the highly satisfying meal. They did not let my sweet tooth down. After our meal we took a stroll along the riverbank within the grounds of the eatery, and took advantage of the many scenic spots to take photographs - including a few selfies and wefies, of course… / ISSUE_21 22 YOUR HEALTHY SENSE Compilation of new eateries This new Belgian bistro serves Moules Frites, Cote de Boeuf and Belgian Waffles in a cosy ambience on the rooftop of Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit.

What they have in common, and what we might not have noticed, is they are the products of artificial intelligence (AI) technology! Whether we are aware of it or not, AI technology has already impacted our life in a significant manner. YOUR HEALTHY BRAIN In the know AI/ ISSUE_21 25 • Digitised medical record • Gathering patient data • Processing the tests • Analysing test results • Diagnosing based on available data • Determining an appropriate treatment • Preparing and administrating treatment • Patient monitoring • Scheduling appointment online AI also saves time in drug development, decreases the huge amount of investment required for new drug discovery, determines and designs personalised treatments, and can even edit genes. AI is a computer technology that performs tasks which usually requires human intelligence. A machine with AI capability can be trained and programmed to mimic human cognitive functions such as learning and problem-solving. There are three classifications of AI: artificial superintelligence (ASI), artificial general intelligence (AGI) and artificial narrow intelligence (ANI). ASI, as the highest classification, refers to a time in the future when computer technology will surpass human intelligence. AGI is the moderate classification and equivalent to human intelligence; it is also commonly referred to as ‘strong AI’ and has the ability to apply intelligence to any problem. The lowest classification ANI or ‘weak AI’ is what most AI systems operate at nowadays, and has the capability to focus on only one task at a time, unlike a human. AI is used in almost all industries including agriculture, education, finance, legal, manufacturing, media and medicine. An incredible amount of AI already plays an important role in medicine, where the popularity of AI technology has risen as it can reduce manual tasks and free up the time of health care professionals thus improving efficiency, increasing productivity and offering more precision medical treatment for each patient. The numerous ways that AI benefits the medicinal and health care sector includes:/ ISSUE_21 26 YOUR HEALTHY BRAIN In the know Babylon an online application in the UK where patients can book appointments and routine tests, consult a doctor online, check for symptoms, get advice, monitor their health and order test kits. Among the several areas of medicine, AI is applied to use in radiology more than others. AI helps a radiologist to identify that which the human eye cannot detect, leading to earlier diagnosis, lower medical bills and a stronger chance of survival. It was found that publications on AI have increased considerably - from 100 to 150% in 2007-2008 and up to 700-800 per year in 2016-2017 - while magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography together account for more than 50% of recent articles. Dr. Poon Wai-lun, a Council Member of Hong Kong College of Radiologists, revealed to the Tech News in November 2018 that there were misdiagnoses of X-rays of three people with lung cancer in different hospitals in China last year. He said that with the help of AI technology, this type of incidence would decrease because AI can detect even the smallest suspicious abnormalities shown on X-rays, read vast amounts of data in a short period of time and thereby therefore alert the physician when something wrong shows on the patient's test result or data. AI technology helps solve issues related to limited manpower shortage and high staff turnover rates. Last but not least, AI is certainly advantageous, accurate and growing in acceptance, but it will not fully replace humans because healthcare still needs human skills such as communication of diagnosis, medical judgment, quality assurance, education, policy-making, interventional procedure and interpersonal relationship. Examples of AI already being used in medicine today: DXplain a decision support system that comes up with possible diagnoses when given a set of symptoms. Germwatcher a laboratory information system which is designed to detect, track and investigate infections in hospitalised patients. The da Vinci robotic surgical system a robotic surgical arm that has precise movements and magnetised vision for more precision surgery.
