Causely Integrates OpenTelemetry for Clear Insights
Causely, the causal reasoning platform for modern engineering teams, launches a native integration with OpenTelemetry. OpenTelemetry has redefined observability by standardizing how telemetry data is collected and processed; however, the overwhelming volume of metrics, logs, and traces collected across an organization’s cloud and microservices architecture can overwhelm teams, slow down workflows, inflate costs, and make it difficult for engineers to pinpoint root causes.

How AI-Powered Healthcare Assistants Are Alleviating Physician Burnout
Physician burnout is more than a buzzword. It’s a big problem. It causes emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and less feeling of accomplishment. The causes are complex. They include a lot of EHR paperwork, red tape, and the stress of patient care. Nearly half of all doctors say they feel burnt out. Many are thinking about retiring early or changing jobs. The ripple effects are serious. They include compromised patient safety, higher turnover rates, and rising healthcare costs. The traditional response has been to encourage self-care or mindfulness. Yoga classes and wellness apps can’t fix the real issue. The system is broken. It overwhelms clinicians with paperwork and takes away their time with patients. AI comes in here, not to replace human skills but to help with repetitive tasks.
