How Can AI Improve Lung Cancer Detection Directly in GP Clinics?
Artificial intelligence (AI) could significantly aid earlier detection of lung cancer, directly within general practitioners' (GP) offices. Researchers from Amsterdam UMC have developed an algorithm that can identify the risk of lung cancer based on standard primary care documentation up to four months earlier than current methods. A study published in the British Journal of General Practice shows that AI can streamline early diagnosis without the need for complex screening.
New Technology Accelerates and Improves the Accuracy of Coronary Stent Healing Analysis
Artificial intelligence (AI) is helping doctors assess how coronary stents heal after implantation more quickly and accurately. The new algorithm, DeepNeo, enables automated interpretation of optical coherence tomography (OCT) images with accuracy comparable to that of a human expert. This technology saves time, enhances standardization, and paves the way for personalized care in cardiology.
What Are the New Possibilities for Using CAR-T Cell Therapies
There has been a major breakthrough in cancer treatment recently. A new type of gene therapy, known as CAR-T cell therapy, has been introduced into clinical practice. The first of these therapies were approved in 2017 for the treatment of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma. Since then, a number of new CAR-T therapies have been introduced to the global market, all targeting hematological malignancies. However, current research shows that the…
How Are Smart Wearable Devices Shaping the Future of Medicine?
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into wearable medical devices and their incorporation into the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) infrastructure is transforming healthcare. Current research suggests that AI-powered smart devices enable more accurate diagnostics, faster responses to acute conditions, reduced healthcare system burden, and improved treatment outcomes for patients with chronic diseases.
What Most Often Leads to Voluntary Assisted Dying?
The main cause of voluntary medically assisted dying was the focus of a large international study. An increasing number of countries are legalizing this act. Most recently, in May of this year, France joined their ranks. The research showed that two diseases in particular are the main drivers behind this choice. Which ones?
Brain scans of patients with multiple sclerosis will be evaluated by AI
MindGlide, a new artificial intelligence tool, could help doctors evaluate the treatment outcomes of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). It was developed by experts at University College London, who presented its capabilities in the journal Nature Communications.
What Do We Already Know About Sibling Relationships? And What Still Needs to Be Explored?
Family relationships and ties are studied by experts across disciplines. Yet, there is one aspect that seems to have slipped under the researchers’ radar. Close sibling bonds and their impact on individual functioning not only in childhood but also in adulthood remain underestimated and overlooked.
Does AI Evaluate Patients' Health More Accurately Than Doctors?
Virtual healthcare is slowly becoming part of standard practice. Whether artificial intelligence (AI) can diagnose and recommend treatment as well—or even better—than physicians has been explored in a new study led by Professor Dan Zeltzer, a digital health expert from the Berglas School of Economics at Tel Aviv University.
