AI-Assisted Approach Helps Novice Users Identify Aortic Stenosis

Mayo Clinic researchers tested an approach that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help people without previous ultrasound experience capture heart images and identify patients who may have a common and serious heart valve condition. In a study published in JAMA Cardiology and presented at the 2026 ESC Congress, after four hours of training, novice users were able to

Check for Copycat Bias in Medical AI

The recent flood of Artificial Intelligence (AI) models and content has undoubtedly brought along an unwelcome bug from the human-made content it scrapes from: bias. AI has been noted to form, copy, and amplify harmful stereotypes of already marginalized groups. This phenomenon has far reaching effects as AI becomes a normal part of everyday life.

Migraine Research: AI Finds Patterns Throughout the Body

A new study from NTNU - the Norwegian University of Science and Technology - reveals that migraines may leave a biological pattern throughout the body, traces of which can be identified by artificial intelligence (AI).

“There are many inconsistencies with the diagnosis of migraines. It appears that AI could help us make the correct diagnosis,” says Anker Stubberud, a physician and headache researcher at NTNU.

A New AI Method to Support Real-Time Management of Infectious Diseases

For the past 25 years, one discipline has been revolutionizing epidemiology: phylodynamics. By using genetic sequences, scientists can study how pathogens evolve. Thanks to mathematics, these data can be coherently organized into phylogenetic trees, with each branch representing a chain of transmission and each leaf representing an individual’s infection.

Can Patients Trust ChatGPT for Urological Advice?

Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are widely used for public health information retrieval. Prior urological studies have mainly validated ChatGPT performance based on AUA and EAU guidelines, while evidence aligned with CUA guidelines remains scarce. This study by Wyatt MacNevin’s team from Dalhousie University evaluated the appropriateness and reliability of ChatGPT-4.0 responses to common patient-oriented urological questions using CUA guidelines as the benchmark.

Deep Learning Refines How Bionic Eyes Communicate with the Brain

Researchers from three institutions, including UC Santa Barbara, have demonstrated that artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to make future visual prostheses, like a bionic eye, more precise, predictable and responsive to an individual user.

UCSB associate professor of computer science Michael Beyeler and his colleagues used a deep-learning model to design patterns of electrical stimulation for electrodes temporarily implanted in the visual cortex

Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust avoids an Estimated 1,300 Hospital Admissions through Proactive Home Monitoring

Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT) has avoided an estimated 1,300 hospital admissions over the past 12 months by using proactive home monitoring to identify early signs of deterioration before some of its most vulnerable patients reach crisis point.

The results come as the NHS accelerates its shift towards neighbourhood health services, with the Government's recently published NHS 10 Year Health Plan placing prevention,
