How AI could Speed the Development of RNA Vaccines and other RNA Therapies

Details
Category: Research
21 August 2025
Using artificial intelligence (AI), MIT researchers have come up with a new way to design nanoparticles that can more efficiently deliver RNA vaccines and other types of RNA therapies.

After training a machine-learning model to analyze thousands of existing delivery particles, the researchers used it to predict new materials that would work even better.

MIT Researchers Use Generative AI to Design Compounds that can Kill Drug-Resistant Bacteria

Details
Category: Research
20 August 2025
With help from artificial intelligence, MIT researchers have designed novel antibiotics that can combat two hard-to-treat infections: drug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae and multi-drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Using generative AI algorithms, the research team designed more than 36 million possible compounds and computationally screened them for antimicrobial properties.

19 August 2025
Doctors treating kidney disease have long depended on trial-and-error to find the best therapies for individual patients. Now, new artificial intelligence (AI) tools developed by researchers in the Perelman School of Medicine and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania can analyze kidney disease at the cellular level to match the most effective treatments and speed up solutions.

Routine AI Assistance may Lead to Loss of Skills in Health Professionals Who Perform Colonoscopies

Details
Category: Research
18 August 2025
The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) to assist colonoscopies is linked to a reduction in the ability of endoscopists (health professionals who perform colonoscopies) to detect precancerous growths (adenomas) in the colon without AI assistance, according to a paper published in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology journal.

AI also Assesses Dutch Mammograms Better than Radiologists

Details
Category: Research
15 August 2025
AI is detecting tumors more often and earlier in the Dutch breast cancer screening program. Those tumors can then be treated at an earlier stage. This has been demonstrated by researchers led by Radboud university medical center in a study published in The Lancet Digital Health. The use of AI could reduce workload and save millions of euros annually.

RSNA AI Challenge Models can Independently Interpret Mammograms

Details
Category: Research
14 August 2025
Algorithms submitted for an AI Challenge hosted by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) have shown excellent performance for detecting breast cancers on mammography images, increasing screening sensitivity while maintaining low recall rates, according to a study published today in Radiology, the premier journal of the RSNA.

The RSNA Screening Mammography Breast Cancer Detection AI Challenge was a crowdsourced competition that took place in 2023, with more than 1,500 teams participating.

Head-to-Head Against AI, Pharmacy Students Won

Details
Category: Research
13 August 2025
Students pursuing a Doctor of Pharmacy degree routinely take - and pass - rigorous exams to prove competency in several areas. Can ChatGPT accurately answer the same questions? A new study by University of Arizona R. Ken Coit College of Pharmacy researchers said no, it can’t.

Researchers found that ChatGPT 3.5, a form of artificial intelligence, fared worse than PharmD students in answering questions on therapeutics examinations that ensure students have the knowledge, skills, and critical thinking abilities to provide safe, effective and patient-centered care.

AI could Help Emergency Rooms Predict Admissions

Details
Category: Research
12 August 2025
Artificial intelligence (AI) can help emergency department (ED) teams better anticipate which patients will need hospital admission, hours earlier than is currently possible, according to a multi-hospital study by the Mount Sinai Health System.

By giving clinicians advance notice, this approach may enhance patient care and the patient experience, reduce overcrowding and "boarding" (when a patient is admitted but remains in the ED because no bed is available), and enable hospitals to direct resources where they’re needed most.

NHS Active 10 Walking Tracker Users are More Active After Using the App

Details

11 August 2025
Users of the NHS Active 10 app, designed to encourage people to become more active, immediately increased their amount of brisk and non-brisk walking upon using the app, according to researchers from the University of Cambridge.

In a study published in npj Digital Medicine, the researchers found that while activity levels then slowly declined over time, even after 30 months those users who were still using the app were more active than they had been beforehand.

Brain Imaging may Identify Patients Likely to Benefit from Anxiety Care App

Details
Category: Research
08 August 2025
By understanding differences in how people’s brains are wired, clinicians may be able to predict who would benefit from a self-guided anxiety care app, according to a new analysis from a clinical trial led by Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian investigators. The preliminary study suggested that young people with weaker connections between two brain areas involved in both attending to and regulating responses to anxiety were more likely to benefit from a self-guided anxiety care app than those with stronger connections.
