Academic medical centers could transform patient care by adopting principles from learning health systems principles, according to researchers from Weill Cornell Medicine and the University of California, San Diego. In...
A virtual medical receptionist named "Cassie," developed through research at Texas A&M University, is transforming the way patients interact with health care providers.
Cassie is a digital-human assistant created by Humanate...
A multinational team of researchers, co-led by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, has developed and tested a new AI tool to better characterise the diversity of individual cells within...
Go-lives at Western and Southern health and social care trusts mean every pathology service is using the same laboratory information management system; improving efficiency and quality.
An ambitious technology project to...
Opinion Article by Dr Paul Deffley, Chief Medical Officer, Alcidion.
A single patient record already exists in the NHS. Or at least, that’s a perception shared by many. A survey of...
A new study by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and collaborators, suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) could significantly improve how...
The new study exposes the dangerous flaws in using artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots for mental health support. For the first time, the researchers evaluated these AI systems against clinical standards...
UCLA researchers have developed an AI system that turns fragmented electronic health records (EHR) normally in tables into readable narratives, allowing artificial intelligence to make sense of complex patient histories...
Investigators have developed an artificial intelligence-assisted diagnostic system that can estimate bone mineral density in both the lumbar spine and the femur of the upper leg, based on X-ray images...
Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that helps clinicians identify brain activity patterns linked to nine types of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, using a single...
Rett syndrome is a devastating rare genetic childhood disorder primarily affecting girls. Merely 1 out of 10,000 girls are born with it and much fewer boys. It is caused by...
Pathologists' examinations of tissue samples from skin cancer tumours improved when they were assisted by an AI tool. The assessments became more consistent and patients' prognoses were described more accurately...
This is the fourth full edition of the Swiss Medical Technology Industry (SMTI) Report first initiated in 2006. This issue is based on growing industry participation - over 340 firms contributed their insight and facts to this report. Over the years we observed a fundamental shift in business behavior within the industry from soaring double digit growth to single digit growth in today's consolidating world. The stagnation, however, has ceased and firms are using the momentum to recuperate and initiate the next leap forward in their growth ambitions beyond bundled offerings. Thus, we foresee a new medtech era rising which embraces holistic integration. Holistic integration refers to the ability of a company to capture a whole area of healthcare, such as a disease, and owning all aspects of care from supplies to services to hospital suits.
