An AI algorithm for breast cancer screening has potential to enhance the performance of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), reducing interval cancers by up to one-third, according to a study published...
There may be a new artificial intelligence-driven tool to turbocharge scientific discovery: virtual labs.
Modeled after a well-established Stanford School of Medicine research group, the virtual lab is complete with an...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Proteins sustain life as we know it, serving many important structural and functional roles throughout the body. But these large molecules have cast a long shadow over a smaller subclass...
AI-based medicine will revolutionise care including for Alzheimer’s and diabetes, predicts a technology expert, but it must be accessible to all patients.
Healing with Artificial Intelligence, written by technology expert Daniele...
Stroke is the second leading cause of death globally. Ischemic stroke, strongly linked to atherosclerotic plaques, requires accurate plaque and vessel wall segmentation and quantification for definitive diagnosis. However, conventional...
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...
Walking is well known to have significant health benefits, but few people achieve the daily recommended steps. Fortunately, mobile health (mHealth) applications have emerged as promising tools to promote physical...
The healthcare industry is currently experiencing change at an unprecedented rate. Change is not only occurring in the technology used in diagnostics and care delivery, but this change is so fundamental that it could, and likely will, fundamentally alter the business model of the industry. In recent years, healthcare expenditures have risen consistently and sharply in all Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, outpacing the rate of inflation. In the United States, the country with the highest overall expenditures, spending reached about 17.7% of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2009 and has since stabilized. The U.S. healthcare expenditure is significantly higher than that of other OECD countries. For example in the UK., where healthcare expenditures peaked in 2009 at 9.9% of GDP, they fell to 9.4% in 2011. Nevertheless, in all industrialized countries, healthcare costs have been steadily rising since the middle of the 20th century.
