AI can Accelerate Search for More Effective Alzheimer's Medicines by Streamlining Clinical Trials

Scientists have used an AI model to reassess the results of a completed clinical trial for an Alzheimer’s disease drug. They found the drug slowed cognitive decline by 46% in a group of patients with early stage, slow-progressing mild cognitive impairment - a condition that can progress to Alzheimer’s.

Using AI allowed the team to split trial participants into two groups: either slowly or rapidly progressing towards Alzheimer’s disease.

AI Tool Accurately Detects Tumor Location on Breast MRI

An AI model trained to detect abnormalities on breast MR images accurately depicted tumor locations and outperformed benchmark models when tested in three different groups, according to a study published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

"AI-assisted MRI could potentially detect cancers that humans wouldn’t find otherwise," said the study's lead investigator Felipe Oviedo, Ph.D., a senior research analyst at Microsoft's AI for Good Lab.

NHS National Rehabilitation Centre to Deploy Intelligent Bedside Screens with Airwave

The new NHS National Rehabilitation Centre will deploy technology to help patients to maintain their independence as they recover from life-changing injuries and illnesses and regain quality of life.

Airwave Healthcare has been selected to equip bedrooms at the new centre with 'intelligent bedside terminals' - iPads that will provide much more than the entertainment services that patients would typically enjoy at home.

AI Accurately Classifies Pancreatic Cysts

Artificial intelligence (AI) models such as ChatGPT are designed to rapidly process data. Using the AI ChatGPT-4 platform to extract and analyze specific data points from the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans of patients with pancreatic cysts, researchers found near-perfect accuracy when compared directly against the manual approach of chart review performed by radiologists, according to a study published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS).

AI Finds Hundreds of Potential Antibiotics in Snake and Spider Venom

Snake, scorpion, and spider venom are most frequently associated with poisonous bites, but with the help of artificial intelligence, they might be able to help fight antibiotic resistance, which contributes to more than one million deaths worldwide each year.

In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania used a deep-learning system called APEX to sift through a database

Meet Your Digital Twin

Before an important meeting or when a big decision needs to be made, we often mentally run through various scenarios before settling on the best course of action. But when it comes to our health - be it choosing a treatment for an ailment or even selecting a dietary regimen - it is a lot harder to predict how each choice will affect our bodies and whether it will suit us personally.

Should AI Chatbots Replace Your Therapist?

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 for therapists.
