New AI Transforms Radiology with Speed, Accuracy Never Seen Before

A first-of-its-kind generative AI system, developed in-house at Northwestern Medicine, is revolutionizing radiology - boosting productivity, identifying life-threatening conditions in milliseconds and offering a breakthrough solution to the global radiologist shortage, a large new study finds.

The findings will be published on Thursday (June 5) in JAMA Network Open.

New Research Finds Specific Learning Strategies can Enhance AI Model Effectiveness in Hospitals

If data used to train artificial intelligence models for medical applications, such as hospitals across the Greater Toronto Area, differs from the real-world data, it could lead to patient harm. A new study out today from York University found proactive, continual and transfer learning strategies for AI models to be key in mitigating data shifts and subsequent harms.

'AI Scientist' Suggests Combinations of Widely Available Non-Cancer Drugs can Kill Cancer Cells

An 'AI scientist', working in collaboration with human scientists, has found that combinations of cheap and safe drugs - used to treat conditions such as high cholesterol and alcohol dependence - could also be effective at treating cancer, a promising new approach to drug discovery.

Brains vs. Bytes: Study Compares Diagnoses Made by AI and Clinicians

A University of Maine study compared how well artificial intelligence (AI) models and human clinicians handled complex or sensitive medical cases.

The study published in the Journal of Health Organization and Management in May evaluated more than 7,000 anonymized medical queries from the United States and Australia.

Patients say "Yes..ish" to the use of AI in dentistry

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to be integrated in healthcare, a new multinational study involving Aarhus University sheds light on how dental patients really feel about its growing role in diagnostics. The verdict? Patients are cautiously optimistic welcoming the potential benefits of AI but drawing a firm line: humans must stay in charge.

New App may Help Caregivers of People Getting a Bone Marrow Transplant

A new study by investigators from Mass General Brigham showed that a new app they created can help improve the quality of life for caregivers of patients undergoing bone marrow transplant (BMT). The researchers conducted a randomized clinical trial and found that caregivers assigned to use the app showed significantly greater improvements in quality of life, burden, and mood symptoms compared to those who did not have the app.

An App to Detect Heart Attacks and Strokes - and Save Lives

A potentially lifesaving new smartphone app can help people determine if they are suffering heart attacks or strokes and should seek medical attention, a clinical study suggests.

The ECHAS app (Emergency Call for Heart Attack and Stroke) is being developed by experts at UVA Health, Harvard, Northeastern and other leading institutions.
