Machine learning helps identify rheumatoid arthritis subtypes

A machine-learning tool created by Weill Cornell Medicine and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) investigators can help distinguish subtypes of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which may help scientists find ways to improve care for the complex condition.

The study published Aug. 29 in Nature Communications shows that artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies can effectively and efficiently subtype pathology samples from patients with RA.

New Diabetes Research Links Blood Glucose Levels and Voice

As part of its ongoing exploration of vocal biomarkers and the role they can play in enhancing health outcomes, Klick Labs published a new study in Scientific Reports - confirming the link between blood glucose levels and voice pitch and opening the door to future advancements in non-invasive glucose monitoring for people living with Type 2 diabetes.

New AI Software could Make Diagnosing Dementia Easier and Faster for Doctors

Although Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia - a catchall term for cognitive deficits that impact daily living, like the loss of memory or language - it's not the only one. Because multiple causes of dementia can happen simultaneously, reaching a definitive diagnosis isn't easy or quick. And often by then, it’s too late to intervene.

Boston University's Vijaya B. Kolachalama, an expert on using computers to aid medical diagnoses, has created an artificial intelligence tool that can determine what’s causing a person's cognitive decline, and assist doctors in more efficiently zeroing in on an accurate diagnosis.

AI Spots Cancer and Viral Infections at Nanoscale Precision

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) and the Fundación Biofisica Bizkaia (FBB, located in Biofisika Institute) have developed an artificial intelligence which can differentiate cancer cells from normal cells, as well as detect the very early stages of viral infection inside cells.

Video Gaming Improves Mental Well-Being

A pioneering study titled "Causal effect of video gaming on mental well-being in Japan 2020-2022," published in Nature Human Behaviour, has conducted the most comprehensive investigation to date on the causal relationship between video gaming and mental well-being. This research, the first to demonstrate this relationship using real-life data, challenges commonly held views about the effects of gaming.

ChatGPT Shows Promise in Answering Patients' Questions to Urologists

The groundbreaking ChatGPT chatbot shows potential as a time-saving tool for responding to patient questions sent to the urologist's office, suggests a study in the September issue of Urology Practice®, an Official Journal of the American Urological Association (AUA). The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer.

The artificial intelligence (AI) tool generated "acceptable" responses to nearly one-half of a sample of real-life patient questions, according to the new research by Michael Scott, MD, a urologist at Stanford University School of Medicine.

Survey: Most Americans Comfortable with AI in Healthcare

Artificial intelligence (AI) is all around us - from smart home devices to entertainment and social media algorithms. But is AI okay in healthcare? A new national survey commissioned by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center finds most Americans believe it is, with a few reservations.

The national poll of 1,006 people found:
