A University of Missouri researcher has created a computer program that can unravel the mysteries of how proteins work together - giving scientists valuable insights to better prevent, diagnose and treat cancer and other diseases.

Jianlin "Jack" Cheng from Mizzou's College of Engineering and his student, Nabin Giri, have developed a tool called Cryo2Struct that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to build the three-dimensional atomic structure of large protein complexes, work recently published in Nature Communications.

The much-hyped AI products like ChatGPt may provide medical doctors and healthcare professionals with information that can aggravate patients' conditions and lead to serious health consequences, a study suggests.

Researchers considered three-nutrition related diseases in their study, with two experienced dietitians examining a total of 63 ChatGPT outputs of disease management against medical guidelines.

A survey led by researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden reveals that a significant proportion of UK general practitioners (GPs) are integrating generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, into their clinical workflows. The results highlight the rapidly growing role of artificial intelligence in healthcare - a development that has the potential to revolutionise patient care but also raises significant ethical and safety concerns.

Big data and artificial intelligence are transforming how we think about health, from detecting diseases and spotting patterns to predicting outcomes and speeding up response times.

In a new study analyzing two million Google Street View images from New York City streets, a team of New York University researchers evaluated the utility of this digital data in informing public health decision-making.

Researchers at Klick Labs unveiled a cutting-edge, non-invasive technique that can predict chronic high blood pressure (hypertension) with a high degree of accuracy using just a person's voice. Just published in the peer-reviewed journal IEEE Access, the findings hold tremendous potential for advancing early detection of chronic high blood pressure and showcase yet another novel way to harness vocal biomarkers for better health outcomes.

The chatbot ChatGPT performed better than trainee doctors in assessing complex cases of respiratory disease in areas such as cystic fibrosis, asthma and chest infections in a study presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress in Vienna, Austria.

The study also showed that Google’s chatbot Bard performed better than trainees in some aspects and Microsoft’s Bing chatbot performed as well as trainees.

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a noninvasive technique that could dramatically improve the way doctors monitor intracranial hypertension, a condition where increased pressure in the brain can lead to severe outcomes like strokes and hemorrhages.

The new approach, driven by artificial intelligence (AI), offers a safer and faster alternative to the current gold standard of drilling into the skull.
