Study Finds ChatGTP Outperforms Physicians in Providing High-Quality, Empathetic Advice to Patient Questions

There has been widespread speculation about how advances in artificial intelligence (AI) assistants like ChatGPT could be used in medicine.

A new study published in JAMA Internal Medicine led by Dr. John W. Ayers from the Qualcomm Institute within the University of California San Diego provides an early glimpse into the role that AI assistants could play in medicine.

More than 16,000 Participants and Over 700 Exhibitors: DMEA - Connecting Digital Health Draws a Positive Balance

25 - 27 April 2023, Berlin, Germany.
DMEA 2023 concluded yesterday with a significant increase in attendees. In his keynote speech opening the event, Federal Minister of Health and patron of DMEA Prof. Dr. Karl Lauterbach described the next steps for digitalising the healthcare system.

AI Algorithm may Help Better Guide Oropharynx Cancer Treatment

For patients with human papilloma virus (HPV)-associated oropharynx cancer, assessing the presence of cancer cells beyond the lymph nodes, or extranodal extension (ENE), is critical in determining proper treatment. However, ENE is often challenging to detect on imaging pre-treatment, which can lead to an escalation in treatment resulting in greater toxicity and worse quality of life outcomes.

Researchers Help AI Express Uncertainty to Improve Health Monitoring Tech

A team of engineering and health researchers has developed a tool that improves the ability of electronic devices to detect when a human patient is coughing, which has applications in health monitoring. The new tool relies on an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that helps the AI better identify uncertainty when faced with unexpected data in real-world situations.

How AI and a Mobile Phone App could Help you Quit Smoking

A stop smoking mobile app that senses where and when you might be triggered to light up could help people quit - according to University of East Anglia research.

Quit Sense is the world's first Artificial Intelligence (AI) stop smoking app which detects when people are entering a location they used to smoke in. It then provides support to help manage people’s specific smoking triggers in that location.

Creating an Artificial Pathologist

A team from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) in Erlangen has created a new, fast and precise method for clinicians to analyse cells in tissue samples from cancer patients without the need for a trained pathologist. They use artificial intelligence to evaluate the data their method produces.

During cancer surgery, fast and accurate information about the operated tissue is required to guide the surgeon's next steps.

ChatGPT has Potential to Help Cirrhosis, Liver Cancer Patients

A new study by Cedars-Sinai investigators describes how ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, may help improve health outcomes for patients with cirrhosis and liver cancer by providing easy-to-understand information about basic knowledge, lifestyle and treatments for these conditions.

The findings, published in the peer-reviewed journal Clinical and Molecular Hepatology, highlights the AI system’s potential to play a role in clinical practice.
