New European Initiative Aims to Accelerate AI in Cardiovascular Care

A new EU-funded flagship initiative to harness the power of health data and artificial intelligence (AI) across the continuum of cardiovascular care has been launched, with funding from the EU4Health Programme.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of mortality and disability in Europe, constituting the primary burden among non-communicable diseases (NCDs), with persistent inequalities across countries and institutions.

AI Tool Successfully Predicts Outcomes of Immunotherapy in Lung Cancer

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools can help physicians predict treatment and survival outcomes in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with immunotherapy, according to a new study published in Nature Medicine. The study reported findings from the I3LUNG project, a large, international trial aimed at improving the current treatment of metastatic NSCLC by developing AI-based predictive models that can help determine the best therapeutic approach for each individual.

How will AI impact the Future of the Clinical Workforce?

Contrary to some predictions, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) agents could lead to more, not fewer, health care professionals working in the United States, according to a new article by a physician and health policy researcher at Weill Cornell Medicine who surveyed economic theory and the history of technology in health care.

The rapid adoption and growing sophistication of medical AI tools have led to concerns that AI could

Multimodal AI Roadmaps the Future of Personalized Cancer Immunotherapy

Cancer immunotherapy has transformed the treatment landscape for many malignancies by activating or restoring antitumor immune responses. Some patients achieve deep and durable remission, but many show primary resistance, experience disease progression after an initial response, or develop immune-related adverse events. Complex response patterns, including pseudoprogression and hyperprogression, further complicate treatment evaluation and adjustment.

AI Helps Find Hidden Human Proteins and Reveals what they Do

New research shows how artificial intelligence, combined with advanced experimental science, can help find “hidden” and unexplored proteins in the human body and reveal what they actually do, according to a new study published in Nature.

The discovery suggests a new way to study how cells communicate, survive stress and possibly support disease.

AI-Enabled Analysis of Pathology Slides may Help Assess Risk of Pancreatic Cancer Recurrence

Mayo Clinic researchers have found that artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled spatial analysis can identify patterns in routine pathology slides that may help clinicians identify which patients with pancreatic cancer are at greater risk of recurrence after treatment and surgery.

The study, published in Clinical Cancer Research, suggests that looking at how residual cancer is
