Human-Robot-AI Teamwork Accelerates Regenerative Medicine

A joint research group led by Genki Kanda at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) has developed a robotic artificial intelligence (AI) system for autonomously determining the optimal conditions for growing replacement retina layers necessary for vision. The AI controlled a trial and error process spanning 200 million possible conditions that succeeded in improving cell culture recipes used in regenerative medicine.

App to Help Doctors Help Patients with Leukemia

Researchers at the University of Copenhagen and clinicians at Rigshospitalet have developed an app that can help doctors make better decisions for patients with leukaemia.

The researchers analysed a data set containing 112 million blood tests from 1.3 million Danes, 1,123 of whom suffer from chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL).

£8.5 Million Research Program to Transform AI Ethics and Regulation in the UK

A new research programme has been announced that will see researchers collaborate with industry and policymakers to tackle some of the of the biggest ethical questions posed by Artificial Intelligence (AI), in order to build public trust and ensure the UK remains at global forefront of the research, development and deployment of AI technology.

Telemedicine Helped Ensure Essential Type 2 Diabetes Care Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic

A new study from the University of Eastern Finland indicates that the COVID-19 pandemic has seriously affected healthcare service usage among patients with 2 type diabetes in North Karelia, Finland, but essential care was continuously provided. The delivery of many essential services was facilitated by processes that strongly relied on telemedicine already before the pandemic.

Language Matters when Describing Weight Loss Goals

Obesity affects millions of individuals worldwide and is associated with a significantly increased risk for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. A study publishing June 16th in the open access journal PLOS Digital Health by Annabell Ho at Noom, Inc. New York, United States, suggests that while setting a weight-loss goal, analytical language was associated with greater weight loss success and a lower likelihood of attrition.

Automating Renal Access in Kidney Stone Surgery Using AI-enabled Surgical Robot

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is an efficient, minimally-invasive, gold standard procedure used for removing large kidney stones. Creating an access from the skin on the back to the kidney - called renal access, is a crucial yet challenging step in PCNL. An inefficiently created renal access can lead to severe complications including massive bleeding, thoracis and bowel injuries, renal pelvis perforation, or even sepsis.

App Detecting Jaundice in Babies a Success in First Major Clinical Trial

A smartphone app that identifies severe jaundice in newborn babies by scanning their eyes could be a life-saver in areas that lack access to expensive screening devices, suggests a study co-authored by researchers at UCL (University College London) and the University of Ghana.
