Creating Exam Questions with ChatGPT

For the study, the UKB (Universitätsklinikum Bonn) researchers created two sets of 25 multiple-choice questions (MCQs), each with five possible answers, one of which was correct. The first set of questions was written by an experienced medical lecturer, the second set was created by ChatGPT. 161 students answered all questions in random order.

AI-Driven Eye Exams Increase Screening Rates for Youth with Diabetes

A Johns Hopkins Children’s Center study of children and youth with diabetes concludes that so-called autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) diabetic eye exams significantly increase completion rates of screenings designed to prevent potentially blinding diabetes eye diseases (DED). During the exam, pictures are taken of the backs of the eyes without the need to dilate them, and AI is used to provide an immediate result.

New AI Tool Accurately Detects COVID-19 from Chest X-Rays

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking Artificial Intelligence (AI) system that can rapidly detect COVID-19 from chest X-rays with more than 98% accuracy. The study results have just been published in Nature Scientific Reports.

Corresponding author Professor Amir H Gandomi, from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) Data Science Institute, said there was a pressing need for effective automated tools to detect COVID-19, given the significant impact on public health and the global economy.

More Lives can be Saved if Ambulance Staff Receive AI-Support

Assessing how seriously injured a person is, involves weighing up lots of different parameters fast. If healthcare professionals could get support making fast-paced, life-critical decisions from an AI tool, more lives could be saved. This is shown by research from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, along with the University of Gothenburg and the University of Borås.

New AI Tool Brings Precision Pathology for Cancer and Beyond into Quicker, Sharper Focus

A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that interprets medical images with unprecedented clarity does so in a way that could allow time-strapped clinicians to dedicate their attention to critical aspects of disease diagnosis and image interpretation.

The tool, called iStar (Inferring Super-Resolution Tissue Architecture), was developed by researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, who believe they can help clinicians diagnose and better treat cancers that might otherwise go undetected.

How Big Data Transforms the Insurance Sector

In 2022, the insurance industry made a whopping USD 6 trillion globally - more than the entire economy of big countries like Japan and Germany. A new study, published in The Journal of Finance and Data Science, looked at how technology, especially big data, is shaking things up in insurance. Big data means using a lot of information to make better decisions.

Both Virtual and in-Person Nutrition Visits Help to Lower Cholesterol

Despite an end to the national public health emergency in May 2023, the use of telehealth remains high, with over 20% of American adults taking appointments online.

These visits include video calls with registered dietitian nutritionists, who have a critical role in helping patients take on lifestyle changes through medical nutrition therapy.
