AI could Run a Million Microbial Experiments per Year

An artificial intelligence (AI) system enables robots to conduct autonomous scientific experiments - as many as 10,000 per day - potentially driving a drastic leap forward in the pace of discovery in areas from medicine to agriculture to environmental science.

Reported today in Nature Microbiology, the team was led by a professor now at the University of Michigan.

AI in Medical Imaging could Magnify Health Inequities

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the medical field has the possibility to automate diagnoses, decrease physician workload, and even to bring specialized healthcare to people in rural areas or developing countries. However, with possibility comes potential pitfalls.

Analyzing crowd-sourced sets of data used to create AI algorithms from medical images, University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) researchers found that most did not include patient demographics.

New AI Algorithm Boosts COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Antibody Response by 128 Times

A team of researchers from Baidu Research has developed an AI algorithm that can rapidly design highly stable COVID-19 mRNA vaccine sequences that were previously unattainable. The algorithm, named LinearDesign, represents a major leap in both stability and efficacy for vaccine sequences, achieving a 128-fold increase in the COVID-19 vaccine's antibody response.

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.
