While targeted radiation can be an effective treatment for brain tumours, subsequent potential necrosis of the treated areas can be hard to distinguish from the tumours on a standard MRI. A new study led by a York University professor in the Lassonde School of Engineering found that a novel AI-based method is better able to distinguish between the two types of lesions on advanced MRI than the human eye alone, a discovery that could help clinicians more accurately identify and treat the issues.

Balance training patients may soon be able to get AI feedback during home exercises, with four wearable sensors and a new machine learning model developed at the University of Michigan.

The team hopes their technology could help patients make faster progress during physical therapy and maintain their abilities after the end of their prescribed sessions.

Sweat contains a wealth of biological information that, with the help of artificial intelligence and next-generation sensors, could transform how we monitor our health and wellbeing, a new study suggests.

The study, published in the Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis, examines sweat's potential for real-time monitoring of hormones and other biomarkers, medication doses, and early detection of diseases such as diabetes, cancer, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

While artificial intelligence (AI) technology is increasingly being used - formally and informally - to support medical diagnoses, its utility in emergency medical settings remains an open question. Can AI support doctors in situations where split-second decision making can mean the difference between life and death? Researchers at Drexel University broached the question with clinicians at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., to better understand how and when the technology could help them save lives.

A new study shows that an AI assistant can conduct assessment conversations with patients with higher accuracy than the rating scales used in healthcare today. In the study, 303 participants were interviewed by the AI ​​assistant Alba, who then suggested possible psychiatric diagnoses.

In addition to being interviewed by an AI assistant, the participants also had to fill out standardized rating scales for the nine most common psychiatric diagnoses.

When physicians don’t have to type detailed clinical notes while simultaneously talking to their patients, the visit feels different. Eye contact lasts longer, follow-up questions become sharper, and - crucially - clinicians go home less drained.

That’s the promise of ambient clinical documentation, an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted technology that records healthcare conversations and transforms them into clear,

An AI tool that can analyse abnormalities in the shape and form of blood cells, and with greater accuracy and reliability than human experts, could change the way conditions such as leukaemia are diagnosed.

Researchers have created a system called CytoDiffusion that uses generative AI - the same type of technology behind image generators such as DALL-E - to study the shape and structure of blood cells.
