Artificial intelligence model helps match people with high blood pressure to the medication most likely to work. For the nearly half of Americans with hypertension, it’s a potential death sentence; it increases the risk of stroke and chronic heart failure. While it’s relatively easy to prevent or moderate if caught early — eat well, exercise more,...

AI Model Interprets EEGs With Near-Perfect Accuracy
Eve Bender June 28, 2023 An automated artificial intelligence (AI) model trained to read electroencephalograms (EEGs) in patients with suspected epilepsy is just as accurate as trained neurologists, new data suggests. Known as SCORE-AI, the technology distinguishes between abnormal and normal EEG recordings and classifies irregular recordings into specific categories crucial for patient decision-making. Dr Sándor Beniczky “SCORE-AI can be...

GOOGLE’S NEW AI DESCRIBES X-RAYS AND ANSWERS PATIENT QUESTIONS
Google has unveiled PaLM 2, an AI platform for analyzing medical data. It aims to assist doctors with routine tasks and provide more reliable answers to patient questions than “Dr. Google.” AI in healthcare will enhance work efficiency, diagnostic quality, treatment outcomes, and automate care processes, despite being unable to replace doctors. While PaLM 2 cannot replace doctors, it...
