Predictions from the OncoNPC model could enable doctors to choose targeted treatments for difficult-to-treat tumors. For a small percentage of cancer patients, doctors are unable to determine where their cancer originated. This makes it much more difficult to choose a treatment for those patients, because many cancer drugs are typically developed for specific cancer types. A...

Harnessing artificial intelligence for better patient care
by Jennifer Monahan, Carnegie Mellon University Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) provides one of the most promising—and fraught—advancements in the ever-evolving landscape of the health care sector. Electronic records let physicians access patient information more easily. Phone apps and web-based tools allow users to schedule appointments and check test results online....

AI could shorten the diagnostic journey of millions suffering from endometriosis
by University of Surrey Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain The quality of life of millions suffering from endometriosis—a painful disease where sensitive tissue grows outside of the uterus—could be improved by a new artificial intelligence (AI) system with technology developed by the University of Adelaide in South Australia, in partnership with researchers from the University of Surrey. The IMAGENDO...

New Artificial Intelligence Program Could Help Treat Hypertension
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...

The people paid to train AI are outsourcing their work… to AI
By Rhiannon Williams STEPHANIE ARNETT/MITTR | GETTY A significant proportion of people paid to train AI models may be themselves outsourcing that work to AI, a new study has found. It takes an incredible amount of data to train AI systems to perform specific tasks accurately and reliably. Many companies pay gig workers on platforms...
