September 25, 2024 by Harvard Medical School There are more than 7,000 rare and undiagnosed diseases globally. Although each condition occurs in a small number of individuals, collectively these diseases exert a staggering human and economic toll because they affect some 300 million people worldwide. Yet, with a mere 5 to 7% of these conditions...

Researchers say AI model accurately identifies, predicts joint damage in hand X-rays
by American College of Rheumatology Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain New research at ACR Convergence 2023, the American College of Rheumatology’s (ACR) annual meeting, shows that a deep learning system could accurately identify and predict joint space narrowing and erosions in hand radiographs of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Radiographs are the most commonly used imaging technique...

AI Model Can Help Determine Where a Patient’s Cancer Arose
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...

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...

An AI model reveals how the body’s defence system recognises skin cancer
Researchers from the University of Helsinki, HUS Comprehensive Cancer Center, Aalto University and Stanford University have developed an artificial intelligence model that predicts which skin cancer patients will benefit from a treatment that activates the immune defence system. In practice, the AI model makes it possible to diagnose skin cancer with a blood test, determine the prognosis...

AI model may help epilepsy patients become seizure-free
by Monash University Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain A study led by Monash University and believed to be a world first has demonstrated that an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model can potentially predict the best personalized, anti-seizure medication for patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy. The predictive model, once fully developed, would spare these patients the uncertainty of...

An AI model can help predict adverse events from new drug combinations
by American Association for Cancer Research Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Preliminary data from an artificial intelligence model could potentially predict side effects resulting from new combination therapies, according to results presented at the AACR Annual Meeting 2022, held April 8-13. “Clinicians are challenged by the real-world problem that new combination therapies could lead to unpredictable...
