by Amsterdam University Medical Center Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public DomainIn patients with major depression disorder, it is now possible to predict within a week whether an antidepressant will work thanks to the use of artificial intelligence (AI). With the help of an AI algorithm, a brain scan and an individual’s clinical information, researchers from Amsterdam UMC...
by Adina Bresge, University of Toronto Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public DomainMuhammad Mamdani understands why people are wary of artificial intelligence having a say in their health care—but he’s even more concerned about the patients who are waiting to benefit from the potentially life-saving benefits of AI-assisted medicine. As vice-president, data science and advanced analytics at Unity Health...
by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public DomainA Johns Hopkins Children’s Center study of children and youth with diabetes concludes that so-called autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) diabetic eye exams significantly increase completion rates of screenings designed to prevent potentially blinding diabetes eye diseases (DED). During the exam, pictures are taken of the backs...

by Kathrin Kottke, University of Münster Credit: Blood Advances (2023). DOI: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2023011076Decisions on treatment for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)—a highly aggressive form of leukemia—are based, among other things, on a series of certain genetic features of the disease; but at the time when a diagnosis is made, this information is not available. Evidence of...
By Paul McClure Researchers have created an AI algorithm that can detect COVID-19 infection from chest X-rays with 98% accuracy Depositphotos Researchers have developed a deep learning-based AI algorithm that automatically analyzes chest X-rays to rapidly detect COVID-19 infection with more than 98% accuracy, distinguishing between normal X-rays and X-rays from people with pneumonia, which often...
Artificial intelligence, coupled with data from an iPad coloring game, could assist in early diagnosis of autism, a new USC study shows. “These results indicate potential for an easy and novel method for early detection of autism and development coordination disorder,” said senior author Lisa Aziz-Zadeh, a professor at the USC Mrs. T.H. Chan Division...
by National Research Council of Science and Technology Simulation-Guided Navigation Systems Credit: Korea Institute of Science and TechnologyFocused ultrasound technology is a non-invasive treatment method that focuses ultrasound energy on a few millimeters of the brain, including deep regions, to treat neurological disorders without opening the skull. It has been applied to the treatment of various...
For the first time in over 60 years, a new class of antibiotics to treat drug-resistant staph infections has been discovered using artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning; a landmark breakthrough to address the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis. This important discovery to advance global health care has been made using artificial intelligence machine learning by researchers...
These compounds can kill methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a bacterium that causes deadly infections. Anne Trafton|MIT News Using a type of artificial intelligence known as deep learning, MIT researchers have discovered a class of compounds that can kill a drug-resistant bacterium that causes more than 10,000 deaths in the United States every year. In a...
