Also called personalized medicine, this evolving field makes use of an individual’s genes, lifestyle, environment and other factors to identify unique disease risks and guide treatment decision-making.
Cynthia Rudin, PhD, is a highly regarded computer scientist who’s been eyeing the advance of artificial intelligence into society with equal parts enthusiasm and concern.
By now it’s a difficult-to-dispute likelihood: AI won’t replace doctors making diagnoses, but doctors who use AI will displace doctors who don’t use AI. The hypothesis gets a fresh airing out from the vantage point of the general public.
Researchers at West Virginia University are well placed to tap AI for teasing out the role of existing respiratory concerns in the progression of COVID-19.
Researchers have demonstrated the use of machine learning to predict suicides in a general population, achieving good accuracy by including data from routine health checkups.
Machine learning can help post-childbirth mothers guard against problems with subsequent pregnancies, potentially saving their lives and those of their future babies.
Trotting out a new digital health assistant this week, Amazon is emphasizing the wearable’s incorporation of AI to guide users toward some complicated goals.
Researchers in Canada are working to develop AI models for diagnosing and treating mental illness. One application in their sights involves automated interpretations of brain scans.
When a virus mutates, the researchers explained, it can be benign or even make the virus less dangerous to humans. In this instance, however, many detected mutations have a significant chance of becoming more infectious strains of COVID-19.
Along with new or improved algorithmic applications for chest imaging, watch for word of an AI-powered breathalyzer and other diagnostic techno-weapons aimed at COVID. What they’ll all have in common is full-throated NIH support.
U.S. health systems are increasingly leveraging digital health to conduct their operations, but how health systems are using digital health in their strategies can vary widely.
When human counselors are unavailable to provide work-based wellness coaching, robots can substitute—as long as the workers are comfortable with emerging technologies and the machines aren’t overly humanlike.
A vendor that supplies EHR software to public health agencies is partnering with a health-tech startup in the cloud-communications space to equip state and local governments for managing their response to the COVID-19 crisis.
