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.
Computerized clinical decision support has strong upsides and few to no downsides for both clinicians and patients, according to a systematic literature review.
Researchers at New York University have demonstrated an AI-based way to send COVID patients from the ER to the most appropriate care setting according to their individualized risk.
As its techniques and technologies mature, medical AI will increasingly be used to predict the health trajectories of both outpatients and inpatients. But how will it do at converting educated projections into preventative care?
Industry researchers in medical AI have demonstrated a “causal reasoning” algorithm whose diagnostic accuracy would place it among the top 25% of primary care doctors in the U.K.
Someone had to come right out and ask. Six researchers representing four medical specialties have done so, weighing the odds by reviewing a representative sample of the literature.
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.
