A team of Boston College researchers was awarded a $3.2 million grant by the NIH. The grant is to develop the first AI-augmented ultrasound system.
Read the original →The article argues that the biggest risk in healthcare AI may not be the model itself. It points instead to the infrastructure, financing and concentration sitting underneath it.
Read the original →Researchers at the Vellore Institute of Technology developed three hybrid deep learning models. The models combine convolutional networks, transformers, and clinical metadata conditioning to segment breast ultrasound images.
Read the original →South Korean medical AI company Coreline Soft received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance for AVIEW Aorta Metrics, which automatically analyzes and measures the aorta using chest CT images. The clearance, granted on October 16, brings its cumulative total to 13 FDA 510(k) clearances. It expands the company's imaging capabilities into cardiovascular analysis.
Read the original →A systematic review of 29 prediction models found striking performance numbers but limited external validation. The review concludes that AI tools for radiation gut toxicity are promising but not yet ready for clinical use.
Read the original →A new counterfactual machine learning framework estimates how alternative acute nursing care strategies would individually affect critically ill oncology patients. The patients in question have cardiovascular risk factors.
Read the original →The description notes that the distinction between breast-level and participant-level output deserves careful attention when interpreting the reported performance figures. In clinical breast imaging, a single patient may have more than one breast examined.
Read the original →Transplantation researchers argue that AI in transplant medicine consists of many narrow, single-purpose tools rather than one monolithic system. They propose a five-question framework for understanding these tools.
Read the original →A vision-capable large language model detected coronary artery calcification on routine chest X-rays with promising accuracy. The finding suggests ordinary radiographs could serve as opportunistic heart disease screening.
Read the original →TechNovaTime has raised US$3.4m in pre-seed funding. It will use the money to develop its AI-powered healthcare automation platform and expand into more health systems.
Read the original →An Israeli hospital system gives hospitalized children a voice through AI-generated communication boards. The boards are created in under five minutes.
Read the original →The description says AI integration into hospital throughput command centers is improving efficiency and patient management. It describes the market segment as growing rapidly, driven by technological advances and demand for streamlined operations.
Read the original →Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem said on Friday that AI is everywhere in the global economy.
Read the original →Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark spoke on Saturday about how AI's growing capabilities can bring significant change across all industries. He was speaking at the IMF and World Bank annual meeting.
Read the original →Shridevi Institute of Medical Sciences in Tumakuru signed an MoU with Vaxonyx LLC to collaborate on AI-enabled bioinformatics and genomic research tailored for Indian populations. They will develop personalized cancer therapies by analyzing individual tumor profiles and explore creating genomic datasets to improve genetic models. They also intend to develop DNA-based vaccine candidates for relevant public health issues.
Read the original →Spec-driven development tools help regulated engineering teams control AI coding agents. They do this through structured software specifications and formal requirements governance.
Read the original →Cohen spoke at the Silvia Investor Summit alongside entrepreneur and investor Anthony Pompliano. He delivered a stark warning about the trajectory of AI.
Read the original →MedTech Group, a medical AI and hospital AI PMO company based in Minato-ku, Tokyo, is rolling out "Chat Hippo," a companion AI within its AI Hippo medical Loop platform. The workflow is aimed at education and clinical settings.
