Read the original →Pathology is the gold standard for disease diagnosis and is undergoing a profound transformation. The shift is from traditional microscopy to digital methods.
Read the original →A systematic review of 26 studies found AI models diagnosing multiple sclerosis with over 95 percent accuracy in some cases. Limited external validation and poor interpretability keep most tools from wider use.
Read the original →The article explores how AI-assisted stroke care and 5G networks speed up triage, thrombolysis, and thrombectomy. It describes the aim as improving clinical outcomes in acute ischemic stroke.
Read the original →A single-center study found a large language model exactly matched adjudicated expert severity classifications in 49 percent of 286 hospital adverse event reports. The study also reported strong ordinal agreement.
Read the original →A retrospective study of 186 traumatic brain injury patients found that a model using four admission variables predicted in-hospital complications with an AUC of 0.952.
Read the original →A new fuzzy multi-agent framework continuously assesses hospital resource health. It detected simulated degradation about 69 hours earlier than a deterministic comparator in a locked synthetic dataset.
Read the original →An instruction-tuned language model fine-tuned on 8,527 hospitalization episodes generated reply letters from five clinical document types. Experts rated human-written letters higher on accuracy.
Read the original →VitVio is bringing its Vetro surgical operating system to Hospital Español de Veracruz. The move extends its use of spatial AI from hospital deployments in the United States and Europe into Latin America.
Read the original →A narrative review finds AI applications across emergency medical services show promising results. They remain largely confined to pilot projects.
Read the original →E.K. Koh, chief product officer at Suvoda, discusses what separates a trustworthy AI assistant from one that adds risk. He also covers why curated clinical knowledge matters more than general-purpose flexibility. The Q&A addresses the safeguards needed when assistants move from answering questions to taking actions in clinical trial systems.
Read the original →A comparative policy review finds China's static pre-market approval system poorly matched to continuously learning medical AI. It draws on EU, US and Japanese models to propose a lifecycle-based approach.
Read the original →Experts at UCM analyze the relationship between technology, mental health, and youth suicide. They highlight AI's potential under supervision.
Read the original →A new Perspective proposes VERSION-AI, a two-axis framework for deciding when updates to medical AI systems require renewed clinical evidence.
Read the original →The piece argues that when it comes to tech-enabled health care, no one should be left behind.
Read the original →Lipemia can interfere with photometric hemoglobin (HGB) measurement. It causes spurious elevation and distortion of HGB-derived erythrocyte indices.
Read the original →The final of the 2026 National Healthcare Security Medical Imaging AI Recognition Competition was held in China. The announcement was distributed through AsiaNet (201959).
Read the original →Alibaba Group's research institute DAMO Academy developed the general-purpose medical imaging AI DAMO RADAR with the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine and others. It can identify more than 146 types of conditions at once from contrast-enhanced abdominal CT. It is described as the first general-purpose medical imaging AI to reach specialist-level accuracy.
Read the original →Kansai Medical University General Medical Center in Moriguchi, Osaka, and partners announced on the 15th that they had introduced a system that uses AI to predict the risk of sudden deterioration in patients. The aim is to help critically ill patients in the intensive care unit leave it smoothly.
Read the original →At the 2026 iFlytek Global 1024 Developer Festival, iFlytek Healthcare announced the Spark Medical large model V3.7 and AI patient management platform 3.0. The platform uses artificial intelligence to fill the gap in services for patients after hospital discharge.
