In this article, Tina Joros, JD, chair, and Stephen Speicher, MD, vice chair of the EHR Association AI Task Force explore the importance of a risk-based approach to AI and machine learning in healthcare. The regulatory landscape for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) continues to evolve. As the United States awaits the release [...]
New research shows a clear association between brain tumour size and mortality, with earlier diagnosis linked to improved survival outcomes. The findings suggest that detecting brain cancer just one month earlier could reduce annual mortality risk by 18–28 per cent. Clinical-stage diagnostics company Dxcover Limited analysed records from 1,196 patients to evaluate how tumour size [...]
Two new advanced predictive algorithms use information about a person’s health conditions and simple blood tests to accurately predict a patient’s chances of having a currently undiagnosed cancer, including hard to diagnose liver and oral cancers. The new models could revolutionise how cancer is detected in primary care, and make it easier for patients to [...]
