Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have demonstrated that large language models (LLMs), such as GPT-4, could help automate functional genomics research, which seeks to determine what genes do and how they interact. The most frequently-used approach in functional genomics, called gene set enrichment, aims to determine the function of experimentally-identified [...]
System C, a leader in healthcare and social care technology solutions, has announced the successful development of a new groundbreaking AI capability. In partnership with Microsoft, System C’s AI Assistant for Social Care will support social care practitioners by reducing their admin burden. Frontline workers will be able to simply record their assessment or meetings [...]
Large language models, a type of AI that analyses text, can predict the results of proposed neuroscience studies more accurately than human experts, finds a new study led by UCL (University College London) researchers. The findings, published in Nature Human Behaviour, demonstrate that large language models (LLMs) trained on vast datasets of text can distil patterns [...]
The 8th Annual Digi-Tech Pharma & AI conference will bring a host of interactive sessions, expert speakers, senior professionals and decision makers from leading pharma, biotech and healthcare industry to London. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet decision makers, benchmark and learn from real-life use cases to drive organisational change and to understand the [...]
FertilAI - a company utilising artificial intelligence (AI) to optimise the fertility journey - has raised $4.5 million to support market expansion, personnel, and reinforcing R&D efforts. FertilAI provides doctors with AI-driven patient insights to aide clinical decision-making and optimise clinic workflow and efficiency. The company's AI-based Fertilane platform integrates with clinic electronic medical records [...]
Researchers have used artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse patient urine samples and predict when symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) will flare up. The patients taking part in the study carried out a simple daily test on their urine and sent their results to researchers using their mobile phones. Using AI to analyse the [...]
A newly published scientific review explores state-of-the-art developments in skin fluorescence photography and its applications, focusing on combining it with AI algorithms for non-invasive skin diagnostics. The study highlights the power of AI to enhance skin fluorescence photography, allowing early, non-invasive detection of skin conditions. This approach allows skincare experts to diagnose underlying issues earlier, [...]
A new study has revealed that an algorithm fuelled by artificial intelligence (AI) can accurately detect early-stage metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) by using electronic health records. Liver disease, which is treatable when discovered early, often goes undetected until late stages. Now, researchers have used an AI algorithm to analyse imaging findings in electronic health [...]
A new AI program, SEQUOIA, can analyse a microscopy image from a tumour biopsy (left, purple) and rapidly determine what genes are likely turned on and off in the cells it contains (gene expression shown in shades of red and blue on right).
