  • Watch: AI and life science – What’s next?

    AI is rapidly advancing life sciences by enhancing research capabilities, accelerating drug discovery and improving healthcare outcomes. But where can the technology make the most impact? And what are the limitations? Three experts tackle these questions and more in an exclusive Health Tech World webinar. Featuring: Andrew Davies, Executive Director, Digital Health, ABHI Gil Bashe, [...]

  • MHRA opens applications for the AI Airlock regulatory sandbox

    The UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is calling for applications for manufacturers and developers of Artificial Intelligence (AI) medical devices to join the AI Airlock regulatory sandbox. The AI Airlock is a world leading regulatory sandbox for AI as a Medical Device (AIaMD). The pilot project aims to help the MHRA identify [...]

  • One in five UK doctors use AI chatbots

    A significant proportion of UK GPs are integrating generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, into their clinical workflows, a survey led by researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden has found. The research found 20 per cent of GPs reported using generative AI tools in their practice, with ChatGPT being the most frequently used AI tool. [...]

  • AI products like ChatGPT can provide medics with ‘harmful’ advice

    The much-hyped AI products like ChatGPt may provide medical doctors and healthcare professionals with information that can aggravate patients’ conditions and lead to serious health consequences, a new study suggests. Researchers considered three-nutrition related diseases in their study, with two experienced dietitians examining a total of 63 ChatGPT outputs of disease management against medical guidelines. [...]

  • Encouraging results from respiratory care and predictive AI study

    A study funded by the NHS to investigate using predictive AI in direct care of patients has reported encouraging interim results; finding predictive AI to be safe and effective in healthcare, and well-accepted by users. It follows a recent UK-wide survey by The Health Foundation which found both the public and NHS staff support the [...]

  • AI will surpass human brains once we crack the ‘neural code’

    Humans will build Artificial Intelligence (AI) which surpasses the capabilities of human brains once we crack the ‘neural code’, says an AI technology analyst. Eitan Michael Azoff, a specialist in AI analysis, argues that humans are set to engineer superior intelligence with greater capacity and speed than our own brains. What will unlock this leap [...]

  • Half of FDA-approved AI medical devices not trained on real patient data

    A new analysis of clinical validation data for 500+ medical AI devices has revealed that approximately half of the AI medical devices authorised by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lack reported clinical validation data. Since 2016, the average number of medical AI device authorisations by the FDA per year has increased from 2 [...]

  • AI can speed up development of potential new drugs, finds study

    A new study demonstrates how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to predict the three-dimensional structures of important receptors, speeding up the development of potential drugs. In drug development, experimental methods are often used to determine the three-dimensional structures of target proteins and to understand how molecules bind to them. This information is needed to [...]

  • ChatGPT shows promise in answering urology questions

    ChatGPT shows potential as a time-saving tool for responding to patient questions sent to the urologist's office, suggests a new study. The artificial intelligence (AI) tool generated "acceptable" responses to nearly one-half of a sample of real-life patient questions, according to the new research by Michael Scott, MD, a urologist at Stanford University School of [...]
