Researchers from Osaka University in Japan are using machine learning to identify patients more likely to survive traumatic injury if treated with tranexamic acid. Worldwide, approximately 4.5 million people die of traumatic injury every year, many of these from blood loss. Early treatment with a drug called tranexamic acid stops excessive bleeding by reducing the [...]
The AI model ChatGPT can write administrative medical notes up to ten times faster than doctors without compromising quality, according to a new study. Administrative tasks take up a large share of a doctor’s working hours, reducing the time for patient contact and contributing to a stressful work situation. Researchers at Uppsala University Hospital and [...]
Soft tissue sarcomas are rare and difficult to treat, but machine-learning tools have uncovered distinct cellular communities that correlate with prognosis and immunotherapy success. Using novel machine learning tools developed at Stanford Medicine, researchers have mapped three distinct cellular configurations that correspond to clinical outcomes for patients with a rare, difficult-to-treat cancer called soft tissue [...]
Researchers at McMaster University and Stanford University have invented a new generative artificial intelligence model which can design billions of new antibiotic molecules that are inexpensive and easy to build in the laboratory. The worldwide spread of drug-resistant bacteria has created an urgent need for new antibiotics, but even modern AI methods are limited at [...]
Artificial intelligence can spot COVID-19 in lung ultrasound images much like facial recognition software can spot a face in a crowd, new research shows. The findings boost AI-driven medical diagnostics and bring health care professionals closer to being able to quickly diagnose patients with COVID-19 and other pulmonary diseases with algorithms that comb through ultrasound [...]
'Urgent measures' must be taken to protect the public from mass generation of health disinformation by publicly accessible AI assistants, experts have warned, after finding many lack adequate safeguards. Writing in the BMJ, researchers are calling for enhanced regulation, transparency, and routine auditing to help prevent advanced AI assistants from contributing to the generation of [...]
Researchers have developed a new, interpretable artificial intelligence (AI) model to predict five-year breast cancer risk from mammograms, according to a new study. One in eight women, or approximately 13 per cent of the female population in the US will develop invasive breast cancer in their lifetime and one in 39 women (three per cent) [...]
Scientists at The Universities of Manchester and Oxford have developed an AI framework that can identify and track new and concerning COVID-19 variants and could help with other infections in the future. The framework combines dimension reduction techniques and a new explainable clustering algorithm called CLASSIX, developed by mathematicians at The University of Manchester. This [...]

The NHS is set to roll out artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce the number of missed appointments and free up staff time to help bring down the waiting list for elective care. The expansion to 10 more NHS Trusts follows a successful pilot in Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, which has seen the [...]
