Belong.life, creator of the world’s largest social and professional network for cancer patients, recently launched a dedicated platform for people with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). Health Tech World speaks to chief medical director Dr. Daniel Vorobiof to find out more. HTW: How did the community for CML patients come about? DV: Our dedicated CML community [...]
AI can help to prevent avoidable harm and save thousands of hours as clinicians deal with a growing national backlog.
How can we accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare?
By Richard Haigh, CTO, HealthHero.
Many people with uncommon diseases endure a long search for the correct diagnosis. The majority of rare diseases are genetic; and the underlying hereditary mutations often cause varying degrees of impairment in different areas of the body. In most cases, these hereditary changes are also expressed by characteristic facial features: for example, because eyebrows, the [...]
Green Door Clinic – a specialist mental health clinic based in the renowned Harley Street Medical Area (HSMA) – is trialling a revolutionary machine learning tool that tracks voice changes, offering a robust new way to manage depression. One problem with managing major depression is that patients and clinicians often lack a robust way to [...]
A new study has shown the efficacy of the AI-driven Eko Smart Stethoscope in screening for heart failure in seconds. Imperial College London and the NHS partnered on the study to test the device, developed by the US health tech company of the same name. Eko's low ejection fraction algorithm (ELEFT) detects a weakened heart pump, which [...]
Talking Medicines, an AI-driven "patient intelligence" firm designed to meet the needs of pharma, has closed a £1.5m funding round to drive its US growth. Boston-based life science investor Mark Bamforth of Thairm Bio has joined the current funders in a syndicated funding round of £1,500,000 alongside Tern Plc, the investment company specialising in the [...]
A smart stethoscope combined with an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm could enable earlier diagnosis of heart failure and improved patient outcomes, researchers have found. The team from the National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI) and Imperial’s Centre for Cardiac Engineering have completed the first NHS study to evaluate an artificial intelligence (AI) technology for point-of-care [...]
Researchers say artificial intelligence (AI) can predict which viruses could infect humans, like SARS-CoV-2, the virus that led to the COVID-19 pandemic, which animals host them and where they could emerge. In the first quarter of 2020, a team led by scientists at Georgetown University trained eight statistical models that could predict which kinds of [...]
