By Marie Hattar, SVP, Keysight Technologies The global market for wearable medical devices is transforming how we prevent, diagnose, and treat illness. Wearable medical devices rely on sensors, connectivity features, and advanced technologies to monitor health data and provide real-time updates for remote patient management. These devices are being used for a range of medical [...]
Scientists on a mission to shorten broken bone recovery times are focusing in on plasma irradiation and have shared their findings. A study from an Osaka Metropolitan University-led research group involved breaking the legs of rats in two ways; one group of 24 rats had normal fractures that are generally easy to heal, while the [...]
A new class of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms have been developed called 'hypothesis-driven AI' that are a significant departure from traditional AI models which learn solely from data. In a review published in Cancers, Mayo Clinic researchers note that this emerging class of AI offers an innovative way to use massive datasets to help discover [...]
In a new study, GPT-4 has been found to match the performance of radiologists in detecting errors in radiology reports. Errors in radiology reports may sometimes occur due to resident-to-attending discrepancies, speech recognition inaccuracies and high workload. However, large language models, such as GPT-4, have the potential to enhance the report generation process. This new [...]
Premier League football team Newcastle United are to introduce innovative haptic shirts at their match against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend, enabling deaf fans and those with hearing loss to experience the atmosphere of St. James' Park. The shirts transform the noise of the stadium into real-time touch sensation and will be debuted by both fans [...]
Researchers working on affective computing and social robotics to reduce children's anxiety in hospital, have developed a small robot vehicle equipped with AI and sensors to pick up signals about the child's emotional state. Undergoing medical treatment, having surgery or simply being admitted to hospital are situations that make children fearful and anxious, especially during [...]
Innovation consultancy Fearsome has announced the appointment of industry veteran, Gregg Draudt, to lead its expansion efforts in the United States. Draudt has previously served as a product designer, global design director and client interface leader for firms such as IDEO, Cambridge Consultants, Radius/Jabil, and Essential/PA consultants. Draudt has over 50 patents to his name [...]
A new innovation platform aims to help organisations build AI-powered apps that assist radiologists, reducing burnout and supporting more efficient diagnoses. Bayer, a life-science company with over 100 years experience in radiology products, has now teamed up with Google to develop artificial intelligence (AI) solutions to support radiologists and better serve patients. As part of [...]
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health applied artificial intelligence (AI) to a technique that produces high-resolution images of cells in the eye. They report that with AI, imaging is 100 times faster and improves image contrast 3.5-fold. The advance, they say, will provide researchers with a better tool to evaluate age-related macular degeneration (AMD) [...]
Thousands of people unknowingly living with hepatitis C could have the infection identified, diagnosed and cured thanks to major NHS investment in rapid testing technology. New liver scanning and portable testing units will be deployed in a range of communities where patients are at high risk of contracting the infection. This includes on community clinical [...]
