Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. To decrease the high case fatality rates and morbidity for sepsis and septic shock, there is a need to increase the accuracy of early detection of suspected sepsis in prehospital and emergency department settings. This may be achieved by developing risk...

In a new proof-of-concept study led by Dr. Mark Walker at the uOttawa Faculty of Medicine, researchers are pioneering the use of a unique AI-based deep learning model as an assistive tool for the rapid and accurate reading of ultrasound images.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. Heart disease is so deadly in part because the heart, unlike other organs, cannot repair itself after injury. That is why tissue engineering, ultimately including the wholesale fabrication of an entire human heart for transplant, is so important for the future of cardiac medicine.

A research group from Nagoya University in Japan has developed an artificial intelligence for analyzing cell images that uses machine learning to predict the therapeutic effect of drugs. Called in silico FOCUS, this new technology may aid in the discovery of therapeutic agents for neurodegenerative disorders such as Kennedy disease.

A recent study demonstrates that machine learning methods could determine the risk of a viral jump or “spillover” from animals to humans using viral genomes. The research models predicted that genetically similar nonhuman primate viruses had an increased risk of human transmission, which was not the case with other animal groups.

Source: AI can help humans inspect chest X-rays for COVID-19, but the technology is unfit to serve as a standalone diagnostic tool for that purpose, according to a prospective observational study conducted at the University of Minnesota and published online June 1 in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence.

Source: St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney has entered into a multi-year collaboration with imaging solutions developer Sydney Neuroimaging Analysis Centre to co-develop and deploy novel AI diagnostics solutions. According to a media release, the partnership will bring together AI engineers, radiologists, imaging analysts, expert clinicians and data, utilising SNAC’s technology platform to drive large-scale deployment of...

Source: A robotic AI system has been developed by scientists that is capable of improving stem cell procedures that are utilized in regenerative medicine.  The development of the robotic AI system was carried out by a joint research group led by Genki Kanda at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR). The peer-reviewed research was published...

Source: University of Helsinki Introducing the ‘motor assessment of infants jumpsuit’ (MAIJU), it looks exactly like typical baby clothing, but there is a crucial difference – it is full of sensors which assess child development. It’s a romper suit being piloted in Helsinki, Copenhagen and Pisa. “MAIJU offers the first of its kind quantitative assessment of...

Doctor’s have been able to monitor a patient’s healthcare progress through electronic health records. Now, a new technology program called “Physician Insights” uses artificial intelligence to track a patient’s health outside of their exam room. The Insights tool, created by “agilon health,” measures how often PCPs are doing wellness visits, how often they check in...
