This is my new AI in Healthcare Highlights & Milestones Report for Summer 2022. This report includes an overview of advances made during the summer across the healthcare spectrum including important studies, regulatory clearances, fundraising, partnerships, and growth in the AI ecosystem worldwide. This summer scientists demonstrated how they successfully used AI in many areas including: to reduce sepsis deaths, to predict cardiac events, to detect breast cancer, to detect lung cancer, to detects osteoporosis, to detect Parkinson's, to monitor diabetic retinopathy, to detect heart disease, to detect bladder cancer, to enable pathology, to detect fractures, and to monitor Parkinson's using the Apple Watch. Radiologists More Accurate Detecting Breast Cancer with AI Than Without AI In July scientists in Germany published a large-scale study demonstrating that radiologists working with AI were more accurate detecting breast cancer than radiologists working without AI, and vice versa – the AI was more accurate when working with a radiologist than when working independently. The study was led by Vara, a German company, in collaboration with radiologists at the Essen University Hospital in Germany and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

Artificial intelligence is joining a long-running debate about art in the Caves of the Thousand Buddhas. Bored out of the cliffs above the Dachuan river, along the ancient Silk Road in northern China, this collection of 735 caves has outlived the various dynasties that built and filled them with over a millennia of Buddhist art. Amongst the artworks are thousands of murals that have been dated according to their creation, but with some of them art historians can't agree.
