The same underlying technology powering massively popular generative AI models like from large tech firms like OpenAI is now being used to scan for early signs of lung disease. Google, one of the leaders in new AI models, is partnering with a healthcare startup that's analyzing vast datasets of coughs and sneezes to detect signs of tuberculous or other respiratory diseases before they get worse. It's one of numerous ways the quickly evolving technology is rapidly reshaping early detection of disease across the healthcare industry. What happens once that initial diagnosis is made, however, still requires quintessential human clinical expertise. Earlier this year, Google released details about a new healthcare self-supervised, deep-learning model they dubbed Health Acoustics Representation (HeAR).

Doctors believe Artificial Intelligence is now saving lives after a major advancement in breast cancer screenings. In some cases, AI is detecting early signs of the disease years before doctors would find the cancer on a traditional scan. Boca Raton, FL – Some doctors believe artificial intelligence is saving lives after a major advancement in breast cancer screenings. In some cases, AI is detecting early signs of the disease years before the tumor would be visible on a traditional scan. The Christine E. Lynn Women's Health and Wellness Institute at the Boca Raton Regional Hospital found a 23% increase in cancer cases since implementing AI during breast cancer screenings.

Parkinson's disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement and muscle control. Lithuanian researchers from Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) utilized AI to identify the early signs of Parkinson's disease using voice data. The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease has shaken many lives, with over 10 million people currently living with the condition. Although there is no cure, early detection of symptoms can lead to better management of the disease. As the disease progresses, changes in speech can occur alongside other symptoms.

Washington [US], December 17 (ANI): Researchers from the University of Jyvaskyla and the Central Finland Health Care District have developed an AI based neural network to detect an early knee osteoarthritis from x-ray images. AI was able to match a doctors' diagnosis in 87 per cent of cases. The result is important because x-rays are the primary diagnostic method for early knee osteoarthritis. An early diagnosis can save the patient from unnecessary examinations, treatments and even knee joint replacement surgery. Osteoarthritis is the most common joint-related ailment globally.

In the last few decades, technology has been a blessing. We also saw its progress. Artificial intelligence has made our lives easier, from the everyday gadgets we use to make life easier to the healthcare field and medical care. AI in healthcare is a boon for both patients and doctors. Let's take a look at how AI is being used and what we can do with it in the future. Artificial intelligence is the future of healthcare.

A stick-on patch that can take an ultrasound scan of a person's insides as they go about their daily life has been hailed as a revolution in medical imaging. The wearable patch, which is the size of a postage stamp, can image blood vessels, the digestive system and internal organs for up to 48 hours, giving doctors a more detailed picture of a patient's health than the snapshots provided by routine scans. In laboratory tests, researchers used the patches to watch people's hearts change shape during exercise, their stomachs expand and shrink as they drank and passed drinks, and their muscles pick up microdamage when weightlifting. Prof Xuanhe Zhao at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who led the research team, said the patches could "revolutionise" medical imaging because existing scans are very brief, sometimes lasting only seconds, and usually have to be performed in hospitals. Ultimately, Zhao envisions people buying boxes of the patches over the counter and using them, with help from smart algorithms on their mobile phones, to monitor their heart, lungs and digestive systems for early signs of disease or infection, or their muscles during rehabilitation or physical training.

An artificial intelligence (AI) tool developed by Cedars-Sinai investigators accurately predicted who would develop pancreatic cancer based on what their CT scan images looked like years prior to being diagnosed with the disease. The findings, which may help prevent death through early detection of one of the most challenging cancers to treat, are published in the journal Cancer Biomarkers. "This AI tool was able to capture and quantify very subtle, early signs of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in CT scans years before occurrence of the disease. These are signs that the human eye would never be able to discern," said Debiao Li, PhD, director of the Biomedical Imaging Research Institute, professor of Biomedical Sciences and Imaging at Cedars-Sinai, and senior and corresponding author of the study. Li is also the Karl Storz Chair in Minimally Invasive Surgery in Honor of George Berci, MD.

Developed by a team at Cedars-Sinai, the novel AI technology can accurately forecast early signs of a heart attack, predicting which patients will experience a heart attack in five years based on the level and composition of plaque in arteries that supply the heart with blood. The findings of the team's research, which was funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, are published in The Lancet Digital Health. When plaque builds up, it can result in a narrowing of the arteries, making it more challenging for blood to be transported to the heart, which increases the chances of a heart attack. Traditionally, health professionals employ a medical test called coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) to capture 3D images of the heart and arteries, which gives the doctors an estimate of how much a patient's arteries have narrowed. However, until now, there has not been an efficient, automated, and rapid method for measuring the plaque shown in the CTA images.

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a prototype toilet that uses an artificial intelligence-trained camera to track the form of feces and monitor the color and flow of urine. A "lab-on-a-chip" device built into the toilet will analyze micro stool samples to detect viruses like Covid-19 and blood, says Seung-min Park, the lead researcher on the project. This digital diary could yield valuable health insights and facilitate early, noninvasive diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome or colorectal cancer, Dr. Park says. A look at how innovation and technology are transforming the way we live, work and play. An app would allow users to track health parameters.

We have enjoyed the power of technology in the past few decades, and we saw it progress. From the gadgets that we use daily to make our life more convenient to the medical field and healthcare, we have been enjoying the technology of artificial intelligence to make things easier. Let's dive in on how we're using this and how we can use it in the future. The future of healthcare is here as we are using artificial intelligence in diagnostics and treatment. It could only mean that we can expect the advancements in technology in this field to rise further and faster.
