Artificial intelligence detects cancer with 17% more accuracy than doctors in UCLA study

FOX News

Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. Artificial intelligence is outpacing doctors when it comes to detecting a common cancer in men. A new study from UCLA found that an AI tool identified prostate cancer with 84% accuracy -- compared to 67% accuracy for cases detected by physicians, according to a press release from the university. Unfold AI, made by Avenda Health in California -- a software recently cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration -- uses an AI algorithm to visualize the likelihood of cancer based on various types of clinical data.


AI blood test could detect Parkinson's disease up to 7 years before symptoms: 'Particularly promising'

FOX News

Fox News' Dr. Marc Siegel has the latest on the treatment of the brain disease on'America Reports.' A new blood test could reveal Parkinson's diagnoses up to seven years before symptoms emerge. Researchers from University College London and University Medical Center Goettingen in Germany used artificial intelligence to develop the test. The study, which was published in the journal Nature Communications, included 72 patients with rapid eye movement behavior disorder (iRBD), a condition that has been linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer's. When the researchers used machine learning to analyze blood samples from the patients, they discovered that 79% of them had the same biomarkers as people with Parkinson's.


More doctors use ChatGPT to help with busy workloads, but is AI a reliable assistant?

FOX News

Dr. AI will see you now. It might not be that far from the truth, as more and more physicians are turning to artificial intelligence to ease their busy workloads. Studies have shown that up to 10% of doctors are now using ChatGPT, a large language model (LLM) made by OpenAI -- but just how accurate are its responses? WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)? A team of researchers from the University of Kansas Medical Center decided to find out.


AI-designed drug for inflammatory bowel disease enters human clinical trials: 'A significant need'

FOX News

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) impacts 1.6 million people in the U.S. -- and a new artificial intelligence-generated drug could help alleviate symptoms. Insilico Medicine, an AI-driven biotech company based in Hong Kong and in New York City, recently announced that its new AI-designed IBD drug -- ISM5411 -- has entered Phase I clinical trials. This is Insilico's fifth AI-designed drug to enter the pipeline. WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)? If approved, it would be the first medication to treat IBD by blocking prolyl hydroxylase domain (PHD), a protein that regulates the body's gut barrier protection genes, according to Alex Zhavoronkov, PhD, founder and CEO of Insilico Medicine.


Head of Google Bard believes AI can help improve communication and compassion: 'Really remarkable'

FOX News

Kurt "The CyberGuy" Knutsson explains new Google Maps features, powered by AI. Artificial intelligence is influencing nearly all aspects of life in 2023. From education to the workplace to creative endeavors, AI is making its mark on our everyday lives. Google Bard product lead Jack Krawczyk sat down with Fox News Digital for an interview in New York City recently to discuss how generative AI frontrunner Google Bard has developed to accommodate people's lifestyles. As just one example, Krawczyk mentioned that parents can use Google Bard to snap a photo of their craft drawer -- then ask the AI tool what kind of art can be made using the available supplies.


Military mental health is focus as AI training simulates real conversations to help prevent veteran suicide

FOX News

Fishing for the Mission 22 founder Harold Skelton told Fox News Digital how his organization uses a therapeutic approach through fishing to help veterans. If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255). Artificial intelligence is working to save the lives of America's heroes. A new product by ReflexAI called HomeTeam was just released this week, with the goal of preventing veteran suicide. Each day, 17 veterans die by suicide, according to the company, amid an ongoing mental health crisis across the country.


Diabetes screening may be as simple as speaking into smartphone with new AI app, researchers say

FOX News

Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel joins'Fox News Live' to discuss the growing popularity of a new class of weight loss drugs actually meant to treat diabetes and the potential side effects. Getting screened for type 2 diabetes could one day be as simple as speaking into your smartphone. Currently, gauging diabetes risk requires fasting, taking a blood test and waiting days for the results. In an effort to change that, researchers from Klick Applied Sciences in Toronto, Canada, have developed an artificial intelligence model that uses a 10-second voice recording to predict diabetes risk. The AI program was shown to predict the disease with 85% accuracy, according to a study published in the peer-reviewed journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings: Digital Health last month.


Breast cancer breakthrough: AI predicts a third of cases prior to diagnosis in mammography study

FOX News

Artificial intelligence could have the capability to pinpoint cancer diagnoses a lot sooner. A new study published in the journal Radiology last week noted that AI helped predict one-third of breast cancer cases up to two years prior to diagnosis. The research surveyed imaging data and screening information from BreastScreen Norway exams performed from January 2004 to December 2019. Women who were later diagnosed with breast cancer based on these exams were given an AI risk score by a "commercially available AI system," according to the study's findings. The scores were ranked 1-7 for low-risk malignancy, 8-9 for intermediate risk and 10 for high-risk malignancy.


Ask a doc: 25 burning questions about AI and health care answered by an expert

FOX News

Fox News contributor Dr. Marc Siegel weighs in on how artificial intelligence can change the patient-doctor relationship on'America's Newsroom.' As artificial intelligence continues to move into the health care arena -- showing up everywhere from ultrasound screenings to drug development to doctors' offices -- some patients may be uncertain, curious or concerned about how it will impact them or their medical care. Dr. Harvey Castro, an emergency medicine physician in Coppell, Texas, is also a consultant and speaker on AI and ChatGPT in health care. Castro shared with Fox News Digital some of the most common questions patients are asking about the use of AI in the medical field -- and provided his responses. WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?


As AI shows up in doctors' offices, most patients are giving permission as experts advise caution

FOX News

Chris Winfield, founder of Understanding A.I., tells'Fox & Friends Weekend' host Will Cain about a study showing patients preferred medical answers from artificial intelligence over doctors. Artificial intelligence has been used "behind the scenes" in health care for decades, but with the growing popularity of new technologies such as ChatGPT, it's now playing a bigger role in patient care -- including during routine doctor's visits. Physicians may rely on AI to record conversations, manage documentation and create personalized treatment plans. And that raises the question of whether they must get patients' permission first to use the technology during appointments. "While regulations may vary by jurisdiction, obtaining informed consent for using AI is often considered best practice and aligns with the principles of medical ethics," Dr. Harvey Castro, a Dallas, Texas-based board-certified emergency medicine physician and national speaker on artificial intelligence in health care, told Fox News Digital.
