Turning medical data into actionable knowledge

MIT Technology Review

PACS remains an indispensable tool for viewing and interpreting imaging results, but leading health care providers are now beginning to move beyond PACS. The new paradigm brings data from multiple medical specialties together into a single platform, with a single user interface that strives to provide a holistic understanding of the patient and facilitate clinical reporting. By connecting data from multiple specialties and enabling secure and efficient access to relevant patient data, advanced information technology platforms can enhance patient care, simplify workflows for clinicians, and reduce costs for health care organizations. This organizes data around patients, rather than clinical departments. Health care providers generate an enormous volume of data.


New AI-generated COVID drug enters Phase I clinical trials: 'Effective against all variants'

FOX News

PsychoGenics CEO Emer Leahy of Paramus, New Jersey, explains how the first potential AI-discovered treatment for schizophrenia was developed through machine learning. Fox News Digital spoke with her. Artificial intelligence is increasingly moving into the health care arena and helping to streamline medical processes -- including the creation of new drugs. Insilico Medicine, an AI-driven biotech company based in Hong Kong and in New York City, recently announced that its new AI-designed drug for COVID-19 has entered Phase I clinical trials. This oral drug is a treatment, not a vaccine.


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)?


Be well: Prevent dangerous falls among older adults by taking key steps

FOX News

As more doctors and nurses leave the profession, providers are turning to AI technology to help bridge the coverage gap, especially among older Americans. More than one out of four older people experience a fall each year -- and three million of them are treated in the emergency room for their injuries, according to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Dangerous falls can be prevented by following safety protocols. Christynne Helfrich, PT, a physical therapist commercial consultant for Hinge Health in Illinois, shared some expert tips with Fox News Digital. Going for daily walks or engaging in other low-impact physical activities can help to strengthen muscles, keep joints flexible and maintain overall endurance, Helfrich said.


'Heart wrenching': AI expert details dangers of deepfakes and tools to detect manipulated content

FOX News

Criminals are taking advantage of AI technology to conduct misinformation campaigns, commit fraud and obstruct justice through deepfake audio and video. While some uses of deepfakes are lighthearted like the pope donning a white Balenciaga puffer jacket or an AI-generated song using vocals from Drake and The Weeknd, they can also sow doubt about the authenticity of legitimate audio and videos. Criminals are taking advantage of the technology to conduct misinformation campaigns, commit fraud and obstruct justice. As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance, so does the proliferation of fake content that experts warn could pose a serious threat to various aspects of everyday life if proper controls aren't put in place. AI-manipulated images, videos and audio known as "deepfakes" are often used to create convincing but false representations of people and events.


ChatGPT for health care providers: Can the AI chatbot make the professionals' jobs easier?

FOX News

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that he was "a little bit scared" of ChatGPT and admitted that his technology would likely destroy "a lot of current jobs." In addition to writing articles, songs and code in mere seconds, ChatGPT could potentially make its way into your doctor's office -- if it hasn't already. The artificial intelligence-based chatbot, released by OpenAI in December 2022, is a natural language processing (NLP) model that draws on information from the web to produce answers in a clear, conversational format. While it's not intended to be a source of personalized medical advice, patients are able to use ChatGPT to get information on diseases, medications and other health topics. Some experts even believe the technology could help physicians provide more efficient and thorough patient care.


Preparing for the World of Generative AI - Mayo Clinic Platform

#artificialintelligence

ChatGPT and similar systems will increasingly be part of our lives, including health care. We need guidelines to ensure their ethical deployment. Generative AI systems like ChatGPT, a chatbot based on a generative pre-trained transformer, have captured the public's attention, resulting in a flurry of positive and negative speculation about their potential. They have even found their way into popular comic strips. In one Dilbert strip, for instance, the boss asks Wally if his status report was written by a commercial grade AI.

Why is AI adoption in health care lagging?

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have improved rapidly over the past decade,1 largely driven by advances in machine learning, which is closely related to data science and statistical prediction.2 Several aspects of the health care system involve prediction, including diagnosis, treatment, administration, and operations. This connection between machine learning's capabilities and needs of the health care system has led to widespread speculation that AI will have a large impact on health care. For instance, Eric Topol's "Deep Medicine: How Artificial Intelligence can make Health Care Human Again," highlights AI's potential to improve the lives of doctors and patients. The progress and promise of clinical AI algorithms range from image-based diagnosis in radiology and dermatology to surgery, and from patient monitoring to genome interpretation and drug discovery.
