The U.S. Food and Drug Administration released a list of “guiding principles” this week aimed at helping promote the safe and effective development of medical devices that use artificial intelligence and machine learning. The FDA, along with its UK and Canadian counterparts, said the principles are intended to lay the foundation for Good Machine […]
A University of Michigan lab focused on developing cutting-edge methods to inform effective interventions for drug abuse, HIV and other chronic conditions has been awarded a $13.2 million grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The Data Science for Dynamic Intervention Decision-Making Lab, or d3lab, at the Institute for Social Research’s Survey Research Center […]
An artificial intelligence (AI) program can spot signs of lung cancer on CT scans a year before they can be diagnosed with existing methods, according to research presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress. Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death with around 1.8 million lives lost around the world each […]
Researchers at the University of Birmingham have developed a new way to identify patients with heart failure who will benefit from treatment with beta-blockers. Their study involved 15,669 patients with heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (low function of the heart's main pumping chamber), 12,823 of which were in normal heart rhythm and […]
A new project will tap into the potential of Finnish SMEs to grow their businesses through identifying and implementing artificial intelligence (AI) based solutions. The AI Innovation Ecosystem for Competitiveness of SMEs (AI-TIE) project, coordinated by Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences, will focus on the health, social care, cleantech and wellbeing sectors. It aims to […]

That year, it had made 100,000 doses of product. It planned to launch its first vaccine around 2024. But when Chief Executive Officer Stéphane Bancel got the […]
If hospitals are to engage fully in harnessing the power of AI for clinicians in ways that could significantly enhance the efficiency and quality of healthcare provision, they will have to reassess the way they currently procure technology. GE Healthcare’s Edison Ecosystem approach, which embraces stakeholders and technology developers in a consumerised eCommerce model, could […]
A new model that applies artificial intelligence to carbohydrates improves the understanding of the infection process and could help predict which viruses are likely to spread from animals to humans. This is reported in a recent study led by researchers at the University of Gothenburg. Carbohydrates participate in nearly all biological processes – yet they […]
One of the most significant challenges to the advancement of precision medicine has been the lack of an infrastructure to support translational bioinformatics, supporting organizations as they work to uncover unique datasets to find novel associations and signals. By supporting greater interoperability and collaboration, data scientists, developers, clinicians and pharmaceutical partners have the opportunity to […]
Photo: Houston Methodist Hospital Dr. Zsolt Garami, medical director of the vascular ultrasound lab at Houston Methodist Hospital, puts it very straightforward: Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is one of the least understood, rarely utilized and potentially most valuable tools available for monitoring brain circulation. THE PROBLEM TCD was introduced by Aaslid in 1982. Thanks to the addition […]
