Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by improving disease detection and diagnosis, enhancing healthcare systems, and benefiting health care providers, but it also presents challenges that must be addressed, such as developing robust and reliable AI models and ensuring ethical and responsible use.
Computer-assisted colonoscopy driven by artificial intelligence (AI) may increase detection of small polyps, but not colorectal neoplasias or advanced adenomas, according to two new reports.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to greatly improve health care globally by expanding access to health services, according to Google's chief health officer, Karen DeSalvo. Through initiatives such as using AI to monitor search queries for potential self-harm, as well as developing low-cost ultrasound devices and automated screening for tuberculosis, AI can address health-care access gaps and improve patient outcomes.
Microsoft is partnering with digital pathology provider Paige to develop the world's largest image-based AI model for identifying cancer, which can identify both common and rare cancers and aims to assist doctors in dealing with staffing shortages and growing caseloads. Paige has received FDA approval for its AI viewing tool FullFocus, and with Microsoft's help, it has built an advanced AI model that is training on 4 million slides, making it the largest computer vision model publicly announced. The model aims to improve accuracy and efficiency in pathology and democratize access to healthcare.
Researchers at OSF HealthCare in Illinois have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that predicts a patient's risk of death within five to 90 days after admission to the hospital, with the aim of facilitating important end-of-life discussions between clinicians and patients. The AI model, tested on a dataset of over 75,000 patients, showed that those identified as more likely to die during their hospital stay had a mortality rate three times higher than the average. The model provides clinicians with a probability and an explanation of the patient's increased risk of death, prompting crucial conversations about end-of-life care.
