Applying a deep learning approach to echocardiography could save clinicians time while improving diagnostic accuracy, one Georgia-based cardiologist reported at the American College of Cardiology’s annual meeting in Orlando, this year. Randolph P. Martin, MD, said machine learning—and its self-training subset, deep learning—is often perceived as a threat to cardiologists, but the tools could aid […]
So much of a physician’s workload includes repetitive, tedious tasks involved in researching diagnoses and analyzing patient data and imaging. On top of increasingly demanding administrative and regulatory burdens and electronic health records (EHR) hassles, it’s no wonder physicians are burning out in record numbers. Experts in artificial intelligence (AI)—a form of machine learning in […]
A group of Japanese computer scientists has developed a new AI system that can visualize human thoughts. The technology can “see” the human thought or convert them into pictures. It’s always frightening to know that another person can read your thoughts. Imagine the case where technology can see what you are thinking! How It Works – […]
True to form, artificial intelligence continues to equal and even surpass doctors in the prediction and diagnosis of condition after condition. Most of this work, however, has occurred in carefully controlled laboratory experiments, with clean databases and images acquired and reviewed by experts. Now, companies are making a concerted push to bring AI into real healthcare […]
Though its time horizon can’t be predicted, artificial intelligence (AI) promises to foundationally influence modern society, for better or worse. A sub-genre of AI — machine learning — has garnered particular attention from the pundits for its potential impact on the world’s most important industries. Due to the resulting hype, massive amounts of talent and resources are entering […]
Artificial intelligence has become one of the key weapons in the fight against cancer and the many forms and mutations that it takes, and today a startup is coming out of stealth and announcing funding and a significant data deal as it seeks to build an AI system specifically to help understand one aspect of […]
AI is surfacing in healthcare in three primary areas: medical imaging, electronic health records (EHRs) and genomics, in the view of Miriam Huntley, Ph.D and CTO and Day Zero Diagnostics, speaking at a panel on the State of AI in Medicine at the recent AI World Conference in Boston. The progress in medical imaging is […]
Artificial intelligence in healthcare is at the end of the beginning: It’s been researched, introduced, proven to work, and it’s been put to use in real clinical settings. But adoption is slow. Healthcare has only explored the tip of the iceberg and, of course, there is much work ahead to improve patient care. AI in […]
