Covid-19: AI auto-scans lung X-rays

Coronavirus can be identified automatically from sick patients’ lung X-rays using artificial intelligence (AI) developed at Brunel University London. The algorithm, which detects coronavirus diseases including COVID-19, SARS and MERS, uses image analytics to spot signs and deep learning to rank them. Image processing techniques enhance the targeted lung X-rays and use an algorithm to […]

Artificial Intelligence can Analyse Myoclonus Severity from Video Footage

Fast, reliable and automatic assessment of the severity of myoclonic jerks from video footage is now possible, thanks to an algorithm using deep convolutional neural network architecture and pretrained models that identify and track keypoints in the human body. Published in Seizure, the study is a joint effort by the Epilepsy Centre at Kuopio University […]

AI reveals new breast cancer types that respond differently to treatment

Revelations could personalise treatment, including picking out those likely to benefit from immunotherapy Scientists have used artificial intelligence to recognise patterns in breast cancer – and uncovered five new types of the disease, each matched to different personalised treatments. Their study applied AI and machine learning to gene sequences and molecular data from breast tumours, […]

Artificial intelligence can Predict Premature Death

AI

Computers which are capable of teaching themselves to predict premature death could greatly improve preventative healthcare in the future, suggests a new study by experts at the University of Nottingham. The team of healthcare data scientists and doctors have developed and tested a system of computer-based ‘machine learning’ algorithms to predict the risk of early […]

AI can predict survival of ovarian cancer patients

Researchers have created new machine learning software that can forecast the survival rates and response to treatments of patients with ovarian cancer. The artificial intelligence software, created by researchers at Imperial College London and the University of Melbourne, has been able to predict the prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer more accurately than current methods. […]

AI to help find new heart drugs

World Heart Day

Researchers at Imperial are partnering with Bayer Pharmaceuticals to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can accelerate the discovery of new drugs for heart conditions. An estimated seven million people are living with heart and circulatory disease in the UK alone, with cardiovascular diseases responsible for one in four deaths. Identifying and treating patients at an […]

AI system for treating sepsis

Scientists have created an artificial intelligence system that could help treat patients with sepsis. The technology, developed by researchers from Imperial College London, was found to predict the best treatment strategy for patients. The system ‘learnt’ the best treatment strategy for a patient by analysing the records of about 100,000 hospital patients in intensive care units and […]
