Skin cancer diagnosis: Performance of AI explored

AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already being used to diagnose skin cancer, but it cannot (yet) keep pace with the complex decision-making of doctors in practice. An international research team led by Harald Kittler of MedUni Vienna has now explored a learning method in which greater accuracy in AI results can be achieved by incorporating human […]

Dementia diagnosis could be fast-tracked with AI

dementia diagnosis

Dementia diagnosis could be fast-tracked using artificial intelligence: Different forms of dementia could be spotted sooner and more easily by analysing recordings of patients’ electrical brain activity using artificial intelligence (AI), according to new research. Scientists from the University of Surrey and the University of Newcastle have shown that it is possible to use electroencephalography […]

Ground-breaking clinical studies show the future of post-operative care and rapid discharge

clinical

Three clinical studies have concluded that a new and ground-breaking monitoring system using artificial intelligence and wireless technology to monitor patients can identify clinical deterioration earlier than currently used “manual and simplistic” methods. Researchers from the WARD project (Wireless Assessment of Respiratory and circulatory Distress) at Rigshospitalet, Bispebjerg Hospital and the Technical University of Denmark, […]

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 […]
