Deep learning can help diagnose skin cancer with high accuracy even when it has only low-tech dermoscopic images to work with, according to research conducted in Israel and published in The Lancet’s online journal eBioMedicine.

An AI algorithm created by Google can predict lung cancer with high accuracy and improve the survival chances of those with the cancer through earlier diagnosis, according to a recent study. The findings were published in Nature Medicine on May 20.

People who struggle to get a good night’s sleep and seek medical help for the problem are producing mega data on things like eye movement, breathing, brain activity and restless legs. Which is to say sleep medicine is as ripe as any field in healthcare for help from AI.

Contrary to common understanding, sepsis is not a one-size-afflicts-all condition. It’s a set of many, and each can be placed into one of four key subcategories—i.e., phenotypes—such that, going forward, stricken patients could receive tailored treatments.

A natural language processing algorithm has achieved 90% precision in automatically spotting signs of social isolation in cancer patients by “reading” clinical notes in a hospital’s electronic health record.

As healthcare operators continually rely on medical devices in workflows, unsupported devices are likely to become more vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Academic and popular writings on the use of “embodied” AI in mental healthcare are piling up fast. But where’s the guidance for psychiatrists, psychotherapists and clinical social workers looking to use robots, avatars and chatbots with real patients?

Instead of Googling symptoms to when feeling an ailment and landing on an incorrect diagnosis, AI could soon provide accurate diagnosis without needing to go to a doctor’s office.
