FDA Approvals For Smart Algorithms In Medicine In One Giant Infographic
Mental health algorithms
mimicking empathy? A.I. outsmarting human doctors? Simple big data analytical
software presented with clever marketing tactics? It’s difficult to assess the
actual state of play when it comes to artificial intelligence in healthcare. Moreover,
there’s no database that contains all the smart algorithms worth applying to
medical processes. That’s the reason why we decided to collect every artificial
intelligence-based algorithm that already received FDA approval – meaning that
they are proven, reliable, and accurate solutions enabled by an official
regulator for medical use. Let’s see the i...

People ’s Sense Of Control Over Their Actions Is Reduced At A Fundamental Level When They’re Angry Or Afraid
The findings lend some scientific legitimacy to the “I just lost it” defence
By Matthew Warren
During major bouts of anger or fear, people can end up taking extreme and sometimes violent actions. But they often say that, in the moment, they didn’t feel responsible for those actions – they “lost control” or “saw red”. In the UK, under certain circumstances, a person accused of murder can even claim that this “loss of control” led to them killing their victim. If successful, this defence can reduce charges to manslaughter.
Now the first study of its kind suggests that there is some truth to these ...

MedPAC ’s Latest Bad Idea: Forcing Doctors to Join ACOs
By KIP SULLIVAN, JD
At its April 4, 2019 meeting, the staff of the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) asked the commission to discuss a very strange proposal: Doctors who treat patients enrolled in Medicare’s traditional fee-for-service (FFS) program must join an “accountable care organization” (ACO) or give up their FFS Medicare practice. (The staff may have meant to give hospitals the same Hobbesian choice, but that is not clear from the transcript of the meeting.) Here is how MedPAC staffer Eric Rollins laid out the proposal:
