The 8 Most Reassuring Examples of Using A.I. In Healthcare
Artificial intelligence, probably the most powerful technology trend today, will transform healthcare. In some areas, it has already arrived, extending the diagnostic capabilities of radiologists or dermatologists, supporting triage decisions in emergency units, looking for promising new drug candidates or allowing locked-in patients to communicate with others.
But this is just the beginning. A cultural and technological revolution is just around the corner. What will it bring? How will it reshape the art of medicine? This is the topic of our most popular e-book, A Guide To Artificial Intelligence In Healthcare. The...

How my sister ’ s death changed everything
It was fall. Sun-slanted rays filtered into the church from a cold November sky, creating a false sense of warmth. My nephew Dru stood before family and friends who were gathered to remember his mother. He began by telling how, in-between trips to the emergency room, oncologist, radiologist, and myriad other health care providers, he

Explorations in French Health Care! (Or what I did on my vacation!)
By MATTHEW HOLT
This is a personal story about this blog’s publisher (me!) but it has just enough health care stuff to keep it relevant!
This year I finally got invited on the annual mountain bike ride run by my friend JB and his ex Taiwan/Hong Kong buddies. I’ve actually been practicing and training most of the summer and arrived pretty confident even though I knew it would be tough. This edition is in Provence in France.
Before it all went wrong
And then…..2 hours in on the first day it turns out I was too confident…
Back in 2002 I smashed my knee snowboarding into a tree. When I tol...

Soft Robot Grows Like a Plant to Travel Through Tight Spaces
At the University of Minnesota, researchers have developed a soft robotic system that can ‘grow’ like a plant. The mechanism allows it to travel through difficult-to-access areas, such as the tortuous gastrointestinal tract or vasculature. The system works by extruding a liquid through an opening in the device, and at the same time a photopolymerization process results in the rapid solidification of the liquid into a solid structure. The device illuminates the extruded liquid monomers, triggering the photopolymerization. This process mimics the way plants incrementally add material to their growing tips and root tips. ...

5 Trends That Will Determine The Hospital From The Future
For centuries, scientists have been trying to envision the future of hospitals. Following the recent shift towards digital health technologies and the adoption of remote care approaches, in part precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is only natural for one to wonder how these developments will impact those healthcare institutions. What can we expect from them in the future? Or will there be hospitals altogether in a decade’s time?
The short answer is yes, physical institutions will still be part of the future of healthcare. However, their roles will be significantly different from what they currently are. They wil...

3 Reasons Why Patient Design Must Replace The Patient-Centricity Illusion
What is the difference between patient design and patient centricity? Why is the former a concept we need to embrace in the future of medicine, and why is it time to forget about the latter? These are the questions we examined in our latest paper published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, authored by The Medical Futurist Dr Bertalan Mesko and patient scholar Dave deBronkart – widely known as ePatient Dave.
Patient centricity has been the buzzword of the past two decades, especially often used in the 2010s, from pharma companies to healthcare providers, it was loudly advertised everywhere. As nice...

Practical Application of AI Research with NYU
AI in healthcare has become a huge topic of interest, but what does the practical application of AI look like? At the Ai4 Conference, we sat down with Vincent J. Major, PhD, Assistant Professor in the Department of Population Health and Lead in Operational Machine Learning EHR Integration at NYU Lagone Health to learn more about him and his work with AI in healthcare.
Recently, Major and his team have been working on replacing a 13 point scale system created by nurses to rank the level of care each patient needs. Their new AI solution switches this over to a color coded system that takes into consideration the nurses as we...

The Future of Radiology And Artificial Intelligence
What if an algorithm could tell you whether you have cancer based on your CT scan or mammography exam? While I am confident that radiologists’ creative work will be necessary in the future to solve complex issues and supervise diagnostic processes, A.I. will definitely become part of their daily routine in diagnosing simpler cases and taking over repetitive tasks. So rather than getting threatened by it, we should familiarise ourselves with how it could help change the course of radiology for the better.
Radiologists who use A.I. will replace those who don’t
There is a lot of hype and plenty of fear around ar...

This study adds to the evidence showing that expanded access to these services could have a longer-term positive impact if continued.”Roughly 1 in 8 beneficiaries in the pandemic group received OUD-related telehealth services compared with 1 in 800 in the prepandemic group, the research revealed. Access to telehealth services was associated with better treatment retention and lower risk of medically treated overdose in the pandemic group compared to those not receiving telehealth services.-----https://healthimaging.com/topics/management/education-training/ai-deterring-students-pursuing-radiologyConcerns about the future ...
