Ultrahigh-Resolution Photon-counting CT Useful Prior to Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Assessment of coronary anatomy prior to Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement has great prognostic significance. Invasive coronary angiography is done prior to TAVR though CT coronary angiography has a role in ruling out coronary artery disease in those with low or intermediate pretest probabilities. Accurate interpretation of coronary arteries in those planned for TAVR has challenges because of high occurrence of abnormal heart rhythm, contraindications for beta blockers and nitroglycerine administraton.
Still important is the blooming artifacts on CT coronary angiography in those with coronary stents or severe calcific...

Tytocare ’s AI-Powered Wheeze Detection Impresses with Thoughtful Design
Earlier this year, Tytocare received FDA approval for its AI-based solution that analyzes lung sounds captured via its handheld home care device. The thoughtful way that the AI was incorporated into the overall design of the solution is impressive. The AI blends seamlessly into the background and feels like a natural addition to the workflow. Exactly the way technology ideally is supposed to work in healthcare.
AI as co-pilot, Clinician as pilot
Tyto Insights for Wheeze Detection, looks for specific lung sounds in the lung recordings that may suggest wheezing. Wheezing is an indicator that there may be a respiratory issue ...

Wearable Ultrasound for Deep Tissue Monitoring
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have created a wearable ultrasound system that can monitor deep tissues, as far as 16.5 cm (6.5 inches) below the surface of the body. Moreover, the team employed a machine learning algorithm to reduce the noise associated with movement, helping to obtain reliable readings while the wearer goes about their day. The system learns to do this individually for each wearer. The deep tissue functionality and twelve hour battery life mean that the wearable is suitable to monitor a variety of useful physiological parameters, including cardiac output, blood pressure, and heart r...

What Is Medical Coding Automation And Its Potentials In Healthcare?
When it comes to the term ‘coding’, what comes to mind is probably programmers writing software. While this applies to the medical setting in the digital health age, traditionally, medical coding has referred to a specific process. It involves the conversion of medical records, generally from clinician’s texts, into structured codes based on a classification system for the appropriate patient diagnosis and relevant procedure.
The result is clinical information that is consistent and comparable over time and across healthcare departments. Such data can subsequently be used to inform relevant research, policies and,...
