AI in Healthcare and Life Sciences: Further Adoption Requires Better Data Infrastructure
The following is a guest article by Jon Kimerle, Global Strategic Healthcare Alliances at Pure Storage
The digital transformation of healthcare continues to accelerate, and technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) are predicted to have an increasing impact on efficiency, quality, and scalability of health outcomes.
At present, AI is already driving high-quality, predictive patient care and better outcomes by making connections humans can’t, adding context, and unearthing new insights. The data generated by AI can facilitate early disease detection, personalized medications and care, the prevention of diagnostic...

Seven Reasons To Be Optimistic About The Future Of AI In Medicine
Everywhere we look, there seems to be an air of pessimism surrounding AI, despite the fact that we have actually not made significant advancements in AI development recently. The only difference is that during the past few months, due to ChatGPT, the topic has greatly entered the spotlight.
Figures like Tristan Harris spread fear, Harari claims that this is even worse than nuclear war, major tech companies and moguls call for a six-month moratorium on the development of large language models (though it’s clear that nations such as China won’t halt their progress), countries ban it, and Silicon Valley has spl...

Implanted Ultrasound Lets Chemo Access Brain
Researchers at Northwestern University have trailed an implanted ultrasound device in patients, which is used in combination with microbubbles to transiently open pores in the blood brain barrier, allowing chemo drugs to enter. We have reported on this technique before as a lab-based concept (see flashbacks below), but this is the first time that it has actually been trialed in human patients, in this case patients with glioblastoma, a difficult to treat brain cancer. The approach successfully led to a four- to six-fold increase in chemo concentrations in the brain, using drugs that are not otherwise able to cross the bloo...

Wearable Ultrasound Measures Tissue Stiffness Under Skin
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a wearable ultrasound patch that is intended to provide information on the stiffness of underlying tissues as deep as 4 cm below the surface of the skin. The patch consists of a flexible 16 x 16 ultrasonic array with a silver-epoxy composite backing layer that is designed to absorb excessive vibrations. It can provide tissue stiffness data, which could be useful in a wide array of medical scenarios, including monitoring liver cirrhosis, cancer progression, sports injuries, and myocardial ischemia. The technology is part of a new wave of wearable ultrasoun...

Brain Decoder Spells Out Thoughts
Researcher scientists at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a brain decoding technology that combines an fMRI scanner and artificial intelligence, similar to well-known AI systems such ChatGPT or Bard. The technology can spell out our thoughts in text form, but more importantly may allow patients who cannot otherwise communicate, such as those experiencing significant paralysis, to communicate their thoughts. Unlike other attempts to achieve this, the technique is completely non-invasive and does not require surgical implants. The technique involves training the AI system, which occurs when a participant spen...

We are Still Learning the Lesson Charles Babbage Taught Us in 1821
Back in 1821 when Charles Babbage introduced the world to his Difference Engine, one of the world’s first mechanical computers, he taught us that bad input = bad output. This is a lesson we are still learning today in healthcare. As we leap into the world of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and large language models, we would do well to remember this lesson before relying too heavily on the output of these fantastical technologies.

RF Technology for Health Monitoring: Michael Leabman, CTO of Movano Health
RF (radio frequency) technology uses radio waves to transmit and receive information wirelessly. RF is often seen in health monitoring devices such as wearables, implants, remote monitoring systems, and telemedicine. Mostly, though, it is used for communications, but the folks at Movano Health believe that they can use RF to monitor things like blood pressure and blood glucose.
We had a chat with Michael Leabman, CTO of Movano Health, to learn more about the company’s technology. Mr. Leabman has over 20 years of expertise in the field, with multiple related patents. His experience with RF started in the military a...
