Sora And Healthcare: Revolutionising Healthcare With AI Video Generation
“Historical footage of California during the gold rush.” From this simple prompt, OpenAI’s new text-to-video model Sora could generate a 25-second footage of what one could at a glance indeed think is real footage from that era. While such abilities of the company’s new artificial intelligence model were demonstrated in videos, Sora is not currently publicly available.
Nevertheless, its potential to create videos from simple text is bound to have consequences for the film and advertising industries. This has also led us to contemplate its possible medical and healthcare implications when it will be publicly avai...

Four Steps to Success in Implementing AI Within Healthcare Organizations
The following is a guest article by Ben Cushing, Chief Architect of Health and Life Sciences at Red Hat
Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing up in more healthcare contexts, from drug discovery to diagnostic imaging to robot-assisted surgery. But one area where AI can have a tremendous impact is in the reduction of provider burden.
For instance, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is exploring automated, AI-assisted documentation of patient visits with clinicians. The system records the conversation between clinician and patient, and then automatically produces a clinical note.
The AI system can apply accurate medic...

Wound Care Education for Medical Doctors: Filling the Gap
Whenever I ask a group of doctors, “How many of you have had any training in care and treatment of chronic wounds?” it is the rare person who raises their hand. Despite the urgent need for medical doctors to know how to assess and treat pressure injuries and chronic wounds, there is no formal medical or surgical specialty in wound care. This has resulted in a gap in education, training, and research, with extensive variation in clinical practice. The medical education establishment has simply not caught up to the realities of care for the chronically ill patient. Filling the education gap in wound care is one of my pro...

Reviewing the Path Towards Reprogramming as a Basis for Rejuvenation Therapies
In conclusion, while partial reprogramming holds great therapeutic potential, the real focus should be on rejuvenation research, defining its nature and ways to quantify it. Another critical issue is the ability to quantify biological age as reprogrammed older cells acquire younger states. Understanding rejuvenation is also key to translational success, as benefits of age reversal must be considered against risks. More research into safety and tissue-specific responses of this technique are required. (Source: Fight Aging!)

Using ChatGPT Offline: How Small Language Models Can Aid Healthcare Professionals
By now, you might have come across the term large language models (LLMs), which is a type of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). If not, you have likely encountered GenAI applications that are based on LLMs. This includes the likes of ChatGPT, Google Bard and Microsoft Copilot. While such models have proved useful, in the healthcare setting, they come with new sets of regulatory, ethical and privacy concerns.
Recently, another type of language model has been gaining attention in the GenAI field: the small language model (SLM). It even holds the promise of addressing some of the challenges with integrating LLMs i...
