Nearly half of all adults in the U.S. have high blood pressure. “High blood pressure (also called hypertension) puts you at risk of many life-threatening problems,” says Rachel Goodman, MD, Chief Cardiology Fellow at Tufts […]

From pacemakers to patient portals, modern health care systems are increasingly reliant on connected technologies. However, innovation can make health care systems vulnerable to sophisticated cyberattacks, threatening not only data, but patient lives.This post was […]

Researchers have created an artificial intelligence model that can identify which mutations in human proteins are most likely to cause disease, even when those mutations have never been seen before in any person.This post was […]

An emerging artificial intelligence-powered system developed at Penn Medicine has tripled the speed of fax processing and cut a full week off the new patient intake process—freeing up thousands of staff hours. The system, called […]

As artificial intelligence’s role in health care rapidly expands, a comprehensive new report co-authored by UCLA Health states that the same technology that can help doctors detect strokes or seizures could also worsen health disparities […]

Medical reports written in technical terminology can pose challenges for patients. A team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has investigated how artificial intelligence can make CT findings easier to understand. In the study, […]

While artificial intelligence technology is increasingly being used—formally and informally—to support medical diagnoses, its utility in emergency medical settings remains an open question. Can AI support doctors in situations where split-second decision making can mean […]

Researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have unveiled a transformative approach to understanding and treating social anxiety, challenging decades of laboratory-based assumptions and opening doors to targeted therapies.This post was originally published on […]

A multi-institutional research team has demonstrated how AI and machine learning can optimize therapy selection and dosing for septic shock, a life-threatening complication that is the leading cause of hospital deaths.This post was originally published […]
