Last week we had news about the first-ever gap-free human genome sequence being completed, a huge new step on a 20-year journey, adding about 200 megabases of genetic information—a full chromosome’s worth—to our knowledge. While that was certainly the most significant announcement, not the only one interesting. For example, the first autonomous X-ray-analysing AI is cleared in the EU and a robotic nurse is now capable of dressing a mannequin.
We also dived into the future ourselves, and dived into the hype topic of virtual wards to decide if there is indeed a trend, or just a fancy expression used everywhere.
Handling flexible objects, like a hospital gown, has been a challenge for robot designers. Now it looks like they have come to a breakthrough.
Based on this recent report, we summarised 10 tasks robots promise to be of huge assistance in the healthcare system.
While it is crucial to raise awareness of bias being present in smart algorithms, it is equally important to know about measures that can be undertaken to eliminate, rather than avoid, biases - as A. I. increasingly become an integral part of the healthcare landscape.
Here are four methods explained for de-biasing the algorithms.
I know what the Romans have done for us, but when it comes to artificial intelligence, what has healthcare benefited from using this advanced technology?
A.I. solutions can assist us in dozens of tasks in medicine, here I listed a few spectacular examples.
The tool (ChestLink) scans chest X-rays and automatically sends patient reports on those that it sees free of any abnormality.
"Any images that the tool flags as having a potential problem are sent to a radiologist for review. Most X-rays in primary care don’t have any problems, so automating the process for those scans could cut down on radiologists’ workloads."
Q1 is never the strongest quarter for investments, but it could still be a sign that the increbible digitalhealth investment bubble the pandemic has led to is over.
"In the first three months of this year there were 183 deals worth a total of $6 billion, giving an average size per deal of just under $33 million, according to venture fund Rock Health’s latest update on the sector."
The expression ‘virtual ward’ is trending. But is it just the expression we hear about more often, or is there a real trend? And by the way: what is a virtual ward? And what is it good for?
Virtual wards provide the same data real-time as would be available if patients were hospitalised, while they are healing safely in the comfort of their homes. We dived into the topic from defining the phenomenon to listing a number of existing and potential use cases.
