Scientists from Cambridge University and University College London report they have trained an artificial intelligence (AI) model to examine DNA methylation patterns that has identified 13 different types of cancer with 98.2% accuracy. Their work, published in Biology Methods & Protocols, demonstrate that is may soon be possible to deploy…

Samira Abbasgholizadeh-Rahimi, PhD Helen Albert chats with Samira Abbasgholizadeh-Rahimi, PhD, a researcher based at McGill University and the Mila-Quebec AI Institute. Over the last few years there has been increasing hype and publicity about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in many walks of life. In…

By Pranali Pachika, Srijan Valasapalli, Phuong Ngo, and Goetz Kloecker “Artificial intelligence” (AI) is the study and production of computing methods and models that replicate human intelligence in perception, speech recognition, decision making, and language processing.1 AI is utilized in oncology to improve cancer diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient outcomes by analyzing massive volumes of data from…

William A. Haseltine, PhD Artificial intelligence (AI) has quickly become one of the most promising new tools in healthcare. Not only has it been used to improve individual health outcomes by streamlining diagnosis and treatment, but recent studies have begun to explore its ability to improve…

A U.K. study has shown that prostate cancer can be classified into two distinct prostate cancer subtypes according to how gene mutations evolve within the tumors, with one type linked to more aggressive disease than the other. The discovery was made by an international team, led by the University of…

Research led by The University of British Columbia shows that it is possible to diagnose long QT syndrome, an inherited heart disorder, using a combination of electrocardiography (ECG) data and artificial intelligence (AI). As reported in JAMA Cardiology, the researchers used a deep-learning based neural network to accurately diagnose long…

In December 2023, the European Commission came to a historic agreement to create an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act to regulate the technology and to protect users’ health, safety, and rights across its 27 member countries. The act is currently in the provisional phase and is expected to become law in…

William Haseltine In today’s world, artificial intelligence (AI) is playing a crucial role in revolutionizing various industries, including healthcare. A recent study revealed that AI can perform medical interviews and provide diagnoses based on a patient’s medical history, potentially transforming the healthcare industry. This development can…

Described simply, artificial intelligence (AI) is a field that combines computer science and robust data sets, to enable problem-solving. The umbrella term encompasses the subfields of machine learning and the more recently developed deep learning, which itself is a subfield of machine learning. Both use AI algorithms to create expert…

An artificial intelligence (AI) tool developed at the University of Pennsylvania can help doctors predict the cancer risk in lung nodules seen on CT, according to a new study published in the journal Radiology. Pulmonary nodules appear as small spots on the lungs on chest imaging. They have become a much…

By Kevin Thomas Kevin Thomas, PhDDirector of Artificial IntelligenceClario. Inside Precision Medicine’s inaugural issue focused on artificial intelligence (AI)—namely, how it can help solve the population health crisis and predict early warning signs of chronic disease. The healthcare industry is booming with AI-enabled solutions, from faster,…

Harry Glorikian Author of the 2017 book MoneyBall Medicine and host of his successful eponymous podcast series, (which is globally ranked in the top 3% according to Listen Notes), Harry Glorikian, a seasoned life science executive and investor took some time out to talk to Damian…

Between 1980 and 2014, the number of people living with diabetes1 quadrupled. In 2020, 10.5% of all Americans had diabetes2, of which 95% was Type 2, although disease incidence is increasing more in low- and middle-income countries. Diabetes is now an epidemic. While early detection and newer treatments significantly improve…

Last year, there were 1.8 million deaths from lung cancer worldwide according to estimates from the World Health Organization. Despite a decrease in the number of people smoking and advances in early detection and treatment new cases of lung cancer continue to rise and is the leading cause of cancer…

Research using artificial intelligence shows that some bowel cancer patients benefit more from treatment with the monoclonal antibody panitumumab than others based on the levels of certain proteins in their systems. The research project, which was a collaboration between the University of Leeds in the UK and the international big…
