By combining experimental biology and automation with AI, Recursion hopes to improve the efficiency of discovering potential drugs for diverse indications, including genetic disease and infectious disease.

There is strong support for AI among the public, a new UK report notes, as long as the “human element” of healthcare remains intact and the public is kept apprised of key developments.

According to one tech stakeholder, understanding AI will be useful to doctors in the era of personalized medicine, when clinicians will be both prescribing medication and projecting the chances of success based on the patient’s genetic make-up.

The researchers’ long-term goal is to expand access to treatment services to people in emerging markets who currently cannot receive care from mental health professionals because of cost and human resource constraints.

According to a new survey, three-quarters of clinicians say they think artificial intelligence can facilitate improvements in workflow efficiency and quality assurance in pathology.

Healthcare systems around the world are under increasing pressure from aging populations, but AI tools are rapidly coming on-line to help.

The proliferation of healthcare IoT devices has exposed a vulnerable attack surface that can be exploited by cybercriminals determined to steal personally identifiable information and protected health information.

In addition to task-specific advantages, says an MIT AI expert, a digital world is one that is much lighter on the planet and has less impact, whether it's a digital book compared to a paper book, or videoconferencing compared to jet travel.

To address the global shortage of expert radiation oncologists, the contest designers challenged an international community of programmers to rapidly produce automated AI algorithms that could replicate expert manual lung tumor segmentations.
