Earlier this month, the newly spun-off GE HealthCare revealed its second planned acquisition as an independent company. It signed an agreement to acquire Caption Health, which developed AI-enabled guidance software for ultrasound imaging.
Karley Yoder, general manager and chief digital officer for ultrasound at GE HealthCare, said the guidance software allows more clinicians to confidently use...
This week Israel-based AION Labs, an AI-enabled drug discovery partnership between global pharma and tech companies like AstraZeneca, Merck, Pfizer, Teva, Israel Biotech Fund and Amazon Web Services, announced the formation of a new startup company dubbed OMEC.AI.
OMEC.AI aims to build a computational platform using AI that can help researchers assess the clinical trial readiness of a drug...
Artificial intelligence deep learning models can be trained to predict self-reported race from imaging results, raising concerns about worsening health disparities, according to a study published in The Lancet Digital Health.
Researchers found models could detect race from different types of chest imaging results, including X-rays, CT scans and mammograms. The ability couldn't be traced back to...
An artificial intelligence algorithm used to detect hip fractures outperformed human radiologists, but researchers found mistakes that would prevent safe use upon further testing, according to a study published in The Lancet.
Researchers evaluated a deep learning model that aimed to find proximal femoral fractures in frontal X-rays in emergency department patients, which was trained on data from...
Radiology artificial intelligence company Aidoc scored FDA 510(k) clearance for its tool for flagging and triaging cases of pneumothorax, or a collapsed lung, on X-rays.
Aidoc said the software could run on all X-rays, including portable machines, and automatically notes positive cases of pneumothorax so physicians can focus on these images more quickly.
Some of Aidoc's other FDA-cleared tools...
ORLANDO, Fla. – As artificial intelligence moves into more spaces in healthcare, organizations need to take action to ensure their algorithms aren't creating more bias, adding to significant health inequities.
It can be a daunting task. One way to start is to ensure people from under-represented backgrounds are at the table from the start, said Carolyn Sun, assistant professor at Hunter College...
Radiology startup Sirona Medical is acquiring the AI capabilities and some personnel from fellow radiology-focused company Nines.
The deal includes Nines' clinical data pipeline, machine learning engines, AI-enabled workflow management and analytics tools, but not the company's teleradiology business. Some personnel will also be moving to Sirona, including chief revenue officer Maureen Bradford....
Artificial intelligence is being used across the healthcare industry with the goal of delivering care more efficiently and improving outcomes for patients. But if health systems and vendors aren't careful, AI has the potential to support biased decision-making and make equities even worse.
"Algorithmic bias really is the application of an algorithm that compounds existing inequity," Sarah Awan,...
