Lung cancer accounts for more than 20% of cancer deaths in the UK A new UK study has revealed the potential of using artificial intelligence (AI) to help doctors diagnose lung cancer earlier. LIBRA, which was led by researchers from the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, the Institute of Cancer Research, London, and Imperial College London, used data from the CT scans of nearly 500 patients with large lung nodules – abnormal growths – to develop an AI model. The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, the National Institute for Health and Care Research, RM Partners and Cancer Research UK also supported the study. To assess how effective the new model was at predicting cancer, the team used a measure called the area under the curve (AUC). An AUC of one would indicate a perfect model, while 0.5 would be expected if the model was randomly guessing. The results, which have ...
By Neha Mathur In a recent study published in JAMA Internal Medicine, researchers evaluated the ability of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence-based chatbot assistant, to respond to patient questions posted on a publically accessible social media forum. Background Owing to the quick expansion of digital health care, more and more patients have begun to raise queries on social media forums. Answering these questions is not just time-consuming but tedious for healthcare professionals. AI assistants, like ChatGPT, could help address this additional work and help draft quality responses, which later clinicians could review. About the study In the present cross-sectional study, researchers randomly drew 195 exchanges in response to a patient question asked over Reddit’s r/AskDocs, a publically accessible social media forum, in October 2022. Then, a team of licensed healthcare professionals generated a new chatbot session using the original full text of the question to which a physician responded and then evaluated the ...
ChatGPT can be a useful tool for patients who are seeking medical information and guidance, but the artificial intelligence tool can’t fully replace the value of a human physician – it says so itself. “While I am a language model that has been trained on a vast amount of information, I am not a licensed medical professional and I am not capable of providing medical diagnoses, treatments, or advice,” the chatbot wrote in response to a question from CNN. Still, new research published this week suggests that physicians may have some things to learn from the chatbot when it comes to patient communication. A panel of licensed health care professionals assessed responses to about 200 different medical questions posed to a public online forum, including patient inquiries about medical diagnoses, need for medical attention and more. Responses from ChatGPT were “preferred over physician responses and rated ...
Digital technology company BullFrog AI and Sage Group have entered into a strategic partnership to develop oncology assets. This partnership will focus on exploring joint venture (JV) opportunities for advancing a Phase II ready asset and the preclinical prodrug asset of BullFrog AI. The Phase II ready asset targets glioblastoma, which is an aggressive form of brain cancer. Through the collaboration, BullFrog AI will gain access to Sage Group’s capital resources, clinical and regulatory expertise, as well as contacts network, including innovators and large pharma. BullFrog AI founder and CEO Vin Singh said: “Glioblastoma is one of the deadliest forms of cancer, with a five-year survival rate of less than seven percent. “With the Sage Group’s support, we look forward to identifying the right partner to help us advance clinical development of our oncology programs globally in an effort to bring a revolutionary new treatment option to glioblastoma patients.” Recently, ...
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a stringent, nearly impenetrable layer of cells that guards the brain, protecting the vital organ from hazards in the bloodstream such as toxins or bacteria and allowing only a very limited set of small molecules, such as nutrients, to pass through. This layer of protection, however, makes it difficult for researchers to study the brain and to design drugs that can treat brain disorders. Now, a new study from Caltech has identified a previously unknown mechanism by which certain viral vectors—protein shells engineered to carry various desired cargo—can cross through the BBB. This mechanistic insight may provide a new approach to designing viral vectors for research and therapeutic applications. Understanding this and other new mechanisms could also give insight into how the brain’s defenses may be exploited by emergent pathogens, enabling researchers to prepare methods to block them. The research was conducted in the laboratory of ...
A stop-smoking mobile app that senses where and when you might be triggered to light up could help you quit, according to University of East Anglia research. Quit Sense is the world’s first Artificial Intelligence (AI) stop smoking app that detects when people are entering a location where they used to smoke. It then provides support to help manage people’s specific smoking triggers in that location. A study published today shows how the new app helped more smokers to quit than people who were only offered online NHS support. The research team hopes that by helping people manage trigger situations, the new app will help more smokers to quit. The work is published in Nicotine and Tobacco Research. Lead researcher Prof Felix Naughton, from UEA’s School of Health Sciences, said, “We know that quit attempts often fail because urges to smoke are triggered by spending time ...

Medtech’s resilience and flexibility have been clear to see during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this forward-looking view for 2022, CEOs from some of the Top 50 global medtechs share their perspectives on the present and the future, from company and health care system standpoints.
Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (AIP) and colleagues have tested AI-enhanced diagnosis of fetal congenital heart disease in a clinical setting. Both hospital residents and fellows made more accurate diagnoses when they used a graphical interface that represented the AI's analysis of fetal cardiac ultrasound screening videos. The new system could help train doctors as well as assist in diagnoses when specialists are unavailable. The report recently appeared in the scientific journal Biomedicines.
BioNTech and InstaDeep are creating a joint AI innovation lab in Europe to develop novel immunotherapies. “We see a significant opportunity at the intersection of AI and immunology by computational design of new precision immunotherapies,” says BioNTech. One of the key research areas will be the development of next generation vaccines and biopharmaceuticals – including for COVID-19 – as well as for the treatment of cancer and prevention and therapy of infectious diseases. The partnership between Mainz-headquarted BioNTech (which is collaborating with Pfizer on one of the leading mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine candidates) and London-based InstaDeep will create a joint AI innovation lab between the two cities. The lab will advance a portfolio of initiatives across drug discovery and design, protein engineering, manufacturing and supply chain optimization. Founded in 2014, InstaDeep has already developed collaborations in the global AI ecosystem: such as Google DeepMind, Nvidia and Intel. It was nominated by CB ...
