The US Government Will Pay Doctors to Use These AI Algorithms

There are artificial intelligence programs that can diagnose eye disease in diabetics and complications in stroke patients. SOME ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE breakthroughs happen in computer science labs or tense televised board games between a person and a machine. The latest advance in medical AI has less glamorous origins: the depths of US government bureaucracy. The US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid…

Federated learning allows hospitals to share data privately

Researchers have shown that federated learning is successful in the context of brain imaging, by being able to analyze magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of brain tumor patients and distinguish healthy brain tissue from cancerous regions. The approach can be used to create an Artificial Intelligence system that will help clinicians better identify and treat…

Using AI to Help Stroke Victims When ‘Time Is Brain’

The FDA is approving artificial-intelligence software to help diagnose diseases and help treat patients. SINCE ENTREPRENEUR CHRIS Mansi cofounded Viz.ai in 2016, the best-funded wizards of artificial intelligence have taken on board games, and created emoji that mirror your facial expressions. Meanwhile, Mansi has been developing algorithms to save the brain cells of stroke patients. This month, the…

Controversial Brain Imaging Uses AI to Take Aim at Suicide Prevention

Researchers are training algorithms to spot tell-tale signs of self-harm in brain scans. But there’s probably better data to use. WHEN SOMEONE TAKES their own life, they leave behind an inheritance of unanswered questions. “Why did they do it?” “Why didn’t we see this coming?” “Why didn’t I help them sooner?” If suicide were easy to…
