AI is increasingly finding its way into healthcare decisions, from diagnostics to treatment decisions to robotic surgery. As I’ve written about in this newsletter many times, AI is sweeping the ...

An algorithm used by major hospitals and healthcare providers misjudged how sick black patients were compared with their white counterparts, allowing healthier white patients to get additional medical ...

A medical algorithm capable of real-time monitoring of electronic health records can predict whether a hospital patient will deteriorate hours in advance and alert physicians about their decline. The ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithmic decision-making systems — algorithms that analyze massive amounts of data and make predictions about the future — are increasingly affecting Americans’ ...

When the coronavirus spread violently through the nation, disproportionately burdening Black communities, it was in some grim way the perfect reminder of why Dr. Noha Aboelata had founded her ...

Artificial intelligence algorithms are everywhere in healthcare. They sort through patients’ data to predict who will develop medical conditions like heart disease or diabetes, they help doctors ...

Most medical algorithms were developed using information from people treated in Massachusetts, California, or New York, according to a new study. Those three states dominate patient data — and 34 ...

Medical algorithms are used across the health-care spectrum to diagnose disease, offer prognoses, monitor patients’ health and assist with administrative tasks such as appointment scheduling. But the ...

A machine-learning algorithm can register brain scans and other 3D images more than 1000 times faster than traditional systems. (Courtesy: the researchers) Medical image registration involves ...
