To improve the sensitivity and specificity of screening mammography, one solution is to have two readers interpret every mammogram Using a standardized assessment, researchers in the UK compared the performance of a commercially available artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm with human readers of screening mammograms. Results of their findings were published in Radiology, a journal of…

With the growing pressure on healthcare providers showing no sign of slowing, The Innovation Platform explores ways in which AI in healthcare can help increase performance One of the technology industry’s fastest-growing avenues is that of Artificial Intelligence (AI). From voice synthesis bringing fictional and real people to life to text prediction that is getting so good…

Scientists in Spain have developed a potentially life-saving strategy against a disease that spreads from the gut to other vital organs Cancer of the colon and rectum is a pernicious killer. A colorectal tumour, for example, can be removed completely from a patient but then pop up elsewhere in the body in another guise. Researchers…

European researchers are striving to improve the technology that could one day help blind people see again. Berna Gomez, a former science teacher from Spain, became a scientific subject herself in 2021. After being blind for 16 years, she took part in an experiment to restore her ability to perceive light. Gomez, then 57 years…

By tracking Covid-19 patients, doctors in Europe are in search of treatments for a lingering sickness that is both debilitating and puzzling Evelina Tacconelli, an Italian infectious diseases specialist, is seeking cures for a coronavirus-induced illness that’s playing havoc with the lives of millions of people in Europe and elsewhere.  Though Covid-19 itself is no…
