Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a crucial component of healthcare to help augment physicians and make them more efficient. In medical imaging, it is helping radiologists more efficiently manage PACS worklists, enable structured reporting, auto detect injuries and diseases, and to pull in relevant prior exams and patient data. In cardiology, AI is helping automate tasks and measurements on imaging and in reporting systems, guides novice echo users to improve imaging and accuracy, and can risk stratify patients. AI includes deep learning algorithms, machine learning, computer-aided detection (CAD) systems, and convolutional neural networks.

New AI-enabled heart failure implant shows early potential
The AI-powered Relief System is able to modulate venous pressure using hemodynamic data. The goal is to help patients better manage heart failure congestion at home.
HHS tells employees to abandon Claude AI, as Trump feuds with developer Anthropic
The outlet NOTUS was the first to break the news, citing an internal email it obtained written by government officials. Agencies under the Department of Health and Human Services have been told to seek alternatives, mainly ChatGPT or Gemini. The shift could throw a wrench in the FDA’s plans to use Claude for speedy drug approvals.
Cardiology groups to Trump administration: AI still has a long way to go
Multiple cardiology societies responded to an HHS request for public feedback by outlining some of the current barriers to wider AI adoption. "It is essential that any policy frameworks must reaffirm that clinicians—not algorithms—remain at the center of patient care," ACC President Christopher Kramer, MD, said.
Labcorp expands use of digital pathology with renewed PathAI partnership
Laborp said the platform from PathAI will allow it to move all laboratory workflow digital, including slide review. The onboard artificial intelligence aims to simplify diagnostics, improving accuracy and turnaround time.
Radiology artificial intelligence firm asks FDA to exempt certain devices from premarket review
The petition from Harrison.ai has drawn mixed reactions, with AI vendors lending support while radiologists and patient groups worry the move could erode safety.

The Relief System from Relief Cardiovascular Inc. is a first of its kind device. It incorporates a valve and sensor implant that uses AI to intelligently modulate venous pressure using hemodynamic data. The system actively adjusts flow in the inferior vena cava (IVC), which lowers venous pressure to drive durable decongestion in heart failure.
