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. 

4 takeaways from a Harvard hospital’s homegrown COVID forecasting

Researchers at Boston’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center are sharing insights they gained while building a locally focused, AI-aided model for anticipating COVID-19’s next moves.  

Brain iron buildup is associated with cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s patients

The MRI findings may push treatment research toward drugs that eliminate excess iron from the body, commonly known as chelators.

Will EHR-enabled AI size up doctors for data-demanding patients?

The COVID-19 crisis has worsened or exposed myriad problems in healthcare delivery. One is the way patients find physicians and hospitals. AI can help with that.
