Researchers at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) developed machine learning models that can detect the presence of sepsis in infants, hours before physicians. Findings from the study were published in PLOS One.

Though AI systems have shown promise for detecting skin cancer, more work is needed before they can be utilized in “real world” applications, according to researchers at the 2019 American Academy of Dermatology annual meeting in Washington, D.C.

OOVA, a Mount Sinai Health System spinout and diagnostic device company, is piloting an AI-based fertility tool that measures and monitors the concentrations of luteinizing hormone and progesterone—two key fertility hormones. The program is being piloted in collaboration with Thorne Research.

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco found Google Translate, Google’s AI-based app, can help non-English speaking patients and their providers. However, it's not perfect, according to research published in JAMA Internal Medicine.

A new machine learning-based system, detailed in the journal Frontiers in Neurology, screens children for fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) in a quick and more cost-efficient way. The system was developed by researchers at the University of Southern California, Queen’s University in Ontario and Duke University, and will be accessible to children in more remote areas of the globe. 

With the American College of Cardiology’s annual congress fast approaching in March and two new JACC medical journals slated to launch later this year, the ACC is lining up its priorities for 2019.

An AI-based sepsis screening tool could better help physicians find patients most at risk of developing the illness after it outperformed other traditional screening methods, according to a study published in the Annals of Emergency Medicine.

Sepsis is a leading cause of mortality in U.S. hospitals. However, most of these deaths are unlikely to be prevented with better care in hospitals, according to a new study published in JAMA Network Open.
