Applications of AI in healthcare, including medical diagnostics, drug discovery, patient care solutions, and biotechnology research.
Sunlight AI raised $17.4 million in seed funding and acquired Bradford Medical Associates as it builds an administrative platform for independent medical practices.
Georgia Tech researchers found that instructions discouraging excessive agreement reduced AI models' confirmation of delusional beliefs by 73.8%. Adding a self reflection step increased the reduction to 77%.
Radical Numerics launched Omnii-1, a genome language model that learns from DNA, RNA, proteins and other molecular data. The company says researchers used it to design a bacteriophage administered to a patient with a drug resistant infection.
The Gates Foundation updated its AI principles to focus on equitable access, local languages, community involvement, human oversight, privacy and measurable results.
Lifemed AI joined the MEDITECH Alliance program to offer its DeepClaim and Gateway systems to hospitals using MEDITECH. The products automate claim reviews, appeals, eligibility checks and patient registration tasks.
Sophont launches Holon-S1, a pan cancer AI model that predicts spatial gene and biological pathway activity from routine pathology slides. The model is available for research use only.
UT Southwestern researchers found that stigmatizing language in medical records can cause AI models to deprioritize emergency patients who later experience serious deterioration.
Trinity acquired Verix, adding its Tovana commercial intelligence platform and full team to TrinityEDGE. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Azra AI completed its acquisition of medical imaging AI platform Blackford Analysis, combining imaging analysis with patient care coordination.
Inovia Bio launched Falcon Workflows, an AI system that drafts clinical documents, forecasts markets, reviews literature and analyzes drug pipelines.
Penn Medicine researchers developed Percival, an AI model that finds signs of chronic disease and future health risks in routine CT scans. The model remains in preclinical testing.
XRlabs raised €7.48 million in seed funding to expand its surgical planning and operating room software. Playground Global led the round, with participation from Eka Ventures.
Mass General Brigham researchers developed two AI tools that use a facial photograph to estimate biological age and cancer survival.
Researchers at MIT, Boston Children's Hospital, and Inria developed E(3)-Pose, a deep learning model that tracks fetal head movement during MRI scans. The model uses head symmetry to help produce clearer 3D brain images.
Georgia Tech researchers received a three year, $1.5 million grant to expand a platform that helps older adults find assistive technologies for independent living.
EchoNous has released Torso NXT, a portable ultrasound probe for its Kosmos platform, with built in AI features and a replaceable wired cable.
Fabarta has upgraded its AI for Science platform with an RSI engine that connects materials research, experiments, pilot scale trials and industrial production.
Korea University researchers used AI and laboratory testing to identify three molecular fragments that inhibit DHPS, a human enzyme involved in viral replication.
Flow Compass lets healthcare teams build, test, monitor and manage AI workflow automation through conversational queries.
Poreva Open will test more than 10,000 AI generated protein designs through standardized wet lab experiments and publish the resulting data.
