Are doctors obsolete? “Deep learning” AI system trounced doctors in predicting heart failure in patients, boasting 97 percent accuracy

Autonomous cars are controversial, but proponents point out that they are far safer than traditional cars because the artificial intelligence systems controlling them are not vulnerable to human error. The computer, they say, won’t fall asleep at the wheel, get distracted checking its text messages, or drive while intoxicated. It’s better at math than humans, […]

Software-powered medical diagnosis already more reliable than “subjective” diagnoses from human doctors

British researchers have developed a new imaging technology for analyzing tumor biopsies. Furthermore, they claim their Digistain technology enjoys greater reliability compared to subjective diagnoses by human health professionals, according to an article in ScienceDaily. The Imperial College London (Imperial) research team promised that their new method can reduce the subjectivity and variability often encountered when […]

A.I. becoming a job threat to radiologists as research shows improved detection rates in X-rays

A new study suggests that it may only be a matter of time until the radiology profession is rendered entirely obsolete. Not by lack of skills or certifications, but by the rise of highly-trained and incredibly accurate artificial intelligence machines. The paper, which was put together by Stanford University researchers and published under the title, […]

As scientists inch closer to fighting cancer with nanobots, would you embrace having programmable robots in your bloodstream?

Scientists and researchers from the University of Cambridge have revealed that they are currently developing nanotechnology that can “navigate” a patient’s body and help fight cancer. But this effort, while laudable, raises one question: is it feasible to develop this technology instead of merely promoting lifestyle changes that can also prevent cancer? Technology advances by leaps and […]

New tattoo-like wearable sensor detects alcohol levels in sweat, sends updates to smartphone for private use

Engineers that are closely working with the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) have created a small monitoring device, worn on the skin, that identifies alcohol levels in perspiration. The new wearable monitor has the incentive of being non-invasive and unseen by other people, making it more applicable in settings where one would […]

Cancer detection breakthrough uses chewing gum to trap and analyze biomarkers for cancer already growing in your body

U.S.-based biotech firm Volatile Analysis‘ non-profit Hudson Alpha have developed a chewing gum that may help detect cancer. According to the company’s scientists, each type of cancer produces a unique set of chemicals known as volatile organic compound. These chemicals differ in composition per cancer type, in the same way a healthy lung produces compounds that are different […]

Breakthrough study confirms vitamin D prevents cancer… yet few doctors recommend vitamin D at all

Increasing vitamin D intake reduces the risk of cancer by 30% among post-menopausal women, a new study suggests. Yet, “health experts” still say that there is no conclusive link between vitamin D intake and reduced cancer risk. According to Marji McCullough, Strategic Director of Nutritional Epidemiology for the American Cancer Society (ACS), data from scientific reviews show varying conclusions […]
