New model identifies drugs that shouldn’t be taken together
Using a machine-learning algorithm, researchers can predict interactions that could interfere with a drug’s effectiveness.
Doctors have more difficulty diagnosing disease when looking at images of darker skin
Dermatologists and general practitioners are somewhat less accurate in diagnosing disease in darker skin, a new study finds. Used correctly, AI may be able to help.
What to do about AI in health?
Although artificial intelligence in health has shown great promise, pressure is mounting for regulators around the world to act, as AI tools demonstrate potentially harmful outcomes.
