Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab has created Seq2Symm, an open-source AI tool that helps scientists determine the 3D shapes of certain proteins, including those found in viruses.
Seq2Symm uses AI to predict a protein's 3D shape and structure from a one-dimensional sequence. The tool could help researchers better understand diseases, develop drugs and vaccines, and create more sustainable materials....
A large language model-powered AI assistant developed in Hong Kong has demonstrated high accuracy in thyroid cancer staging and risk classification.
A team of researchers from the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), the InnoHK Laboratory of Data Discovery for Health, and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine conducted the study which built what...
A new study from South Korea has demonstrated the use of AI models to possibly diagnose and stratify attention deficit hyperactivity disorder by analysing eye images.
FINDINGS
Researchers from Yonsei University Health System used four machine learning models and the AutoMorph deep learning pipeline to analyse approximately 1,108 retinal fundus photographs from over 600 children with ADHD and...
Coreline Soft announces first China partnership
South Korean medical AI company Coreline Soft has entered into its first partnership in China.
It signed a memorandum of understanding with Suhai Information Technology, which reportedly runs a network of medical institutions in China. Coreline Soft will tap into this network to collect clinical data, which will help tailor its AI software...
A virtual reality training program has been developed to help paramedics and ambulance officers prepare for unplanned out-of-hospital births.
The training program called NEONATE features a 30 to 40-minute VR simulation of neonatal care scenarios during birth emergencies. These include temperature management, respiratory distress, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and one-minute Apgar score...
Phantom Neuro, a neurotechnology company that offers a muscle-machine interface for controlling prosthetic limbs and robotic exoskeletons, announced an oversubscribed $19 million Series A funding round, bringing its total raise to $28 million.
Ottobock led the round with participation from existing investors Draper Associates, Time BioVentures, Breakout Ventures, Risk and Return, and LionBird...
The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released two memos directed to the heads of all executive branch departments and agencies establishing policies on federal AI use and purchase of AI in government.
The memos, which align with an Executive Order President Donald Trump signed in January, replace former President Joe Biden's previous guidance (M-24-10 and M-24-18) but maintain...
Bipartisan senators introduced the Health Tech Investment Act (S. 1399), which would establish a Medicare reimbursement pathway for FDA-cleared medical devices that utilize artificial intelligence and machine learning.
The bill, introduced by Sens. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., and Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., seeks to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to "ensure appropriate payment of certain...
Neuranics, a Scottish deep-tech semiconductor company, has secured $8 million in seed funding for its magnetic sensing technology.
Blackfinch Ventures led the round, with participation from Archangels, Old College Capital, the University of Glasgow, Par Equity and the University of Edinburgh's venture investment fund.
WHAT IT DOES
Neuranics offers ultrasensitive, low-power magnetic sensing...
Seoul National University Hospital has developed what could be the first medical large language model in South Korea.
The project to develop the medical LLM began last year in March. The SNUH research team started by collecting 38 million clinical texts, including hospital admissions, outpatients, surgical, prescription, and nursing records, and de-identified and anonymised them to create a base...
